After walking away from the G20 meeting with NOTHING. Longhair is correct, Obama is delusional. By all acounts it was a major smack down. His "strengthened hand" claim may play to the faithful but the facts say otherwise.
"Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles," the president said. "But they're really important singles."
Typical Progressive attitude......small steps and pretty soon, everything is bonded together without monstrosity, publicly opposed, legislation like the Mandated Universal Health Care Reform legislation.
Yep, get those Republicans and Independents onboard with your small legislation. It will lead to bigger things unless a stalemate occurs, pens used for Veto power, and then Mr. Obama limps out of the White House after one term and no legislation passed his last two years in office.
Guess the Fed's $ 600,000,000,000 Stimulus sure didn't gather any foreign supporters. I wonder why the Secretary of the Treasury went along on the Asian/G-20 summit trip ?? Morale support or to distribute TurboTax software ???
Another trip, no jobs abroad, and certainly no jobs at home.
The first thing the President will tackle upon return will be a vote on raising the National Debt ceiling again. Forget about the National Deficit, the Bush Tax Cuts, the Economy, the housing market, or the unemployment statistics.
bicjf said:What this means is that the Bush administration was very successful in destroying the US economy in the eyes of the rest of the world.That was their plan to stifle any following administration by running up bills and deficits.Now the only money left in the United States is in the hands of the Extremely Wealthy and the International Corporations.The US Treasury, which is the people, is broke.
LOOK AT ME, I RITE IN BOLD, MEAN MY POINT IS STRONGEST ATN IT CARRY DAY! HTTING SNGLES, NOT HOMERUNS, AWEINSPIRING!!!
I BRAME BUSH I BRAME BUSH I BRAMEBUSH NOT MY PROBREM NOT MY PROBREM... or the problem of my idol, Obama, either....
Bicjf,
At what point is President Obama responsible for the country? He is almost 1/2 way through his term and that is not enough time for you so please let me know is it three years , four years. etc.
OK, so he walks away with nothing and is coming back (finally) to maybe focus on US economy and jobs unless photo ops or other vacations are more important. What a concept, President Dude. Maybe jobs for US citizens and legal immigrants should have been your focus from Day 1.
Obama's definitely delusional ..."The US is here to stay" .... he thinks that's like the pop tune "Our Love Is Here to Stay." Newsflash, Obama .... the USA isn't going anywhere even as you try to destroy us!! Your incompetence has made us STRONGER.
I'm full of hope that the President, in a polite way, told the Asian trading partners, what the GOP started with Richard Nixon, opening "Pandora's box" in the 1970s, has got to stop. The United States can not continue to bleed money and survive. And, I'm certain, he told the Chinese, that Bill Clinton will repay every bit of the $200,000,000.00 they gave him for the recognition of China to be a"most favored nation" one way slave labor trade partner!
The country Leaders represented, know Pres. Obama has no clout. He is weak, inexperienced, and unrespected by his own American Citizens. Obama is not the Statesman that he thinks he is. Dream on, because he can't even relate to a person on the street.
What about Obama's fine-tuned Financial understanding of pulling back, cutting budgets, and not spending like life will end tomorrow. It's our money; we have no say, and he doesn't listen.
Why should they listen to him? They do give him the respect of being Pres. of the US, but that is it. No deal, nothing solid about the issues, with nothing to report; again.
Pres. O, please start working in the US first.
The Stock Market took a "Shellacking" once again today, because they know that it is "Mission Impossible".
"Does this mean he'll be runnung as King of The New World Order in 2012 after he disolves the USA".
Naw..... I don't think Obama will run as king, he probably defeated and become community organizer, but Palin probably run as queen in 2012 and I betcha that she will be tough on China just like Bush (if she knows where China is). She probably gonna invade China because we positive proof that China has WMD, and after that the new world order will be Free Guns for all Americans, pray jusus, all gays must die, abortion is illegal. Man.... I just love Palin I can't wait until she becomes our next leader.
Who says Sarah Palin will be the next President. She is a "Cheerleader" for the Tea Party Conservative Movement. She is not Presidential material, but she gets her points across to the Democrats and can relate her ideas to most Americans..
Right now, her daughter Bristol, is killing her political ambitions.
For those not smart enough to understand BO's and America's position in world trade talks, get this down in your heads: No matter who was president at this time in our history, we are powerless to deal with China, Korea, or really anyone because we're dealing as a player who is indebted to everyone else. Someone else is holding our chips, and that leaves us in a hole that no president can get us out of without drastic measures. Are we ready for that?
With half of Mexico living here it looks like a North American Union to me.
Newayz, Obama hasn't got a clue nor has ANYONE else that has held the presidency over the last 20 years. China and Japan have kept their markets closed and uncompetitive and yet every few years its the same old brief whine by American Presidents.
Slap TARIFFS on these two one time and you will be shocked at how quick their attitudes change.
Free trade is what it is. Our stuff keeps going out and theirs keeps coming in. I thought we were losing that one??? I think this is more jobs overseas. KFC and McDonalds are over there, Walmart, and whoever else. They say overseas is where the growth is.
Funny how everyone, including all of the "experts" on cable "news" shows keep calling President Obama weak. I think it's absolutely laughable that "you" people keep calling him weak over here, splattering it all over the boob-tube, the Internet and print media (where they can see it) and then expect the man to go overseas and do what's in the best interest of the country and "you" people without catching hell from other world leaders? WOW!
What has been other President's excuses for not getting everything they wanted from foreign leaders? What do "you" people want the man to do? Bomb the Chinese because they won't raise the value of their currency? The sooner "you" people wake up and realize the United States isn't the lone bully on the playground anymore, the sooner you boys-n-girls will realize that our government, NO MATTER WHO THE FRIGGIN' PRESIDENT IS, can't go around telling folks what to do anymore. That was evident when Bush went to his oil buddies a few years ago and asked the Saudi's to bump up production of oil and they told him no too. It's the same thing folks!!!!
Obama is a idealist, who does not function in the real world.
That, is why America is headed on a speeding, out of control, economic train wreck, under Obama's realm!
Obama "thinks" in a global sense. Obama thinks the hell with wealthy America, share the American wealth with the rest of the (3rd) world! America was #1 too long!
There's nothing wrong with President Obama's looking on the bright side. It's called a positive outlook.
It's called detachment from reality, it's called delusions of grandeur, it's called an inflated sense of self-importance...it's called arrogance in an empty suit.
Just think two years these Countries couldn't get enough of Obama and his Rhetoric and now even they look like they can't stand the guy. He did succeed in one thing and that was making America look like a Weakened Fool! Now he's coming home with his tail tucked between his legs and will expect us to buy his rhetoric on just "how well we did do". We need to start calling him out on all the BS he throws! (sorry pardon me language) :)
For those coming off with the "Your all idiots and I'm brilliant"...Stow it!
Still trying to blame Bush?... Bush is selling books, not running the Country...Stow it!
Trying to say "No President" could have done better?...Stow it!
Obama should have NEVER gone on this trip (perhaps a short visit to Indonesia since he has canceled twice before!)... Obama just had his Butt handed to him in the Mid-Terms and thought it was still "Election night '08"... he was a being a fool and ended up looking like one also. I have seen much better Presidents do a much better job on the World stage... This effort was an Embarrassment to us all as Americans.
PRIDE.. over the ever overused and incorrectly described idea of "Trickle Down Economics" has blinded many. Its not "Trickle Down"... Its either the person who owns the Company I work for can afford to pay me... OR NOT. But some are SO DAMNED worried someone will get rich that they'll keep Millions too poor to buy a home or car just so that will not happen. Instead of "Spreading Wealth"... What is the problem with..."CREATING MORE WEALTH?" There is no..CAP... on/in wealth... you can Grow it and you can Shrink it. WHY (other then stupidity and pride) would we even consider shrinking wealth by taxing it or running it to other shores???
I'm sorry... But Obama is WRONG.. and I feel Soros and those behind him have a very terrible plan to derail America and Her Currency and status. Fortunately, we now know of these things because of some people who cared enough to expose it... I believe we can stop it before they get it done... Just stay strong and keep Voting them out!
Viewing Obama's trip from Asia I can see that it was 80% a big success. He signed deals to sell $10 billion of US industrial goods to India - thus keeping or creating around 50,000 jobs in the US - just to mention one thing. And the news coverage throughout Asia has been extremely positive about Obama and the US. This really pays off for us in many ways. Let those who know little about the outside world criticize the President - but they don't know what they are talking about.
Yes he did. Boeing got planes, Dow Chem got more relaxed regs. to create jobs there, and the mil. got weapons (halliburton). And in return, India got assurances that the US won't penalize companies for outsourcing jobs to India. A platform the Dems. ran on. And you can't back up the 50,000 jobs in the US. It is a number from the "cloud". Sounds more like political bribery to me.
So, 20 years from now, if our trade balance is still negative to the tune of 40B per month or more, and our economy is still in the tank, and we still don't manufacture anything, can we then tariff goods and penalize US companies for hiring non US, non taxpaying labor?
