Im not happy with what is going on right now either, but it is what it is.. a game of chest thumping.

Honestly i am not paying much attention to Obama these days. Ive lost hope in a way.
Whether or not if Iraq and Afghanistan were "more" foolish, they were more than mere posturing. And they did project a U.S. power which was dangerous to provoke.

But you are wise to have lost hope in empty rhetoric. Next step is to lose hope in the government being the answer to our economic and social problems. We the People have the power to solve those problems, just as you, personally, solve yours. We must depend on ourselves, not the government.
