Look at who they're talking about running for president: Donald Trump. That would be funny if it wasn't serious. I mean, it should be a joke to the whole country, but they are really serious. The other serious contenders are Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachman, and gawd only knows which other crackpot they can come up with.
The thing is, the republican establishment doesn't really think it's serious. They saw Dubya run this country into the ground for 8 years, and it worked just fine for them. It just shows that they all know that the president doesn't have any power anyway, and the jokers they're running for president are going to be pawns to the corporations, anyway. They already KNOW it. They don't try to continue to push the meme that the presidency means shit.
Look at Obama. He sure snapped into line when he found out who was the boss, and it sure as hell wasn't him! Whichever nut the repukes run will do the same. Georgie just managed to stay drunk and drugged so he didn't have to worry about it. He let Cheney, Rummy, KKKarl and crew do their thing. Obama is letting Goldman Sachs, Bank of A, Gates, Geitner, Summers, etc. do like they were going to do anyway. He doesn't have a damned thing to say about it. Look at the Dept. of Justice and Eric Holder. What a fucking joke; what a fucking patsy. And Obama was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, for crissake.
The republicans are just driving home what the real problems are....the difference is, THEY think it's fun. The rest of us are scared shitless.
