Truth be told... there is a recession

I have been in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the last week.  If you look around this place, with boarded up businesses and foreclosure sales of homes, you understand that the recession in the US is real.  Government is out of money and people know it.  Contrast that to the Republican candidates debates where every debater blames one man for everything.  Obama, of course.  Congress, the Senate, state and local governments are out of control... and that is Obama's fault?

And what happened to American patriotism?  They crap on their president like he is a middle-eastern oil sheik with an AK-47.

The US is a dying empire.  They just haven't come to grips with it yet.
