Last Vestige of a Crumbling Empire

mr. panetta wants the world to know that the big bully’s gonna finish his last doughnut & parade with baton in hand to the asia-pacific, where now, he can stand as intimidating as he can muster, overlooking the rise of China’s economy & military, amidst his own crumbling interior, with both a domestic population whose pockets are empty & the military stretched all over the world to account for it, it’s only a matter of time before the complete irrelevance of the big bad boogeyman comes to a hilt--- when mr. panetta tells us all via numerous screens that the movement of the majority of US warships to China’s backyard is for any reason besides the last attempt to flex the droopy american muscles, an american citizen has to wonder just how bad mr. hope & change wants to leave us when he exits in 2016--- is he trying to top mr. dubya? who would have thought that was even possible when people were crying 4 years ago in the streets over his win against mccain? nothing makes enemies quicker than trying to assert force when there was nothing to instigate it--- great job leon, great job mr. hope & change--- from one citizen of the empire, right backatcha.
