I'm in Canada, so open political discussion regarding the US is usually a topic of conversation when you don't want to discus Canadian politics with friends. Every. single. person. I have had this discussion with thinks what you do. I haven't talked politics with a Canadian yet that doesn't suspect something nefarious. Of course, it could be because us Canadians have a tendency to view the US as severely corrupt and our own system as much less compromised so we always think corruption/cia/spying first. At any rate, there is a lot of disappointment in Obama, and a lot of people I've discussed this with that know a lot less than me always ask me, "what happened?" I have no answers. I get there is a lot of obstructionism, but there is definitely more to it than just that.