@Jay: As a Canadian I love you guys, but sometimes you have your heads so far up you butt you cannot see the daylight. You refer your President's success of selling $10 bllion of Industrial goods to India as 'a deal'; whereas to the rest of the world it was nothing but 'a trade'. 'A trade' in return for supporting India for a seat on the U.N. Security Council.
My advice to 'you' is, don't be so quick to judge others and start reading Intenational News rather than American propaganda.
Agreed, this is a very hard sell to the Pan Pacific Nations, and European Countries. They own us, because "O" gave the American Citizen's money away with Stimulus Packages; Government running the banks, loans to other countries.
If Pres. Obama didn't collapse in weakness all the time, they would take him more Seriously. Remember he is the Negotiator; negotiator of what?. He doesn't understand the US or Global Economy.
Other Presidents would make their case in a way that is believable. They have all been more "seasoned" as making "deals". O makes promises. Failure to tackle the big issues at home. That's how they see this President.
Yes, we are ready for Drastic Changes. Past Pres. were frugal Presidents compared to this high spending Government. Not ever, has 15,000,000,000 dollars been spent in 2 years. Not ever.. Where did the money come from?
TAXATION; you'll love it.
Remember this, "Fiscal Restraint"; a motto all of should abide by.
J Hill, It is spelled BLAME not BRAME, just like a left to not be able to spell a 4 letter word. How can there be Fair Trade or Free Trade unless we level the trading field with equal tariffs and trade quota's that all of these nations presently have on us (China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and of course Japan). We give all these nations advantages on us by allowing them to limit our exports to their countries and tax them at a much higher rate than we do to theirs. LETS MAKE FAIR for US for a change! Perhaps it is time to take away favored nation status to our competitors that do not reciprocate the same to us.
Hawaii2, perhaps it should be "PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS", and Invest in MENTAL HOSPITALS for all of the public housing needs of the lefties. Liberalism is a MENTAL DISEASE!!!
It still is Fiscal Restraint, something "O" was never taught. Did O ever work, having to figure out a paycheck and taxes, supporting his family with "what" money?.
The wealthy, "George Soros" and his Chicago buddies, have been supporting O for a long time for the stunning victory of Obama for President, even to the point of manipulating the Stock Market, and other Financial Institutions. George Soros is America's Enemy; O's best friend.
We have no Public housing; Tent Cities for the Homeless. A cruel joke on them, because they will never be able to find work, the Government squashing their ambition and making these people dependent on the Government for hand outs. It's easy to do nothing. "Collect" is another catch phrase--
How many very Left Wing Liberals come to illogical thoughts and decisions. Base line of Economy, Rights and Freedoms of US citizens, Amnesty for illegal Immigrants; special rights for their families. (free education, collecting SS, Welfare, etc.)
Interpreting the US Constituition; remaking it's words, and fitting it to their Agenda.
After reading this article it's pretty obvious that Obama is delusional. He won't admit doing anything wrong. He's said a couple of times now that the problem is that no one understands or recognizes the progress he's made. What a crock.
Said in exact terms; 70 per cent of the American people now see his plans during the Campaign, to resolve present issues were never or are truly -addressed. We need another "Beer Summit" to get something done.
Health Care--who asked for that?--Who is asking for a job, even temporary work, turning the Economy around with better Financial people; people who really are sincere about their work; experts in this realm. Where are they?. Is Obama doing all the finances himself.
BTW: Where is Timothy Geithner. Did he split from too much work? or is he really working somewhere else?. All the Czars have disappeared, along with his Staff..
Hawaii I'm not gonna lie. The first paragraph of your post confuses me. When Obama was campaigning he reminded me of a kid playing grown up. He kept saying what he was going to do with no plans to back it up. People obviously bought into it and elected him to do what he said he was going to do. Now reality has set in and we see that he was all blow and no show.
I've always said that health insurance is a benefit of most jobs so getting people working would help solve a big part of the healthcare crisis. They could raise the income limit on Medicaid a little to help people that can't find a job anywhere but McDonalds. I don't have a problem with helping people who are trying to get by. But I think the career welfare people need to get off their a$$, find a job and quit having babies to up their check.
I, too, don't have a problem helping people who need a hand up. It's the career welfare people who use their boatloads of illegitimate kids as entitlements for not having to work who gall me.
Yes, I just reread my statement. It is confusing--thank you---I meant to say that during O's campaign he made huge promises of fixing the problems left behind by George W.
He hasn't done a darn thing on any of the issues that were promised to Americans. It's gotten absolutely worse; he thinking he can wave a magic wand; the dire problems go away.
He is all talk, no action. President Obama can't come through with any solid plans, because as you said, he had no plans, just dreams of a Eutopian America. Who got snookered by all this campaign stuff; believing it.
The reason O got elected is, by "default". Bush was incompetent the last 4 years of his turn, so most Americans wanted and fell for his words of Hope and Change.
Not me, I thoroughly checked his record out before voting; saw him for who he truly represented. All voters in coming elections must educate themselves and become familiar with the Presidential Nominee.
It was his Associations of friends, including Rev. Wright, his Church, George Soros, and his undefined birth place, refusing to show his grades at Harvard. Lots of hidden information that set up a "red flag" for me..
What's to hide? A President needs to be open about his entire personal life and his values.
robin, you are right, it seems like every time Obama makes a deal America gets screwed. He is as dangerous to this Country as the terrorist we're fighting.
You think Obama's bad.....I would hate to see what we get if you people elect a quiting Governor!
Seems to me that every politician both Republican and Democrat that ran for an office above the one that they currently held and then won that office quit their job, Obama quit the senate to become president, Biden quit his job They all quit their jobs, It does not make any difference whether they were elected or not they still quit their former jobs....I am not a Sara Palin fan and I an not an Obama basher but that quit her job thing is really getting tired
Palin left Alaska with a 18 billion dollar surplus. Her reason for leaving was exemplary. Lawsuits because of taking the position of vice president running made made her a target of the liberal media which demonized both Palin and her children. Even the porn community attacked this lady who presented herself as an everyday American mom with mainstream values, concerns and the direction of middle class America. Her reason for leaving the governorship was Alaska would not get anything done with the attacks and lawsuits. Palin then joined with the Tea Party and played a big part in reshaping the candidates who ran for office in the Republican party as well as handing the Democrats there worst poitical defeat. Palin is family focus person and community as well. Her leadership begins in her home, her husband does not wander like say Hilary Clintons does another lady who wants to be president but cannot even control her own husband. Palin has problem solving abilities, when the gulf spill occurred she graciously told Obama which countries had equipment to contain the spill, being a Governor of a oil producing state, she knew instantly what to do and who to connect with. Palins advice was ignored by the Obama administration.. When these ships arrived in the Gulf, they were sent home and that decision was in every countries newspaper except the United States, Holland"s was where I read the article at the time and you can check it there. The reason for this decision was only maritime unions workers were allowed to clean up oil spills. Over a month passed before cleanup began by foreign ships that were brought back. Palin is also versed in our National Defense system due to Alaska position on the globe and had a security clearance and unlike say somebody like Eric Holder or Bill Clinton could not get a security clearance because of previous affiliations with radical and anti government groups. Unlike Mr Momus, Palin is qualified to be President in my estimation for reasons listed above and many more which time constraints and space prevent me from listing. Palin indeed represents mainstream America, her concerns are for her fellow Americans and if she were elected we would all have jobs by now. and Capital hill would not be a war zone. . .
You people are crazy. Sarah Palin quit because she couldn't stand the heat. The Greek God of Mockery has it right. This country would be in a world of hurt if McCain and Palin got in there. We'd be in a depression right now. Even McCain's wife and daughter disagree with that fools policies now.
chris.....Really? For real? LMAO OK...I usually don't take time to break stuff down for the clueless, but you have me cracking up over here and I can't resist. Let's see...where do I start?
Her reason for leaving was exemplary. Lawsuits because of taking the position of vice president running made made her a target of the liberal media which demonized both Palin and her children.
WOW. Thin skinned is she? The liberal media demonized her children? Really? How? LMAO
Her reason for leaving the governorship was Alaska would not get anything done with the attacks and lawsuits. Palin then joined with the Tea Party and played a big part in reshaping the candidates who ran for office in the Republican party as well as handing the Democrats there worst poitical defeat.
So, basically what you're saying is Palin got all of the Teabagger's elected? What about Christine O'Donnel? What about Sharon Angle? What about Fiorina? Paul didn't need her endorsement because of his daddy. Lisa Murkowski is smashing Joe Miller in her own damn backyard. Now that says a lot.
Her leadership begins in her home, her husband does not wander like say Hilary Clintons does another lady who wants to be president but cannot even control her own husband.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now that's really funny. Ol' Hill may not be able to control what her grown husband does, but Chelsea sure didn't get knocked up when she was in high school did she. You're right though. Her leadership does begin at home and it sucks clearly.
Palin is also versed in our National Defense system due to Alaska position on the globe and had a security clearance and unlike say somebody like Eric Holder or Bill Clinton could not get a security clearance because of previous affiliations with radical and anti government groups. Unlike Mr Momus, Palin is qualified to be President in my estimation for reasons listed above and many more which time constraints and space prevent me from listing.
