The map that we will become familiar with in 2013. Just insert new republican names.

It's obvious that the economy, now on a rocket sled to crazytown, will not be coming back anytime soon. Let's forget for a moment the other stuff; wars, the beyond clusterfuckery of healthcare reform, we are now going to face a future so bizzare, pharmaceutical firms would make a fortune if they came out with a drug that made people into zombies to escape reality.

Oh, I suppose I could accuse others of enabling this new world that we will inhabit by pointing out that they are not doing enough, like pounding pavement, giving cash, talking up our guy. But in this society as it is now, people that are working themselves to death in minimum wage jobs are somewhat busy doing the mundane like surviving, and would not look kindly on being told "suckers", if the miracle of our guys re-election did come to pass. And by miracle, what happened at Lourdes would be everyday event and have a drive in vision in comparison to Obama being re-elected.

So this blame game of everyone is suspect but the one most glaringly responsible floats above the fray does no good. Not only is it crass and unimaginative, it makes the most needy of our society feel worse because they give their all to just survive, and taking the blame for someone who at this point was a bad choice is cruel, as they pay dearly for his gross ineptitude.
