There's one other possible root cause and that's our flowering skunk cabbage of an educational system. With all the political correctness, multiculturalism and relativism being taught is it any wonder that we're cranking out fuzzy thinkers that are only too willing to swept away by Obamas version of the ole Jedi mind trick?.......

Since there is a strong correlation between having a college education and being an Obama supporter, sounds like the right idea to me. Obama is very good at sounding the inspirational communitarian notes that are so appealing to this crowd. Since they are comfortable with leftist ideas and don't know any history, the socialist overtones don't ring any warning bells.

For me, I just see the on-going disaster of the Deval Patrick governorship of Massachusetts as the model for an Obama presidency. And this disaster is unfolding in a one party state, mind you. Like Obama, Patrick won on an inspiring "Yes, we can!" campaign managed by David Axelrod. But from his first days in office, it became apparent that "No, he couldn't."