I can assure you that, although I do posess an TS/SCI Clearance, I am not qualified to be President. On the other hand though, I can all but garuantee that I've had to process and utilize data that is waaaaaaaaay above Palin's level of Need-To-Know. Just because the broad can see Putin and wave at him in the morning, doesn't make her an expert on foreign policy. Come on, the woman thought Africa was a damn country! How dumb is that?
Sarah Palin did what she thought was in the best interest of her state and her family , If she was so afraid of the "heat" she certainly would not have put herself in the political limelight that she is currently in. As for your assertions that "This country would be in a world of hurt...We would be in a Depression" is simply your opinion and you can not provide any Factual basis for that opinion.
My opinion is that if McCain and Palin were elected that we would probably be in pretty much the same situation we are in now.
Last I checked McCain's wife and daughter have no leadership or political expertise other than being related to John McCain, Furthermore differences of opinion exist in many families and that in itself does not make either opinion right or wrong.
I do not think Sarah Palin will run for President and I do not know that if she did that I would vote for her, However the quitting her job thing is just beating a dead horse.
She is not currently running for office and targeting her for things she did not do is simply a diversionary tactic.
Seems to me that every politician both Republican and Democrat that ran for an office above the one that they currently held and then won that office quit their job, Obama quit the senate to become president, Biden quit his job They all quit their jobs, It does not make any difference whether they were elected or not they still quit their former jobs....
opinion....You sir/ma'am (whichever) are opaque. You are THICK! In fact, you're so blunt, you make Sarah seem sharp. They "quit" they're jobs you say? How about they got PROMOTED genius? Big difference! There's no hope for people like you. Wanna know what's really funny though....You KNEW who I was talking about without me mentioning her name! LMAO
As for the rest of what I wrote, I'm not going to even waste my time......
We would have never what kind of job Sarah Palin would have done had she had become President. It was John McCain who was running for US President in 2008. She was the VP candidate, remember?
Considering that Sarah Palin is now making more than the president I would say she has done pretty well for herself and that she actually did get promoted, As for someone being blunt or opaque Its funny how you have resorted to personal attacks on me when I did not on you ,I simply pointed out how opinions differ.
opinion...WOW! You're pretty thin skinned yourself I see. Birds of a feather I guess. As for her "promotion" as you put it, she still quit her job as Governor of Alaska, no matter how you want to try and spin it. And you say she's making more than the President? Maybe so, but that's beside the point. You don't get a promotion by quiting one job and going to another in a totally different venue. That's called, changing jobs genius! I simply pointed out the FACTS!
Pointing out that you resorted to using derogatory remarks about someone you have never met and know nothing about is being thin skinned, Wow......also..Just wondering what bird of a feather am I, I simply stated my opinion, You stated yours, I did not berate you, I did insult you by calling you names, I do not think I am superior to you as you obviously do of me.
Sounds like Hitler in his bunker talking about defeating his enemies the day before the Russians encircled Berlin. I guess Obama's reverted to smoking his wacky-tobacky again.
Sadly, it's the small business person and the American economy that's in the bunker, encircled by the fascist web woven by the Nazi sympathizer George Soros and his jackboot lilliputians who will tell you Obama is only "saving capitalism".
Really... If so, he is doing a damned poor job of it and does so only that the host be revived slighty so the parasites can continue to feed.
Its idiotic morons like you that give us all a bad name...President Obama has done nothing !!! Nothing at all to deserve a statement referring his actions to Hitler you lose mouthed punks!
I am not in full support of his methods and means, but when I hear someone like you of immoral mentality use freedom of speech that was given to Americans one and all alike to voice their opinions, and hear you openly abuse that right...I makes my blood boil you idiots.
We can differ with His opinions and policies as a President but you show better respect for the seat and the office or simply move out of our borders and boundaries, for you're kind are far more dangerous to our freedoms and rights than any politically corrupt politician or fundamentalist misguided terrorist overseas...your kind's existence along side we other truer Americans is an insult and embarrassment and I am sure if any of the Polish, Jewish or politically arrested members of the concentration camps back there in Germany tho few still exist, were within an arm reach they would use emphatic rage to brain bash your punk coward asses for the comments...I wish they could ban your butts... your kind are far more closely related to any Nazi enthusiast than any white supremest group's immorally unsound viewpoints.
If you can't use more of an educated response, don't reply!
it is not them that are the idiots, it is you. you demonized them for simply speaking their mind in a public forum and rather than having a legitimate argument against their statements, you simply refer to "their kind" as needing to be removed from society. that there is an example of proof towards you being a fascist, looking to exterminate all those who speak out against your precious king. even though i cant stand the feces that pours out your mouth i respect or rights to let you speak freely. and yes it is the american people that are trapped by fascist freeloaders, and you are an example as to why. you slandered you fellow man and labeled them as not even being the same kind as you, thats what hitler and other fascist did in ww2 when convincing people to commit genocide. your follow up to that was you saying that they shouldnt be able to speak freely and they should be removed from the country, all because you didnt like what they had to say. if anyone should leave its you, but i, unlike you, respect free speech and expression
Jeff Obama is not only sound like Hitler, he's martian trying to take over the world, have you seen the movie "Mars invasion". He has no birth certificate because he's alien, Obama is alien and he control people's minds. Obama is really really bad and evil he invaded Iraq and kill more than 600,000 Iraqi and 4,000 American soldiers and he has no proof that Saddam has WMD. Obama let Bin Ladin escaped because he's muslim and he support terrorists, he's really really reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad we must impeach him now.
Djdrew, You are absolutely right, Obama has done nothing, nothing but destroy our Country. Have you read any of the BIOS of the people he surrounds his self with?? His true colors are starting to show through and I'm afraid it's Socialist Yellow and Communist Red.
TkWIs We recently had an election. The majority of the electorate gave O a no confidence vote. The electorate was fair, O was given a warning shot, called Scott Brown winning the Kennedy seat In Mass. He ignored it. O continues to embrace positions that are unacceptable to the majority, instead of addressing the current issues he forgot who put him in office, the voter. During the last election, he continued the blame game. We have the highest unemployment in our history, millions of foreclosures, millions of personal bankruptcies, hundreds of bank failures and multiple terrorist attacks within our borders since his election. After 2 years in office America has been given Healthcare and Queers in the military hardly the recipe for getting us back on track. O has not united us, he has polarized the whole country. In conclusion he might as well be a martian or illegal alien, he certainly has not demonstrated he represents mainstream America.
Good grief. You Obama-haters are just so over the top. Do you really think you are being influential in any way? Your vacuous comments have no content other than baseless hate. Let's have some real facts to back up your statements for a change.
The only thing we can be sure of from those type of comments is that you really no insightful comments to make. Just crazy statements guaranteed to make other posters respond
DjDrew: No one said Obama was a Nazi. The comments are directed more at George Soros and his shadow government czars. You tell me what you think after you read the transcript. Certainly you will at least come away knowing the funder of these insidious shadow government fringe leftists has a soul. Barack Obama is just a pretty face with a teleprompter. He and people like you are, as Stalin referred to them in his day, "useful idiots."
Extended quotation from the 60 Minutes transcript follows:
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.
(Vintage footage of Jews walking in line; man dragging little boy in line)
KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) You're a Hungarian Jew...
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...who escaped the Holocaust...
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...by--by posing as a Christian.
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and--and anticipate events and when--when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a--a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that's--that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not--not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't--you don't see the connection. But it was--it created no--no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c--I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was--well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets--that if I weren't there--of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would--would--would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the--whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the--I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt. (George Soros, 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)

djdrew201, if you don't like what someone has to say, you have the right to voice your opinion. However, you need to do so without personally attacking another user.
Your President of personal enlightnment and propaganda is smoking and dreaming again. The World leaders see through his BS just like the US electorate did several weeks ago. Be careful of his Congressional Marxists in the Lame duck session, we must prevent all new Whizz kid spending programs. We are already stuck with Obama Care, two freak Supreme Court justices, a failed stimulus program, 10.6% employment, out of control spending and Nancy Pelousy to mention a few of the costly blunders.
Jimmy Carter no longer needs to worry about being branded the Worst American President.
BT3: Let's not get carried away, we are still stuck with the problems Carter unloosed, principal among them Iran and Afghanistan, with honorable mention for "giving back" the Panama Canal which allowed our Chinese friends full managerial control.
And this is not to mention Bubba Gump Bill Clinton in his treasonous sellout, allowing missile engine and guidance technology into the hands of the enemy Chinese, all the while relaxing security at Los Alamos, after which Wen Ho Lee absconded with the crown jewels of our nuclear secrets, the neutron bomb and the minitiarized warhead design of the W-88. At least he was impeached, at least we caught the traitor on something, like Al Capone for tax evasion. But the criminal should be in jail.
But of course, the liberals have resurrected his image as a grand lovable rogue paving the way for the rise of his sinister, power-hungry, co-conspiring, life-partner, Hillary.
True, we have yet to see the full flowering of Obama's nefarious crop for his seeding our government with openly Communist admirers of Mao and other Utopian variants.
