What kind of democracy is this, in which the American people have been trapped maybe with incompetent people who follow the President blindly!  The media has played a leading role in electing the President or maybe they were the ones who determined the winner. Is this how we pretend to spread democracy at least to the poor and the needy in Africa and the Middle East? In fact, we do nothing but disturbing and unbalancing them. Take a look at the situation today in Tunisia, in Libya, in Egypt and in Syria, where human beings are killed without knowing why, and their security leaves a lot to be desired.

What arrogance! They cheat to control, whether it is the elections or the domestic and foreign policy. In reality nothing lasts, and Obama, with his magic ring he wears on his finger of the left hand, will fail to dazzle whomsoever. With the current situation I don’t believe that he will be able to straighten out the United States. While believing to do well, in fact he has done so many faux pas, and caused monstrous damage that sooner or later our children and grandchildren will have to pay for. I pray that the United States will be spared from all damage.

If Obama will not be able to put the United States on its feet again, how will he redress other countries, where he has encouraged democracy and which are now in distress? It seems today that the Cairo Speech was just a trial balloon.  Let the Arabs develop according to their own rhythm and their own culture. They will succeed, like all of Abraham’s children. The Europeans? In France we learned about “our forefathers the Gauls, who lived like the primitive people of today.”  And really, have they developed? WWII took place not so longtime ago. We have seen the destruction this civilization has caused. Therefore, let the nations develop in their own way and we will see whence the salvation comes.

It is high time that Democrats and Republicans come together and control any damage that could result during the next three years, until a good American president emerges.
