Obama and Zakaria might want to change democracy as we know it?

The Dumbing Down of Democracy - WSJ.com: "There is the clear sense that anything the Bush administration did, the Obama sophisticates will not do. Does the fact that the Bushies pushed democracy mean it would be bad form to support even our own political system?"

I erased this question yesterday from my blog post because I had already posed it earlier on, but I'm pleased that it now is officially asked. Obama's speech in Moscow can be interpreted as pragmatism replacing democracy. Fareed Zakaria pensioned the American governmental system in his book The Post-American World and seemed to praise China at the same time.

Another potentially important question to ask is if a one party system is about to form in the US? The demographics place representatives for the Democratic Party in all the hot spots where the intelligent people are and it would of course be good if the US would be ruled by intelligent people? If the Democratic Party indeed is smarter, one might now guess that it will stay in power for ever from now on. Yes, I asked the question. Should the US be ruled by the smartest people or by the people with the warmest hearts?
