That awkward moment when your president is a traitor & hypocrit.

He starts off by giving $14 trillion to the big banks. None of them are prosecuted for robosigning and fraud during the housing bubble. He continues with the Affordable Care Act (giving billions of dollars to insurance companies while leaving millions uninsured or with massively increased premiums). During his tenure the US national debt has doubled (granted, quite a bit of this was Bush's fault). Now the Fed has just raised interest rates into the teeth of a recession which will soon lead to the collapse of the greatest asset price bubble in American history. In 6 months everyone will realize just how badly Keynesianism has failed.

He foments wars in Libya and Syria that have killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs. Those Arabs are now streaming into Europe and may very well rip that continent apart. He attempts to start a war with China by sailing into their claimed territorial waters for no good reason. He attempts to start a war with Russia by overthrowing the government in the Ukraine and replacing them with a bunch of Neonazis. And all of this after winning the Nobel Peace Prize!

I'm seriously starting to wonder if he really is the Manchurian Candidate. TRUMP (or even Bernie) sweeping into Washington and fucking over all these bankers and career politicians while Hillary rots in jail is going to be incredibly cathartic.

Agreed. However, a few things:

-Rubio will likely be the Republican nominee, and has a not-remote chance at beating either Hillary or Bernie. Rubio is bought and paid for just like Hillary / Obama and Bush before him.

-Even if Trump or Bernie are elected, the only branch of our government currently more corrupt and parasitic than the presidency is Congress. They would 'sweep into Washington' and right into a lame duck presidency, until people get the hint and 95% of incumbents in Congress get replaced with genuine leaders.

-Bernie is still unlikely to beat Hillary nationally unless Hillary fucks something up.
