Every insurrection uses the weaponry at hand, and as President Obama said, "You don't take a knife to a gun fight"

He had a catchy slogan, and great writers of his speeches that swayed the undereducated masses and he had lots and lots of money to buy the election, plus the mainstream media helped him by not reporting anything negative, unless it was about McCain or Palin. Among Democrats, 85 percent approve, while 84 percent of Republicans disapprove, along with 46 percent of independent voters.
But actually I think President Obama is starting to show great promise now that he is starting to lean towards the center and bailing out on his far left socialist buddies. He now realizes that the majority of Americans do not lean to the far left or the extreme right, but rather right down the center. The President said he's “willing to work with anyone of either party who’s got a good idea and the commitment to see it through.” and when he signed an $858 billion bill extending for two years the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels he shown that he meant what he said, much to the dislike of the far left socialist.
I think Obama is an intelligent, articulate man that has the ability to be a good leader as long as he continues to turn his back on the far left socialist in his party, (which in reality is only 20% of the democratic party) and continues to listen to the American people.

Or perhaps it just went over your head.

South Africa's Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation enforced by the National Party government, under which the rights of the majority none-white inhabitants were curtailed, and minority rule by white people was maintained, this will happen when good people are afraid to act and do nothing.

America gained Independence in 1783. so technically 228 years. 400 years ago the year would have been 1611, In 1611, a mutiny during an attempt to find the Northwest Passage left Henry Hudson adrift on what is now Hudson Bay, never to be heard from again.
