The basic premise of his argument " The Don, emblematic of Cold War American power, is struck by forces he did not expect and does not understand" is, uh, um.. WRONG. The Don understood all, expect using Mike to kill Sollazo and the Capt. Kurgan Michelle,

Hillary as Darth Vader, yes. But, I picture Barack HUSSEIN Obama more as Jar Jar Binks.

The President's main job is foreign affairs, not domestic affairs. His "touchy-feely, give 'em a hug" approach will prove to be a major disaster for this country. He just doesn't realize that every despot can't be/won't be our good friends, even if we just talk. Best thing he can do for himself is sit down and read a good...I mean a really good...book on American history on foreign affairs. But, no matter. All 3 candidates are interested only in themselves, not the country. Roman emperors. History repeating itself, to the chagrin of people who believe in this country's principles.
