When we had Bush at the helm, he was the worst President of all time. Now, Obama. It doesnt matter if it is Obama or Bush, or Republicans or Democrats, whoever comes next will become worst president, but better than his successor. Because America (for that matter whole world) is not controlled by Americans or the President.
I feel, the world is becoming more and more controlled by the mighty and wealthy individuals/corporations, and government around the world is gonna dance to their tunes, giving little or no considerations to the common man's cause. Because, they want to make it such a way that people will have no option to elect their president (as they are given free hand ONLY to choose either a devil or deep sea).
My humble opinion.
