Has Obama Blown It?
I was optimistic, when Barack Obama became United States President, but after the setback in the mid-term elections has he blown it and given the initiative to the Republicans and especially the Mad Hatters.
Barack Obama had a lot of goodwill when he was elected, but his rather lacklustre performance since hasn’t done him any favours.
Some of his policies, like the closure of Guantanamo and health care, may have been laudable, but they just don’t appeal to many Americans, who have attitudes that are too far to the right for my liking.
I can’t help feeling that the United States is going to have a large fall, when the money is just not there anymore. The Republicans are now saying that they will defeat Obama’s Climate Change Bill as the Mad Hatters believe that global warming doesn’t exist and we should all carry on partying.
Nero only let Rome burn, but the Mad Hatters want to burn the world!
Years ago, the world needed American products. Now, those products come from everywhere and even those hi-tech ones are now coming from the other developed countries. And to make matters worse, some of their best brains are developing their new companies in Europe and the Far East.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

The extent of right wing thinking in US is a concern to me as well. I could say a great deal, especially about their love of interfering in the business of other nations! Brazil should be wary of US right now, after that huge oil find.

James,
There is a good article in the independent by Amanda Foreman, http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/amanda-foreman-obama-can-take-comfort-from-history-2124610.html.
It may not be all good news for the wingnuts.