God help us! Let us hold together until 2012, and that we elevate an honest, principled, transparent leader to office with the courage to unshackle us from the dystopian nightmare of these Carter/Clinton/Obama/George Soros Democrats.
Yes, Carter can't be called the worst president, because George W. Bush has that dubious honor. A huge unfunded tax cut, two wars not paid for, one of which was based on a lie, the 9/11 attack, the biggest recession since the Great Depression - George definitely has that honor.
You're right. george bush took that honor several years ago.
BTW---you are one of the most ignorant posters I've seen on here. I guess that put you in the same boat with bush. Heck, even he is trying to distance himself from dick cheney. shows what a group of losers they were/are.
Actually, I don't know where folks get the label that Carter was the worst President in US history. There have been quite a few more @!$%#-ups that have come before him and certainly one after him. I can think of a few like: Martin Van Buren, really any President between 1842 (with the exception of Taylor who died in office)-James Buchanan in 1857, Andrew Johnson (who has my vote for #1), Coolidge, Hoover, Nixon anyone???? W.?????
President William McKinley, who was all for taxing the hell out of the wealthy, said it best:
"It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also...."
Too funny. Americans remember stars and heros. Who had the most RBIs from the American League in 1939? Who is the homerun king? It is not what wins games.... and what this administration is at is not a game, that Americans remember or pay attention too. This guy needs to start hitting some homeruns, and quit acting like Jimmy Carter in the international scene. Don't you just hate baseball analagies? I know I do.
Guys, Bush achieved nothing too in the previous G20 submit when he was still in the office....so take it easy..... it not easy to sell such a huge plan since every leader only minds their own interest for their own countries...
Americans like you really should stop complaining...look forward and be more optimistic...just work hard and stay competitive...tomorrow will be a better day for you..
I have been more optimistic since the mid-term elections and the repubs won in the biggest landslide since WWII...perhaps we didn't explain it in terms obama can understand ...... jan the real fun will start--2012 will be even better and it will make things very clear...obam, indonesia or kenya will be more welcoming than america..
the title of this article is hilarious..obama claims...........well he claimed he had more on his resume' than just nailing protest posters to trees and now we know joe wilson was right all along.. .
1 million new jobs? Does that take into account the hundreds of thousands that we continue to lose every month? We're still @ 9.5+% and that's not wavering...this was his positive spin on unemployment in America?
Yes, the 1 million jobs is net, after accounting for lost jobs. It's not hundreds of thousands a month though. I think October lost about 45,000 government jobs, while the private sector gained for the fifth straight quarter.
The reason the unemployment has not gone down is because people who had previously given up seeking work are reentering the workforce. Better than the 700,00 jobs lost a month before President Obama stepped in, though still very slow.
Hard to believe anyone reading newspapers didn't know that. Well, now you know :)
Oh well, it seems the glamour has worn off, Black Jesus didn't go over very well this year at the G20 and got nothing that he wanted except ridicule and laughter from the fellow G20 members at how stupid he was regarding economic issues.
Go figure, Black Jesus never ran a business, never met a payroll and is in bed with Labor Unions looking to f'k businesses so he got what he should have gotten a year ago, nothing.
Last year they all wanted a photo op shaking his hand and this year they all wanted him to just go away and acted as if he had body odor, much like the Ameican people in the election in Nov 2010.
As Bill Maher called him, Chocolate Jesus. Funnier when he said it though.
But you're right, young people thought one man could somehow wave his hands and fix the economy, the wars, the housing crisis, etc. (in under 2 years no less) I'm not sure why it's important the President run a for-profit business though. Studies show that nearly every private sector business person that became a politician, ended up being awful (Bloomberg being an exception). It's a completely different skillset. Wait and see how Rick Scott crashes and burns in Florida.
As long as unemployment is high, the man at the top will take most of the blame. Still, barring some sort of GOP miracle, Obama is pretty much a lock for reelection until 2016. 2012 is two years away and the GOP has nobody viable to run against the President.
Hello Barry, I do understand that the people who brought him into office looked at him as a savior, but it sure sounds ugly to give him such a beautiful name like Jesus.
I do so agree though he could not walk on water and will never be good for America.
Your comment is sadly true miss yv. The American auto sector brought there demise on themselves. Unions and union workers do not put a penny into infrastructure, yet they made demands like they were the owners. The owners gave them an answer, robotics are developed which do a better job then the old union workers who were concerned about there benefits, retirement, breaks, and how much more they could gouge out of there company, thoughts of keeping the company in profits and quality control were not considered. The gov put GM back on its feet, I always bought American cars only, and preached to foreign car buyers to do the same. No more, I will never buy another GM vehicle, When the news broke about GM and the union contracts demands were made public, I realized for the first time, these unions must be broken completely, they pose a threat to our economy and free enterprise system with there outrageous demands on business. Pretty clear when at a red light the public feels the same way, my Buick is the only GM vehicle at the red lights, the rest are Toyotas, Hyundai, BMW, Honda...
There is no such thing as fair trade, only to those we trade with and stick it to us as often as they can. there needs to be tarifs on all goods being imported to the U.S. especally from China, if they don't like it then we stop all trade with them then see who cries uncle first.
The Obama stump speech is George Bush drove the country into a ditch. He neglects to mention that he did not call for a tow truck but instead he called for a cement truck to bury it so it never gets out of the ditch
obama da nob, they almosted laughed at this guy,( he is such a jerk) our so called media is just scrambling to put a spin on this embarrassment of a president.
The rest of the World now sees him for what he is. He went from a Rock Star to a joke in record time.. A Miserable Failure!!
Half of the young or uneducated people that voted for Obama had no idea how his lack of economic experience would lead to disaster at this pivotal time. Well welcome to reality.
I blame the liberal media for O. They headlined him for years and pumped the public full of baloney about what a great leader we were getting. After the election and down the road I had to laugh, newspapers, radio stations and other media began closing there doors, victims of there own endorsement. AP reporters are still running around looking for jobs and media existence is measured week to week. Even papers like the Wall street journal are still drowning in red ink and leveraged loans.Colleges like Harvard, Princeton and Yale are looking at bankruptcies, there endowment funds financial sheets are a can of red paint, These higher institutions of learning now specialize in degrees in African history, classes are held at night around a fire with students beating on a hollow tree used as a drum. with surpreme court justice Kagan leading the group discussions along with Emeritus of African history holding a beer can shouting anti police slogans, anti christian slurs surrounded and protected at all times by his 4 wives.
You must take it easy with Obama ! He never caused any of the problems he is here now to slove. In solving some decades long-piled problems, it could neither be done in a day, week nor months. All the problems Obama is solving in America were older than his tenure so far and I see no reason why he should be blamed at all for putting his best in addressing the issues. Please, America should pray for Obama and God willing, he will surely succeed as the 44th President of America. No one should twist his legs........if GOD say he will not fail, he will not fail. It's only GOD who gives power and only HIM can take it if HE so desires. The heart of every man is in the hand of GOD and HIS decision is final on any matter. HE created heaven and earth and those who dwell in it.
Its always easy to point fingers and blame it on President Obama!!!
Greedy people on the wall street ,people who borrowed to buy homes and couldn't pay back, unions who can never have enough and the list goes on and on. That's right, it's all Presedient Obama's fault.
Obama looks a little like a deer caught in the headlights. The spotlights are gone and the semi truck of destruction is coming at him at a pretty good space.
I read an article where Obama chastised the German Chancellor Merkel for not falling in line with his wishes. She told him pretty much to f* off and take care of his own country's mess. If the Germans are turning against him his halo is certainly fading.
when are the morons in washington going to wake up and realize that these other countries do not give a damn about us except for the money we can give them. They need to put so many restrictions and tariffs on thier products as they do ours, just like china manipulating their currency. these idiots in washington are going to drag us down until we are no more than a third world country.
James: Our own corporations went to China for slave labor and wall street loves it. You think our government will put tarrifs on their bed mates? We need a governmet, big corporations banks and wall street own this one.
Obama needs to grow a pair we all know that he's 100% pure politician with no balls. But lets not forget it's the republicans that sold us to china and will keep selling us to china in the name of corporate profits. And unless everyone has been asleep the last several years trickle down stopped with the tax cuts why would corporations and ceo's send down a little money when they don't have to pay taxes on it.
Obama is the most incompetent President this nation has ever seen. I used to think Jimmy Carter was bad, and he was, as President. Carter is a good humanitarian though. I give him good points for that. But as a President he was incompetent. But compared to Barack Obama, Carter is a saint by comparison. We need to make sure Barack Hussein Obama is a one term President people. The last election has given me renewed hope that America still has a chance to dig our way out of this Socialist Communist mess. Thank you America for waking up and smelling the coffee. Thanks for firing Pelosi as speaker of the House. A step in the right direction. But there is still more work to do.
So what makes a good president? Someone who gets us into wars every year? JFK was a great president, but as soon as he tried to pull out of wars they killed him. Bush was a joke, but he started a war so that makes him a great president.
Why doesn't Mr Great Unifier stay outside of the country for ever. The only problem is, the world's leaders are as tired of him as the rest of us here. We get what we deserve.
