Folks we truly elected a a man out of touch with mainstream America.

The problem is far more serious than this.

Obama is taking actions, daily, that are destructive to the interests of America and cannot be undone, ever.

The damage from the release of the CIA documents -- for as much attention as it has received -- is totally being underestimated.

When Carter fired 800 CIA agents during his term the scope of the damage was not recognized for years. And frankly, most people don't realize it even today. Had this not occurred, the Beirut Marine barracks bombing quite likely would have been prevented.

It takes years, even decades, to get covert operatives in places where they can provide the kind of intel that is needed. To have fired these people willy-nilly was an act of absolute incompetence.

Now, we have a situation where Obama has opened up the CIA's files -- selectively releasing some of the most damaging information he could find (while keeping hidden from Americans the fact that these interrogations saved American lives). The effect of this may take years or decades to sort out, but the likelihood of our CIA discovering the next attack before it happens has been severely compromised.

The average American voter has no idea about this stuff. Those who put this man in office will owe the families of many dead Americans an apology for electing him. And I have a feeling the words won't be adequate.
