YES WE CAN'T !!

The apotheosis of Barack Obama continues at breakneck speed. A vision of him hanging limply from a cross, Messiah like, at the end of his term, a martyr to Camelot and the Kennedy tradition, a tradition that has no basis in truth or fact will , I fear, be the only legacy for American guilt at past mistakes. What does he, what does anybody think that one term of office, for a Government that has lost the moral direction that the most powerful nation in the world should, must have, can do ? The American people continue to be the most generous on this Earth...but their expectations can and never will be realised..it is doomed to fail. The seismic shift in the financial system means that American influence will diminish as the emerging economies of the East sweep all before them. Like England before her, Americas failure to read the signs and act upon them has been her downfall and I don't believe there is any way back. American satirical magazine 'MAD' recently had a darkened skinned Alfred E. Nueman on it's front cover with the headline 'YES WE CAN'T''...an eerie portent of the inevitability of what is coming!!
