If you see on the news, Obama is portrayed as an everyday guy. His family isn't some lavish fancy wearing family, they just dress in typical clothes. So the fact that they show him like that, gives the youth a liking to him. That's what several teenagers etc. have said here in LA.
And your idea that the US Military cannot be beat is sorta being an airhead, sorry to put it like that, but it's true. Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have shown that the military style we still used today, is no longer fitting for fighting the type of enemies we have. Vietnam showed us that with enough determination and courage, the US Military could be beat with guerilla warfare, where in the opposite case, we were still doing things like we had in WW2 etc. So I think that the US Military, can HIGHLY be defeated without being threatened from the inside.
And where did you get this idea that the EU would want to help and support the US, and allow us, Mexico, and Canada into the EU. The only nation in North America that I could think would ever be accepted was CANADA! Mexico would probably continue doing what it's doing, and probably fall into some drug cartel, police battle etc.

Ace, I like you, so I will be frank. You and I both know that the US did not have trouble in Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan because its military is weak. The US struggles and continues to struggle in those conficts because of the politics. We could and should have leveled Vietnam, Irag, and Afganistan with months and months of insatiable bombing before we even let one soldier set foot on the soil and I am not even going nuclear here. The problem is, the political fallout from all of the civilian casualties would have been a PR nightmare. Our military and the soviets and the brits military all have the capability to make short work of most of the worlds dictator problems and you know it. And don't go saying im an american prick, because right now my money is on the Russians for being the dominant up and comer in this new fucked up planet.
Also, dont go on and on about the guerilla warefare in Vietnam, the americans invented guerilla two hundred years before nam, just go ask the brits about that one. And also, the US continues on with guerilla warefare, its called the CIA.
