That's like criticizing a chess piece for only being able to move diagonally (sp?) LOL.

Yes you can. I can criticise Land Rover because they used to make their cars out of aluminium. But this meant they lasted for years and years, so they stopped doing that because then they get a higher turn over of sales. It's detrimental to the consumer, it's better business practise from their point of view and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the government in power at the time.

But my biggest point is that in times of peace and prosperity, we will always find something to complain about, and sooner or later down the line we start to convince ourselves that those little flaws make the whole system worth throwing out.

I don't give a crap about the U.S administration, the Daily Show, Colbert Report or Obama. I don't live in the U.S and have no intention of doing so.
My point is that your entire anti-liberal rant or whatever the hell it was is completely mis-directed in the context of my post which was a reflection on the state of the business of making and publishing games, of which I have a decades experience. And at no point did I bring governments into it. You did that all on your own. It sounds like you read what you wanted to read rather than what was actually said, or generalised what was said within a specific context to a general statement. One or the other.
