Actually it doesn’t look that much like Socialist Realism. Granted building a statue in the first term before he’s done much of anything is a bit much.

I don’t know why so many people get butt hurt that so many Americans are actually enthusiastic about their president for a change. I didn’t see hardly any Republicans bitching like this when the Supreme Court decided that their decision applied to Bush, and only Bush, nevermind the whole idea of setting precedent or wiping your ass with the constitution.. And all your criticisms can equally be applied to someone on the other side of the spectrum like Reagan, who is still having his ass kissed even though he’s been gone for years.

Also I am so sick and tired of seeing so many people who claim they know so much more about the almighty economy than everyone else. People who are fine to ride their high horse until someone the MAJORITY of Americans like goes against their beliefs. The hissy fits coming from the right would shame a high school drama queen. Two words… GROW UP.

Capitalism is the dominant economic system in the West because it works. When a system stops working it has to be changed. When parts start to break down, they must be fixed. Burying your head in the sand and crying foul when someone tries is juvenile at best. Capitalism exists to serve society. Society doesn’t exist to serve capitalism, and once you start sacrificing parts of it (leaving almost 50 million without health care, exporting jobs to save a buck while others become unemployed) then it no longer has any merits.
