Four More Years

What am I missing here. Our foreign policy is in a shambles. The Iraq war is a catastrophe of enormous and far-reaching embarrasment. Yet we re-elect the President. Truly we have a massive cultural divide in this country. Retro vs. Metro? Maybe, but there is something more here. This election was not so much a political phenomona as an expression of very bitter differences rooted in peoples' fundamental views of themselves. The Reds are afraid of something but I am not sure what it is. We soldier on!
