"" In any case, the USA government couldn't care less about humanitarian issues, .."

I am offended... and YOU should be ashamed! That is beyond the pale...you should be writing ads for Assad-""

The sad thing is that, although the statement is totally untrue of the current US government, the blocking activities of the Republican Party don't permit this government to do anything about it.

For this reason it tends to look as though the Obama government is as uncaring and vicious as its predecessor under the aegis of Bush/Cheney.

This is one of the great successes of the Republicans' determination to prevent Obama from succeeding in any of the changes he would have made to improve life in the USA, then blame HIM for not making those changes.

A democracy which demands 60% for a majority is NOT a democracy, since it places the will of the stronger party above the will of the people, and emasculates the weaker party.

And whatever Birdfeathers may think, there are significant differences between the attitudes and actions of the two.

Undeniably, Obama has tried to do what is best for the American people, while the Republicans have insisted upon doing what will benefit only the Republican Party, and to hell with the American people. The bottom line is they will never allow a n****r to succeed in the White House.
