Makes sense, after all, the Obama is a big fail.
Obama is the equivalent to Greek mythology Circe.

That's only possible without the Yankees living in Utopia of one more "American Century" built-upon a fundament of war, divide et impera, sanctions.

That's why you don't see me saying how great the USA, Israel* or NZ are. It's a waste of time and energy.
