True, we are a republic. But a lazy one so we misname it and it sticks! Thing is, dell and others keep bashing obama, but we originally supported mubarak. We only conceded the argument when our fellows in charge recognized that we were on the wrong side, that he was a goner.

yep-we didn't want him to lose power because he was friendly to our interests. ironic that we tried to prevent a dictator from losing power; obama only started supporting what had become inevitable when he recognized we were on the losing side.
but those facts can't stand in the way of griping at the pres-it's all his fault that an islamic guy is in charge now.
