After the last couple weeks of a clumsy dithering debacle these quotes seem relevant:

Written almost 100 years ago
*"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."
----H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920*

Written the day after the presidential election of 2012
“I think that the country can survive four more years of Obama, But I don’t believe the country can survive in a country full of people who would re-elect him.”
Rush Limbaugh, Radio Commentator November 7, 2012
