Remember the story of the emperor's new clothes? The emperor was so busy (playing golf, vacationing, etc.), and he was so inexperienced that he totally believed his tailors' lying rhetoric about the golden clothes being sewn for him.
His closest advisors (including the liberal media) praised him saying he looked fantastic in his new clothes. So, he paraded around the country showing off his attire until an innocent child yelled "Look, the emperor is naked!"
This is what has happened in the American political system with President Obama and other lifetime politicians. They are parading around our country naked (with no answers or substance) while the silent majority looks on in horror. Finally, these words are being loudly yelled, "Look, the emperor (government) is naked!"

Karen,
I remember reading a whole lot of letters like this about a certain two-term president that started two ridiculous wars, began the federal unfunded spending spree, and was in power for the 7 years prior to the economic collapse. From the More..
It wasn't until the third paragraph that I saw this writer was talking about Obama -- I thought it was about Bush or the GOP in Congress. How they cut taxes, sent our troops to Iraq, de-regulated Wall Street, and spent like drunken sailors, sending More..