Seems to me like all some people can do is cry "it's Bush's fault. No it isn't. The last two years have put this country in more debt than it ever has been. Now he is overseas again messing around. When are some of the newly elected people going to put a stop to this mess. We need our jobs in this country not any more foreign countries. Someone had better wake up in Washington and stop all of this.
If you think the Repubs are going to create jobs here you are sadly mistaken. What happened when Bush was in office and had a Republican Congress for 6 of his 8 years? I didn't see my taxes go down, I didn't see gov't spending go down, I didn't see more jobs created here. I almost wish the Repubs would win in 2012 and take control, then the people will see they don't do anything but take more from the people, spend the same amount of money just for different things (read WAR and RICH). At least the Dems spend some of it on their own people. I think most Repubs would be happy to be in one of those 3rd world countries where they all would be above everyone else.
Unemployment was low during those 6 years, He did lower taxes(ie: the Bush tax cuts) and more jobs were created by the private sector, I will agree that spending did go up.
Bush also started 2 unpaid wars, he is the one that started the bailouts & just hands half of the money to wall street & banks with no strings attached like they are going to do the right thing. yeah right.
Does this mean he'll be runnung as King of The New World Order in 2012 after he disolves the USA?
obama is delusional.
There's nothing wrong with President Obama's looking on the bright side. It's called a positive outlook.
After walking away from the G20 meeting with NOTHING. Longhair is correct, Obama is delusional. By all acounts it was a major smack down. His "strengthened hand" claim may play to the faithful but the facts say otherwise.
What this means is that the Bush administration was very successful in destroying the US economy in the eyes of the rest of the world.
That was their plan to stifle any following administration by running up bills and deficits.
Now the only money left in the United States is in the hands of the Extremely Wealthy and the International Corporations.
The US Treasury, which is the people, is broke.
This is Barry's way of saying that the rest of the world, leery of neo-Marxism, handed him his ass in a bucket this week.
Typical Progressive attitude......small steps and pretty soon, everything is bonded together without monstrosity, publicly opposed, legislation like the Mandated Universal Health Care Reform legislation.
Yep, get those Republicans and Independents onboard with your small legislation. It will lead to bigger things unless a stalemate occurs, pens used for Veto power, and then Mr. Obama limps out of the White House after one term and no legislation passed his last two years in office.
Guess the Fed's $ 600,000,000,000 Stimulus sure didn't gather any foreign supporters. I wonder why the Secretary of the Treasury went along on the Asian/G-20 summit trip ?? Morale support or to distribute TurboTax software ???
Another trip, no jobs abroad, and certainly no jobs at home.
The first thing the President will tackle upon return will be a vote on raising the National Debt ceiling again. Forget about the National Deficit, the Bush Tax Cuts, the Economy, the housing market, or the unemployment statistics.

LOOK AT ME, I RITE IN BOLD, MEAN MY POINT IS STRONGEST ATN IT CARRY DAY! HTTING SNGLES, NOT HOMERUNS, AWEINSPIRING!!!
I BRAME BUSH I BRAME BUSH I BRAMEBUSH NOT MY PROBREM NOT MY PROBREM... or the problem of my idol, Obama, either....
Bicjf,
At what point is President Obama responsible for the country? He is almost 1/2 way through his term and that is not enough time for you so please let me know is it three years , four years. etc.
The idiot nobama says "The US is here to stay". Hummm, no shlt..............He's the one who will be leaving soon!!!
OK, so he walks away with nothing and is coming back (finally) to maybe focus on US economy and jobs unless photo ops or other vacations are more important. What a concept, President Dude. Maybe jobs for US citizens and legal immigrants should have been your focus from Day 1.
Obama's definitely delusional ..."The US is here to stay" .... he thinks that's like the pop tune "Our Love Is Here to Stay." Newsflash, Obama .... the USA isn't going anywhere even as you try to destroy us!! Your incompetence has made us STRONGER.
Here's what's wrong with Obama:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/a_shrink_asks_whats_wrong_with.html
I'm full of hope that the President, in a polite way, told the Asian trading partners, what the GOP started with Richard Nixon, opening "Pandora's box" in the 1970s, has got to stop. The United States can not continue to bleed money and survive. And, I'm certain, he told the Chinese, that Bill Clinton will repay every bit of the $200,000,000.00 they gave him for the recognition of China to be a"most favored nation" one way slave labor trade partner!
The country Leaders represented, know Pres. Obama has no clout. He is weak, inexperienced, and unrespected by his own American Citizens. Obama is not the Statesman that he thinks he is. Dream on, because he can't even relate to a person on the street.
What about Obama's fine-tuned Financial understanding of pulling back, cutting budgets, and not spending like life will end tomorrow. It's our money; we have no say, and he doesn't listen.
Why should they listen to him? They do give him the respect of being Pres. of the US, but that is it. No deal, nothing solid about the issues, with nothing to report; again.
Pres. O, please start working in the US first.
The Stock Market took a "Shellacking" once again today, because they know that it is "Mission Impossible".
if it's all about America, China and Japan, then the 3 Big Pigs should Come too their Sense's and give others a Fair Chance......
"Does this mean he'll be runnung as King of The New World Order in 2012 after he disolves the USA".
Naw..... I don't think Obama will run as king, he probably defeated and become community organizer, but Palin probably run as queen in 2012 and I betcha that she will be tough on China just like Bush (if she knows where China is). She probably gonna invade China because we positive proof that China has WMD, and after that the new world order will be Free Guns for all Americans, pray jusus, all gays must die, abortion is illegal. Man.... I just love Palin I can't wait until she becomes our next leader.
TkWis:
Who says Sarah Palin will be the next President. She is a "Cheerleader" for the Tea Party Conservative Movement. She is not Presidential material, but she gets her points across to the Democrats and can relate her ideas to most Americans..
Right now, her daughter Bristol, is killing her political ambitions.
Steve T
Does this mean he'll be runnung as King of The New World Order in 2012 after he disolves the USA?==========
================
Hey Steve,
What ever happened to the North American Union george bush was going to be President of?
You con clowns are hilarious. Not very intelligent but funny. Remember the saying "don't quit your day job"? I think your the exception to the rule.
For those not smart enough to understand BO's and America's position in world trade talks, get this down in your heads: No matter who was president at this time in our history, we are powerless to deal with China, Korea, or really anyone because we're dealing as a player who is indebted to everyone else. Someone else is holding our chips, and that leaves us in a hole that no president can get us out of without drastic measures. Are we ready for that?
With half of Mexico living here it looks like a North American Union to me.
Newayz, Obama hasn't got a clue nor has ANYONE else that has held the presidency over the last 20 years. China and Japan have kept their markets closed and uncompetitive and yet every few years its the same old brief whine by American Presidents.
Slap TARIFFS on these two one time and you will be shocked at how quick their attitudes change.
Free trade is what it is. Our stuff keeps going out and theirs keeps coming in. I thought we were losing that one??? I think this is more jobs overseas. KFC and McDonalds are over there, Walmart, and whoever else. They say overseas is where the growth is.
Funny how everyone, including all of the "experts" on cable "news" shows keep calling President Obama weak. I think it's absolutely laughable that "you" people keep calling him weak over here, splattering it all over the boob-tube, the Internet and print media (where they can see it) and then expect the man to go overseas and do what's in the best interest of the country and "you" people without catching hell from other world leaders? WOW!
What has been other President's excuses for not getting everything they wanted from foreign leaders? What do "you" people want the man to do? Bomb the Chinese because they won't raise the value of their currency? The sooner "you" people wake up and realize the United States isn't the lone bully on the playground anymore, the sooner you boys-n-girls will realize that our government, NO MATTER WHO THE FRIGGIN' PRESIDENT IS, can't go around telling folks what to do anymore. That was evident when Bush went to his oil buddies a few years ago and asked the Saudi's to bump up production of oil and they told him no too. It's the same thing folks!!!!
Obama is a idealist, who does not function in the real world.
That, is why America is headed on a speeding, out of control, economic train wreck, under Obama's realm!
Obama "thinks" in a global sense. Obama thinks the hell with wealthy America, share the American wealth with the rest of the (3rd) world! America was #1 too long!
America elected Obama, stupid is as stupid does!
It's called detachment from reality, it's called delusions of grandeur, it's called an inflated sense of self-importance...it's called arrogance in an empty suit.
Nothing positive there.
Just think two years these Countries couldn't get enough of Obama and his Rhetoric and now even they look like they can't stand the guy. He did succeed in one thing and that was making America look like a Weakened Fool! Now he's coming home with his tail tucked between his legs and will expect us to buy his rhetoric on just "how well we did do". We need to start calling him out on all the BS he throws! (sorry pardon me language) :)
For those coming off with the "Your all idiots and I'm brilliant"...Stow it!
Still trying to blame Bush?... Bush is selling books, not running the Country...Stow it!
Trying to say "No President" could have done better?...Stow it!
Obama should have NEVER gone on this trip (perhaps a short visit to Indonesia since he has canceled twice before!)... Obama just had his Butt handed to him in the Mid-Terms and thought it was still "Election night '08"... he was a being a fool and ended up looking like one also. I have seen much better Presidents do a much better job on the World stage... This effort was an Embarrassment to us all as Americans.
