This is true. I'm not saying Obama is a tyrant like Chavez(sp?) was. And our food issues aren't nearly as bad as yours. I'm just saying that while grass might be a lot greener here in the US, it's slowly becoming brown. We may be far away from being like Venezuela, but we're headed in your direction with civil liberties being rolled back, like with the PATROIT act allowing the gov't to make warrantless wiretapping of citizen's phones, and then there's the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the President to detail anyone he thinks is a terrorist. Then there's the mega-rich buying out our politicians, becoming their guard dogs and subsidizers instead of serving the citizens they are supposed to serve.
I apologize if I offended you.
