Political cancer endangers America

President Obama and his minions are hard at work gnawing away at the fabric of our society. They undermine daily what Americans hold dear, making cockamamie intrusions into our lives, moving the country further left. Our gadfly president, his crony politicians in Congress (Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi), the news media with its liberal bias, special-interest lackeys (e.g. AARP and the Sierra Club), the open checkbook and potty-mouth Hollywood tribe and spending advocates, such as New York Mayor Bloomberg, are all people and organizations attempting to bring down the country with their psychotic ideology.
By design, nothing is being done to help the average citizen. “Real” unemployment is up, home sales are down; culture wars are at a peak. If ObamaCare survives, we can kiss off personal rights. As the gas prices accelerate, the economy will further crumble. Don't forget the right to bear arms (gun control) continues to be attacked and our justice department can't be trusted to protect our borders in Arizona and not to sell guns to the Mexican cartels. Let's not even talk about the military as the plans call for reducing their size, which in turn, will limit our fighting capabilities.
We must vote across the board in the November elections for candidates who will remove this cancer that could change our America forever. If we don't, we will become a second-class country our children and grandchildren will have to live with.
