The con is Obama, though I didn't fall for him personally. Though I did not vote for him, I wanted him to succeed, but clearly the fears that I, and the smart Americans had, are coming true. He conned people into thinking that he was moving to the center, but has remained the liberal he is. He conned people into thinking his lack of experience was not an issue when he has shown himself to be a neophyte on the job. He conned people into thinking that healthcare for all Americans was something that could be done, when in reality it is nothing but an expensive disaster which will hurt all Americans healthcare. He conned people into thinking he would not raise taxes on the middle class when he in reality wants to do nothing other than tax and spend, a particularly stupid move in a recession (actually a depression). His idea of stimulus put the money in the wrong peoples hands and has created great bonuses for the fat cats of failing corporations who don't deserve the bonuses.

I hope for our sake that he does not destroy this country. At least he is consistent, he is a mess on both domestic and foreign policy. Say what you want about Bush, but at least crazy dictators were afraid of Bush, but they certainly have no fear of Obama. Does anyone think it is a coincidence that we have not heard of Khadafy until recently? He will be a one term mistake and I hope this country has come to the realization that Obama/Pelosi need to go and the faster the better. (And while I am at it Barney Frank needs to go too, the author of the housing crisis). That is, if we are still a democracy by the time we get this moron out of the White House. He is giving Jimmy Carter a real run for the worst President this country has ever had.
