I received this via email, and unfortunately do not know the author's name..
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president." Author unknown

Part of what "Ails" the citizenry is the sense of "Entitlement". We all see it every day: Getting cut off, then flipped off in traffic/ getting pushed aside in the grocery line/ Waiting 15 minutes to speak to a customer service person who speaks English/ etc. 8 year-olds with cellphones. Welfare recipients driving an SUV. WIX coupons used to pay for strip steaks, baby formula, premium bread,,,,, and cash to pay for the beer and cigarettes.
And, it is not a racial issue. The attitude applies to illegal immigrants as well as many of some of our "affluent" neighbors and their children. We see it/post about it often on this Forum.
Complex problem. But, the first step I will take is the Voter's Booth in November 2010. DUMP THEM!!
