No, America's worst mistake was revolting against the Crown. The revolution set the stage for the USA to become the weird, divided and violent country it has always been. A country where the "Rule of Law" has always been weak, divisions have always run deep and unsolvable. If instead you had evolved into a free and sovereign state then you could have been a country as good as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Since your country was formed by a violent rebellion against authority it will always remain that way.
I'm glad that America did revolt against the crown. The forefathers recognized the threat of giving a government too much power over the people. They cherised the ideals of individual freedoms, and liberties that were endowed to us by our Creator. It's too bad that there are those in this country feel the government should coddle a person from cradle to grave.
The US has had a few miscalculations and errors in its history, but perhaps the most impulsive, ill conceived action in modern history has been the election of Obama into the White House.
We have a man in the White House with-
no executive experience
dubious far left and communist associates and role models
very little experience at all in politics
questionable work ethic in previous academic jobs
an unknown academic background which is still hidden from the public
a notion that the US is no better than any other nation
a vow to carry out the "dreams of his father" who was a marxist
The world is a more dangerous place due to the power vacuum provided by a weak leader with no effective foreign policy and "red lines" which are crossed and not questioned. The average American is poorer than in any time, other than the Great Depression.
Have we learned our lesson yet?
Is bitter depression a requirement for entry into the RWNJ club?

Only an idiot would think the electing President Obama is the US's worst mistake.

This is what I mean about conservatives. Forget the GWBush Presidency for a moment, and look at the shortsightedness of what you are saying.
The US has had many more grievous mistakes in modern history are you serious?
Jim Crow is modern history. Black Americans not being allowed to vote is modern history.
Watergate is modern history. The financial collapse which just occurred is modern history. The War in Iraq is modern history. The Vietnam War is modern history.
The people who believe that President Obama will be viewed as an unmitigated disaster are in fantasyland.
He will be remember for winning a noble peace prize, preventing a great depression, saving the auto industry, ending two wars, getting Osama Bin Laden, passing universal health insurance, ending DADT, changing the War on drugs, continuing the surveillance state, drone strikes, presiding over a slower growing economy, dealing with extremist and many times racist political opponents, and being the first non-white American President.

It may be correct to say that unhappy people are more likely to adopt leftist positions. You know "hope and change". Why? because they are not happy and want change.
Take black Americans, for example. It makes perfect sense that a black American who is essentially happy is going to be less attracted to the Left. Anyone who has interacted with black conservatives rarely encounters an angry, unhappy person. Why?
Because the liberal view on race is that America is a racist society. BUT. It is very hard, if not impossible, to be a happy person while believing that society is out to hurt you. So, the unhappy black person will gravitate to liberalism and liberalism will in turn make him more unhappy by reinforcing his view that he is a victim.
