"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

The Country Formerly Known as the Most Powerful Nation on Earth

To complete an intuitive vision of the current administration in Washington, Kathleen Parker, in her Our Foundering Father article in WaPo [Washington Post] has provided, perhaps unwittingly, the completion for the Obama presidential metaphor, using the meme of Prince. One of her lead paragraphs reads:

...Lately, it's been hard to tell whether Obama himself knows that he is the leader of the country formerly known as The Most Powerful Nation on Earth....
So there it is:
T.O.T.U.S., Leader of the Country Formerly known as The Most Powerful Nation on Earth
(For those who still haven't got the T.O.T.U.S. thing, its a Rush play on "POTUS", President of the United States, only in Barack Obama's case, since he clearly cannot think on his feet and requires a teleprompter for everything, the standing joke is that the real president is the teleprompter, since it contains all the words and thoughts - thus, Teleprompter Of The United States).

My, but it certainly hasn't taken Obama and the Democrats (no, its not a rock band) long to pussywhip The Most Powerful Nation on Earth. The nutroots must be so proud.
