Gore Vidal

This thinker says:

"As for health-care reform, he says Obama "fucked it up. I don't know how because the country wanted it. We'll never see it happen."

I stated my disapproval on Obama's handling of the Health bill in less acerbic terms (read below), but I agree with Mr. Vidal.  

He ends the interview with these morsels of wisdom:

"The U.S., he says, is "rotting away at a funereal pace. We'll have a military dictatorship fairly soon, on the basis that nobody else can hold everything together.


"Obama would have been better off focusing on educating the American people. His problem is being over-educated. He doesn't realize how dim-witted and ignorant his audience is. Benjamin Franklin said that the system would fail because of the corruption of the people and that happened under Bush.""