PRIDE.. over the ever overused and incorrectly described idea of "Trickle Down Economics" has blinded many. Its not "Trickle Down"... Its either the person who owns the Company I work for can afford to pay me... OR NOT. But some are SO DAMNED worried someone will get rich that they'll keep Millions too poor to buy a home or car just so that will not happen. Instead of "Spreading Wealth"... What is the problem with..."CREATING MORE WEALTH?" There is no..CAP... on/in wealth... you can Grow it and you can Shrink it. WHY (other then stupidity and pride) would we even consider shrinking wealth by taxing it or running it to other shores???
I'm sorry... But Obama is WRONG.. and I feel Soros and those behind him have a very terrible plan to derail America and Her Currency and status. Fortunately, we now know of these things because of some people who cared enough to expose it... I believe we can stop it before they get it done... Just stay strong and keep Voting them out!
Viewing Obama's trip from Asia I can see that it was 80% a big success. He signed deals to sell $10 billion of US industrial goods to India - thus keeping or creating around 50,000 jobs in the US - just to mention one thing. And the news coverage throughout Asia has been extremely positive about Obama and the US. This really pays off for us in many ways. Let those who know little about the outside world criticize the President - but they don't know what they are talking about.
@Jay.
Yes he did. Boeing got planes, Dow Chem got more relaxed regs. to create jobs there, and the mil. got weapons (halliburton). And in return, India got assurances that the US won't penalize companies for outsourcing jobs to India. A platform the Dems. ran on. And you can't back up the 50,000 jobs in the US. It is a number from the "cloud". Sounds more like political bribery to me.
So, 20 years from now, if our trade balance is still negative to the tune of 40B per month or more, and our economy is still in the tank, and we still don't manufacture anything, can we then tariff goods and penalize US companies for hiring non US, non taxpaying labor?
@Jay: As a Canadian I love you guys, but sometimes you have your heads so far up you butt you cannot see the daylight. You refer your President's success of selling $10 bllion of Industrial goods to India as 'a deal'; whereas to the rest of the world it was nothing but 'a trade'. 'A trade' in return for supporting India for a seat on the U.N. Security Council.
My advice to 'you' is, don't be so quick to judge others and start reading Intenational News rather than American propaganda.
We are in a war with China, and are losing. We need to impeach this president on any grounds and replace him with a leader. Amateur hour is over.
@Jay either works for Boeing or Dow Chemical or one of their suppliers. The deal does not do much good for most Americans.
awfton:
Agreed, this is a very hard sell to the Pan Pacific Nations, and European Countries. They own us, because "O" gave the American Citizen's money away with Stimulus Packages; Government running the banks, loans to other countries.
If Pres. Obama didn't collapse in weakness all the time, they would take him more Seriously. Remember he is the Negotiator; negotiator of what?. He doesn't understand the US or Global Economy.
Other Presidents would make their case in a way that is believable. They have all been more "seasoned" as making "deals". O makes promises. Failure to tackle the big issues at home. That's how they see this President.
Yes, we are ready for Drastic Changes. Past Pres. were frugal Presidents compared to this high spending Government. Not ever, has 15,000,000,000 dollars been spent in 2 years. Not ever.. Where did the money come from?
TAXATION; you'll love it.
Remember this, "Fiscal Restraint"; a motto all of should abide by.
J Hill, It is spelled BLAME not BRAME, just like a left to not be able to spell a 4 letter word. How can there be Fair Trade or Free Trade unless we level the trading field with equal tariffs and trade quota's that all of these nations presently have on us (China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and of course Japan). We give all these nations advantages on us by allowing them to limit our exports to their countries and tax them at a much higher rate than we do to theirs. LETS MAKE FAIR for US for a change! Perhaps it is time to take away favored nation status to our competitors that do not reciprocate the same to us.
Hawaii2, perhaps it should be "PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS", and Invest in MENTAL HOSPITALS for all of the public housing needs of the lefties. Liberalism is a MENTAL DISEASE!!!
mgo:
It still is Fiscal Restraint, something "O" was never taught. Did O ever work, having to figure out a paycheck and taxes, supporting his family with "what" money?.
The wealthy, "George Soros" and his Chicago buddies, have been supporting O for a long time for the stunning victory of Obama for President, even to the point of manipulating the Stock Market, and other Financial Institutions. George Soros is America's Enemy; O's best friend.
We have no Public housing; Tent Cities for the Homeless. A cruel joke on them, because they will never be able to find work, the Government squashing their ambition and making these people dependent on the Government for hand outs. It's easy to do nothing. "Collect" is another catch phrase--
How many very Left Wing Liberals come to illogical thoughts and decisions. Base line of Economy, Rights and Freedoms of US citizens, Amnesty for illegal Immigrants; special rights for their families. (free education, collecting SS, Welfare, etc.)
Interpreting the US Constituition; remaking it's words, and fitting it to their Agenda.
After reading this article it's pretty obvious that Obama is delusional. He won't admit doing anything wrong. He's said a couple of times now that the problem is that no one understands or recognizes the progress he's made. What a crock.
Edna:
Said in exact terms; 70 per cent of the American people now see his plans during the Campaign, to resolve present issues were never or are truly -addressed. We need another "Beer Summit" to get something done.
Health Care--who asked for that?--Who is asking for a job, even temporary work, turning the Economy around with better Financial people; people who really are sincere about their work; experts in this realm. Where are they?. Is Obama doing all the finances himself.
BTW: Where is Timothy Geithner. Did he split from too much work? or is he really working somewhere else?. All the Czars have disappeared, along with his Staff..
Axelrod is next.
Edna and Hawaii2 -- Heeeeeeeeeere's Obama!

NJ your link doesn't work.
Hawaii I'm not gonna lie. The first paragraph of your post confuses me. When Obama was campaigning he reminded me of a kid playing grown up. He kept saying what he was going to do with no plans to back it up. People obviously bought into it and elected him to do what he said he was going to do. Now reality has set in and we see that he was all blow and no show.
I've always said that health insurance is a benefit of most jobs so getting people working would help solve a big part of the healthcare crisis. They could raise the income limit on Medicaid a little to help people that can't find a job anywhere but McDonalds. I don't have a problem with helping people who are trying to get by. But I think the career welfare people need to get off their a$$, find a job and quit having babies to up their check.
Edna --- copy/paste the entire link (through the html) into your browser
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/a_shrink_asks_whats_wrong_with.html
I, too, don't have a problem helping people who need a hand up. It's the career welfare people who use their boatloads of illegitimate kids as entitlements for not having to work who gall me.
Edna:
Yes, I just reread my statement. It is confusing--thank you---I meant to say that during O's campaign he made huge promises of fixing the problems left behind by George W.
He hasn't done a darn thing on any of the issues that were promised to Americans. It's gotten absolutely worse; he thinking he can wave a magic wand; the dire problems go away.
He is all talk, no action. President Obama can't come through with any solid plans, because as you said, he had no plans, just dreams of a Eutopian America. Who got snookered by all this campaign stuff; believing it.
The reason O got elected is, by "default". Bush was incompetent the last 4 years of his turn, so most Americans wanted and fell for his words of Hope and Change.
Not me, I thoroughly checked his record out before voting; saw him for who he truly represented. All voters in coming elections must educate themselves and become familiar with the Presidential Nominee.
It was his Associations of friends, including Rev. Wright, his Church, George Soros, and his undefined birth place, refusing to show his grades at Harvard. Lots of hidden information that set up a "red flag" for me..
What's to hide? A President needs to be open about his entire personal life and his values.
robin, you are right, it seems like every time Obama makes a deal America gets screwed. He is as dangerous to this Country as the terrorist we're fighting.
Obama has proven that he is no more capable of handling foreign affairs than his inability to handle domestic affairs.
Go ahead Obama, TALK to the Iranians! - Sadly, he is unable to handle security issues as well.
I am sorry to say, but he precisely met my expectations. When you elect a community activist to be president, this is what you get
You think Obama's bad.....I would hate to see what we get if you people elect a quiting Governor!
