A good article. I’m an Australian who follows american politics/society closely. President Obama is the most disappointing man to hold the office in my life time of 62 years. I think (hope) he loses in 2012. One thing though … (and thanks for the laugh about this).

America does not and never has had a health system that ‘was the envy of the world’. Hilarious notion … what is it now..?? 45 million americans without health coverage. Envy? Some Republicans need to get out more and stop drinking whatever it is they are putting in that ‘tea’.
