The US Isn't Sinking, but the Rats Are Lined Up on the Railing

I was watching a show last night talking about how America has changed, that perhaps the magic is gone and that is directly attributable to the lack of leadership this country has had for a long while. We haven't had an able leader since Roosevelt, and the country started its decline the farther we got away from the impact of WWII. We are no longer united, no longer have a viable government, and have lost all credibility with the rest of the world. We had our shot at being a superpower and have fumbled the ball. Things continue to worsen and I do not believe any of the current presidential candidates, indeed any of the current parties can save America. The majority has fallen under the power of the dollar, developed a “me first” anything for a buck attitude - pushing to get themselves, their special interest group, their race, their religion to the head of the line and get their fill from the trough. We've gone from a melting pot where folks pushed together for a common goal and the common good to a loose collection of people each pushing for their own supremacy. This may be the end of days for our country. The economy is shot, a large part of the food supply is underwater, and Bush and his cronies are doing their last world tour playing basketball with Eastern Europeans and trying to shore up Bush's failed Middle East policy.
