While people sit around poking each other on Facebook, robbers run around my Melrose neighborhood, gun in hand, taking money off innocent walking people.
Ah.
And now Russia’s all pumped up, full of oil money, rattling their sabers.
There are two big problems for American voters right now. The economy has slipped and the world, especially east of Berlin, is still loaded with ancient animosities, many people picking up weapons, looking to kill.
So. Bad economy. Bad warring world. Typical.
If Obama wants to win this election, he better get a serious grip on his world view. You hate to admit it, but it better be pretty hard assed. And if it isn’t hard assed, which is what Americans seem to want, then it better be strategically and philosophically brilliant. And the brilliance needs to be immediately understandable to Joe Q. Pennsylvania.

I hope you weren't one of the innocent walking people who got robbed. Oy!
We're going the way of Portugal and the Netherlands. Maybe we just all take turns. What's so great about being the greatest, anyway?
Robbers in Melrose?? These are desperate times and desperate people do desperate things...