Seems to me that every politician both Republican and Democrat that ran for an office above the one that they currently held and then won that office quit their job, Obama quit the senate to become president, Biden quit his job They all quit their jobs, It does not make any difference whether they were elected or not they still quit their former jobs....I am not a Sara Palin fan and I an not an Obama basher but that quit her job thing is really getting tired
Maybe it's time Obama quits this job to, before he sells the whole USA to China. :)
Palin left Alaska with a 18 billion dollar surplus. Her reason for leaving was exemplary. Lawsuits because of taking the position of vice president running made made her a target of the liberal media which demonized both Palin and her children. Even the porn community attacked this lady who presented herself as an everyday American mom with mainstream values, concerns and the direction of middle class America. Her reason for leaving the governorship was Alaska would not get anything done with the attacks and lawsuits. Palin then joined with the Tea Party and played a big part in reshaping the candidates who ran for office in the Republican party as well as handing the Democrats there worst poitical defeat. Palin is family focus person and community as well. Her leadership begins in her home, her husband does not wander like say Hilary Clintons does another lady who wants to be president but cannot even control her own husband. Palin has problem solving abilities, when the gulf spill occurred she graciously told Obama which countries had equipment to contain the spill, being a Governor of a oil producing state, she knew instantly what to do and who to connect with. Palins advice was ignored by the Obama administration.. When these ships arrived in the Gulf, they were sent home and that decision was in every countries newspaper except the United States, Holland"s was where I read the article at the time and you can check it there. The reason for this decision was only maritime unions workers were allowed to clean up oil spills. Over a month passed before cleanup began by foreign ships that were brought back. Palin is also versed in our National Defense system due to Alaska position on the globe and had a security clearance and unlike say somebody like Eric Holder or Bill Clinton could not get a security clearance because of previous affiliations with radical and anti government groups. Unlike Mr Momus, Palin is qualified to be President in my estimation for reasons listed above and many more which time constraints and space prevent me from listing. Palin indeed represents mainstream America, her concerns are for her fellow Americans and if she were elected we would all have jobs by now. and Capital hill would not be a war zone. . .
You people are crazy. Sarah Palin quit because she couldn't stand the heat. The Greek God of Mockery has it right. This country would be in a world of hurt if McCain and Palin got in there. We'd be in a depression right now. Even McCain's wife and daughter disagree with that fools policies now.
chris.....Really? For real? LMAO OK...I usually don't take time to break stuff down for the clueless, but you have me cracking up over here and I can't resist. Let's see...where do I start?
WOW. Thin skinned is she? The liberal media demonized her children? Really? How? LMAO
So, basically what you're saying is Palin got all of the Teabagger's elected? What about Christine O'Donnel? What about Sharon Angle? What about Fiorina? Paul didn't need her endorsement because of his daddy. Lisa Murkowski is smashing Joe Miller in her own damn backyard. Now that says a lot.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now that's really funny. Ol' Hill may not be able to control what her grown husband does, but Chelsea sure didn't get knocked up when she was in high school did she. You're right though. Her leadership does begin at home and it sucks clearly.
I can assure you that, although I do posess an TS/SCI Clearance, I am not qualified to be President. On the other hand though, I can all but garuantee that I've had to process and utilize data that is waaaaaaaaay above Palin's level of Need-To-Know. Just because the broad can see Putin and wave at him in the morning, doesn't make her an expert on foreign policy. Come on, the woman thought Africa was a damn country! How dumb is that?
That's all I can stand of this. What a waste!
Sarah Palin did what she thought was in the best interest of her state and her family , If she was so afraid of the "heat" she certainly would not have put herself in the political limelight that she is currently in. As for your assertions that "This country would be in a world of hurt...We would be in a Depression" is simply your opinion and you can not provide any Factual basis for that opinion.
My opinion is that if McCain and Palin were elected that we would probably be in pretty much the same situation we are in now.
Last I checked McCain's wife and daughter have no leadership or political expertise other than being related to John McCain, Furthermore differences of opinion exist in many families and that in itself does not make either opinion right or wrong.
I do not think Sarah Palin will run for President and I do not know that if she did that I would vote for her, However the quitting her job thing is just beating a dead horse.
She is not currently running for office and targeting her for things she did not do is simply a diversionary tactic.
opinion....You sir/ma'am (whichever) are opaque. You are THICK! In fact, you're so blunt, you make Sarah seem sharp. They "quit" they're jobs you say? How about they got PROMOTED genius? Big difference! There's no hope for people like you. Wanna know what's really funny though....You KNEW who I was talking about without me mentioning her name! LMAO
As for the rest of what I wrote, I'm not going to even waste my time......
Momus:
We would have never what kind of job Sarah Palin would have done had she had become President. It was John McCain who was running for US President in 2008. She was the VP candidate, remember?
Considering that Sarah Palin is now making more than the president I would say she has done pretty well for herself and that she actually did get promoted, As for someone being blunt or opaque Its funny how you have resorted to personal attacks on me when I did not on you ,I simply pointed out how opinions differ.
Hawaii...read my first statement. Enough said!
opinion...WOW! You're pretty thin skinned yourself I see. Birds of a feather I guess. As for her "promotion" as you put it, she still quit her job as Governor of Alaska, no matter how you want to try and spin it. And you say she's making more than the President? Maybe so, but that's beside the point. You don't get a promotion by quiting one job and going to another in a totally different venue. That's called, changing jobs genius! I simply pointed out the FACTS!
Pointing out that you resorted to using derogatory remarks about someone you have never met and know nothing about is being thin skinned, Wow......also..Just wondering what bird of a feather am I, I simply stated my opinion, You stated yours, I did not berate you, I did insult you by calling you names, I do not think I am superior to you as you obviously do of me.
should read: I did not insult you by calling you names
"Obama claims...."
Sounds like Hitler in his bunker talking about defeating his enemies the day before the Russians encircled Berlin. I guess Obama's reverted to smoking his wacky-tobacky again.
Sadly, it's the small business person and the American economy that's in the bunker, encircled by the fascist web woven by the Nazi sympathizer George Soros and his jackboot lilliputians who will tell you Obama is only "saving capitalism".
Really... If so, he is doing a damned poor job of it and does so only that the host be revived slighty so the parasites can continue to feed.
Jeff in NM and freempg
Its idiotic morons like you that give us all a bad name...President Obama has done nothing !!! Nothing at all to deserve a statement referring his actions to Hitler you lose mouthed punks!
I am not in full support of his methods and means, but when I hear someone like you of immoral mentality use freedom of speech that was given to Americans one and all alike to voice their opinions, and hear you openly abuse that right...I makes my blood boil you idiots.
We can differ with His opinions and policies as a President but you show better respect for the seat and the office or simply move out of our borders and boundaries, for you're kind are far more dangerous to our freedoms and rights than any politically corrupt politician or fundamentalist misguided terrorist overseas...your kind's existence along side we other truer Americans is an insult and embarrassment and I am sure if any of the Polish, Jewish or politically arrested members of the concentration camps back there in Germany tho few still exist, were within an arm reach they would use emphatic rage to brain bash your punk coward asses for the comments...I wish they could ban your butts... your kind are far more closely related to any Nazi enthusiast than any white supremest group's immorally unsound viewpoints.
If you can't use more of an educated response, don't reply!
It's very clear someone has been watching (and amazingly, believing) Beck's anti-Semitic ravings.
djdrew...................wow, now that was a real spankin for all us dummies that don't like barry.
Unfortunately, he called me the enemy just before the election just because I differ in my opinion.
You're right in one thing, dj, Obama has done nothing. Let me recant that, he did blow a lot of smoke up your behind and you're still itching.
And let's not also forget that the President before him is the one that has you broke!
Don't shoot the messenger!
dear djdrew201
it is not them that are the idiots, it is you. you demonized them for simply speaking their mind in a public forum and rather than having a legitimate argument against their statements, you simply refer to "their kind" as needing to be removed from society. that there is an example of proof towards you being a fascist, looking to exterminate all those who speak out against your precious king. even though i cant stand the feces that pours out your mouth i respect or rights to let you speak freely. and yes it is the american people that are trapped by fascist freeloaders, and you are an example as to why. you slandered you fellow man and labeled them as not even being the same kind as you, thats what hitler and other fascist did in ww2 when convincing people to commit genocide. your follow up to that was you saying that they shouldnt be able to speak freely and they should be removed from the country, all because you didnt like what they had to say. if anyone should leave its you, but i, unlike you, respect free speech and expression
Jeff Obama is not only sound like Hitler, he's martian trying to take over the world, have you seen the movie "Mars invasion". He has no birth certificate because he's alien, Obama is alien and he control people's minds. Obama is really really bad and evil he invaded Iraq and kill more than 600,000 Iraqi and 4,000 American soldiers and he has no proof that Saddam has WMD. Obama let Bin Ladin escaped because he's muslim and he support terrorists, he's really really reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad we must impeach him now.
Djdrew, You are absolutely right, Obama has done nothing, nothing but destroy our Country. Have you read any of the BIOS of the people he surrounds his self with?? His true colors are starting to show through and I'm afraid it's Socialist Yellow and Communist Red.
TkWIs We recently had an election. The majority of the electorate gave O a no confidence vote. The electorate was fair, O was given a warning shot, called Scott Brown winning the Kennedy seat In Mass. He ignored it. O continues to embrace positions that are unacceptable to the majority, instead of addressing the current issues he forgot who put him in office, the voter. During the last election, he continued the blame game. We have the highest unemployment in our history, millions of foreclosures, millions of personal bankruptcies, hundreds of bank failures and multiple terrorist attacks within our borders since his election. After 2 years in office America has been given Healthcare and Queers in the military hardly the recipe for getting us back on track. O has not united us, he has polarized the whole country. In conclusion he might as well be a martian or illegal alien, he certainly has not demonstrated he represents mainstream America.
Good grief. You Obama-haters are just so over the top. Do you really think you are being influential in any way? Your vacuous comments have no content other than baseless hate. Let's have some real facts to back up your statements for a change.
