I think there is sort of a hurdle emerging sentient beings need to get over, as they metamorphose from an evolved animal to a conscious being capable of self actualization and imagining the universe. They have to change from a genetically programed fighting animal to a loving animal. In our species only the women have the hardware (genetic make up) to make that happen. But if they/we succeed then we can build beautiful societies. I really think if women ran the world it would be a much much better place. More compassion, cleaner, more, organized, more equity, and much less violence. Women have been subjugated by males for all of history and are just now getting the ability to be fully self actualized; and when they do, they perform magic. And the secret ingredients are economic self sufficiency, safety, freedom and education, and when they are able to avail those things they turn into super humans capable of forming societies whose greatness we have yet to witness. We see it all over the world in governments and economics and education. Given the chance they outperform men every time.

Obama is the kind of threat the constitution was meant to prevent. This is not just my opinion but the legal opinion of law professors who voted for him. The more accurate phrasing of your statement is that Bush and Obama trashed the country in different ways. The damages that Obama has done are more difficult to reverse because they are better institutionalized. How many of Bush policies did you hate? How many of them has Obama reversed? How many bankers and corrupted executives are in jail? And how many ordinary people has his administration destroyed just to make an example of and send a message? There's only 3 issues that I care for: 1 - Campaign finance reform and serious limits on buying legislation. 2 - Enshrined government transparency. 3 - Permanent (or hard to change) environmental protection. Why don't you list how Obama has done on those fronts? Note that the first two were corner stones of his campaign. ST
