confederacy of fools ? I prefer deceived citizenry

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to
limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to
have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and
far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails
us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the
vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can
survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of
fools such as those who made him their president.” -- Author
