tejek, some of my overseas friends wrote to me to compliment the American voter when we elected Obama. They said that it was commendable that in the interest of saving the nation and in a patriotic fervor, the Americans decided to look past race and vote the best person for the job.

When they read that within 2 years, the American voter is likely to vote the Republicans back in during November, they coined that term (United States of A???). Now after they read this story about how low our politics can get, it is likely they may change that to United Super A????
