The "Boy Who Cried Wolf" effect
Consider this....So what happens if this country faces a REAL terrorist or national security threat?

This administration has relied on the fear card, been exposed as liars, cried wolf, and created a false "boogieman" environment. I fear the day a real threat emerges. How are we supposed to take anything that comes out of this administration seriously?

"We're under attack!! No, really...I mean it this time."

It blows my mind how much damage this man has done, much of which is yet to be seen.

2. Monkey has ruined it for the next ten presidents, I fear, at a minimum
Where we used to think that the President would indeed put country first if the shit hit the fan, now we know that even when hiring contractors for a little war of choice, they're still vetting the candidates by political party.

Total bastards, they are. And Monkey is the Bastard in Chief.

3. If we get hit again ...
After all the bullshit and loss of civil liberties then we will know for sure that the neo-cons did it.
