Jocelyn,

Yes u are right Americas star is dimming even after only 70 years of it's coming to light!

Why because after the 2nd world war u had everything, all the major powers of the world owed u money. You were the only country who's industry wasn't in tatters, in fact it was booming after all that war production.

However u threw it all away, it's not Obamas fault he's inherited it.

You spend money that you don't have on a huge military budget to maintain your world influence whilst large proportions of your population can't even get basic medical care.

You now owe the world money, China one of your so hated communist countries which you fear Obama is turning you into has u in it's pocket.

Americans have taken the rest of the world for granted for decades assuming that their way of life will prevail and while you have been squandering your resourses on personal frivolity, the rest of the world has been out performing you economically and politically to the point that you find yourselves in today.

Don't blame Obama, blame yourself.

Your day maybe near but Europe's, China's, India's, Brazil's, Russia's.... are just starting!