The only thing we can be sure of from those type of comments is that you really no insightful comments to make. Just crazy statements guaranteed to make other posters respond
DjDrew: No one said Obama was a Nazi. The comments are directed more at George Soros and his shadow government czars. You tell me what you think after you read the transcript. Certainly you will at least come away knowing the funder of these insidious shadow government fringe leftists has a soul. Barack Obama is just a pretty face with a teleprompter. He and people like you are, as Stalin referred to them in his day, "useful idiots."
Extended quotation from the 60 Minutes transcript follows:
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.
(Vintage footage of Jews walking in line; man dragging little boy in line)
KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) You're a Hungarian Jew...
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...who escaped the Holocaust...
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...by--by posing as a Christian.
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and--and anticipate events and when--when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a--a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that's--that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not--not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't--you don't see the connection. But it was--it created no--no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c--I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was--well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets--that if I weren't there--of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would--would--would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the--whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the--I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt. (George Soros, 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)
Correction to first paragraph above: Georger Soros has no soul (obviously).

Your President of personal enlightnment and propaganda is smoking and dreaming again. The World leaders see through his BS just like the US electorate did several weeks ago. Be careful of his Congressional Marxists in the Lame duck session, we must prevent all new Whizz kid spending programs. We are already stuck with Obama Care, two freak Supreme Court justices, a failed stimulus program, 10.6% employment, out of control spending and Nancy Pelousy to mention a few of the costly blunders.
Jimmy Carter no longer needs to worry about being branded the Worst American President.
BT3: Let's not get carried away, we are still stuck with the problems Carter unloosed, principal among them Iran and Afghanistan, with honorable mention for "giving back" the Panama Canal which allowed our Chinese friends full managerial control.
And this is not to mention Bubba Gump Bill Clinton in his treasonous sellout, allowing missile engine and guidance technology into the hands of the enemy Chinese, all the while relaxing security at Los Alamos, after which Wen Ho Lee absconded with the crown jewels of our nuclear secrets, the neutron bomb and the minitiarized warhead design of the W-88. At least he was impeached, at least we caught the traitor on something, like Al Capone for tax evasion. But the criminal should be in jail.
But of course, the liberals have resurrected his image as a grand lovable rogue paving the way for the rise of his sinister, power-hungry, co-conspiring, life-partner, Hillary.
True, we have yet to see the full flowering of Obama's nefarious crop for his seeding our government with openly Communist admirers of Mao and other Utopian variants.
God help us! Let us hold together until 2012, and that we elevate an honest, principled, transparent leader to office with the courage to unshackle us from the dystopian nightmare of these Carter/Clinton/Obama/George Soros Democrats.
And let me not exempt the RINO/Rockefeller/Dole/Bush/Bush useful idiot, enabler wing of the Republican party.
Yes, Carter can't be called the worst president, because George W. Bush has that dubious honor. A huge unfunded tax cut, two wars not paid for, one of which was based on a lie, the 9/11 attack, the biggest recession since the Great Depression - George definitely has that honor.
bt3,
You're right. george bush took that honor several years ago.
BTW---you are one of the most ignorant posters I've seen on here. I guess that put you in the same boat with bush. Heck, even he is trying to distance himself from dick cheney. shows what a group of losers they were/are.
Actually, I don't know where folks get the label that Carter was the worst President in US history. There have been quite a few more @!$%#-ups that have come before him and certainly one after him. I can think of a few like: Martin Van Buren, really any President between 1842 (with the exception of Taylor who died in office)-James Buchanan in 1857, Andrew Johnson (who has my vote for #1), Coolidge, Hoover, Nixon anyone???? W.?????
President William McKinley, who was all for taxing the hell out of the wealthy, said it best:
Too funny. Americans remember stars and heros. Who had the most RBIs from the American League in 1939? Who is the homerun king? It is not what wins games.... and what this administration is at is not a game, that Americans remember or pay attention too. This guy needs to start hitting some homeruns, and quit acting like Jimmy Carter in the international scene. Don't you just hate baseball analagies? I know I do.
Home-runs don't necessarily win a team the World Series! Good pitching and loads of base hits leading to runs do though!
Guys, Bush achieved nothing too in the previous G20 submit when he was still in the office....so take it easy..... it not easy to sell such a huge plan since every leader only minds their own interest for their own countries...
So much for hope and change, huh? I guess that Congressman Wilson said it best.
Americans like you really should stop complaining...look forward and be more optimistic...just work hard and stay competitive...tomorrow will be a better day for you..
you be more optimistic, you must have a job..... moron
I have been more optimistic since the mid-term elections and the repubs won in the biggest landslide since WWII...perhaps we didn't explain it in terms obama can understand ...... jan the real fun will start--2012 will be even better and it will make things very clear...obam, indonesia or kenya will be more welcoming than america..
the title of this article is hilarious..obama claims...........well he claimed he had more on his resume' than just nailing protest posters to trees and now we know joe wilson was right all along.. .
LMAO! Are you serious? Calling someone a "moron" because they're optimistic and they have a job? Too funny!!!!!! God Bless America!
kip360-1373017, calling another user a moron is a violation of rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.

1 million new jobs? Does that take into account the hundreds of thousands that we continue to lose every month? We're still @ 9.5+% and that's not wavering...this was his positive spin on unemployment in America?
Embarrassing.
Yes, the 1 million jobs is net, after accounting for lost jobs. It's not hundreds of thousands a month though. I think October lost about 45,000 government jobs, while the private sector gained for the fifth straight quarter.
The reason the unemployment has not gone down is because people who had previously given up seeking work are reentering the workforce. Better than the 700,00 jobs lost a month before President Obama stepped in, though still very slow.
Hard to believe anyone reading newspapers didn't know that. Well, now you know :)
Everything is Obama's fault. It's plain and simple for a simple guy like me.
"Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles," the president said. "But they're really important singles."
And then of course, there are the K's! In 0bama's case, the outfield wall is lined with 'em.
Do the right thing for once. Just resign. Even Nixon had enough sense to do that, and he never went to Harvard. So much for the "Ivory Leagues".
And for the post's to come, "Ivory" was what I meant. Like elephant tusks.
Oh well, it seems the glamour has worn off, Black Jesus didn't go over very well this year at the G20 and got nothing that he wanted except ridicule and laughter from the fellow G20 members at how stupid he was regarding economic issues.
Go figure, Black Jesus never ran a business, never met a payroll and is in bed with Labor Unions looking to f'k businesses so he got what he should have gotten a year ago, nothing.
Last year they all wanted a photo op shaking his hand and this year they all wanted him to just go away and acted as if he had body odor, much like the Ameican people in the election in Nov 2010.
Too funny
As Bill Maher called him, Chocolate Jesus. Funnier when he said it though.
But you're right, young people thought one man could somehow wave his hands and fix the economy, the wars, the housing crisis, etc. (in under 2 years no less) I'm not sure why it's important the President run a for-profit business though. Studies show that nearly every private sector business person that became a politician, ended up being awful (Bloomberg being an exception). It's a completely different skillset. Wait and see how Rick Scott crashes and burns in Florida.
As long as unemployment is high, the man at the top will take most of the blame. Still, barring some sort of GOP miracle, Obama is pretty much a lock for reelection until 2016. 2012 is two years away and the GOP has nobody viable to run against the President.
Hello Barry, I do understand that the people who brought him into office looked at him as a savior, but it sure sounds ugly to give him such a beautiful name like Jesus.
I do so agree though he could not walk on water and will never be good for America.
Can't get any concessions from the Koreans. Put a tariff on Kias and Hyundais. See what happens then. What's good for one is good for everyone.
What will happen is, more unemployment - the cars are built in the US with US workers.
Great idea. Then we can all pay more money for inferior products so the fat union employees can retire early and go fishin in Florida.
Those are not Union companies. That's probably why the cars a quite good actually.
Your comment is sadly true miss yv. The American auto sector brought there demise on themselves. Unions and union workers do not put a penny into infrastructure, yet they made demands like they were the owners. The owners gave them an answer, robotics are developed which do a better job then the old union workers who were concerned about there benefits, retirement, breaks, and how much more they could gouge out of there company, thoughts of keeping the company in profits and quality control were not considered. The gov put GM back on its feet, I always bought American cars only, and preached to foreign car buyers to do the same. No more, I will never buy another GM vehicle, When the news broke about GM and the union contracts demands were made public, I realized for the first time, these unions must be broken completely, they pose a threat to our economy and free enterprise system with there outrageous demands on business. Pretty clear when at a red light the public feels the same way, my Buick is the only GM vehicle at the red lights, the rest are Toyotas, Hyundai, BMW, Honda...
There is no such thing as fair trade, only to those we trade with and stick it to us as often as they can. there needs to be tarifs on all goods being imported to the U.S. especally from China, if they don't like it then we stop all trade with them then see who cries uncle first.
I don't know, but it kinda sounds like obama is running scared.
The Obama stump speech is George Bush drove the country into a ditch. He neglects to mention that he did not call for a tow truck but instead he called for a cement truck to bury it so it never gets out of the ditch
obama da nob, they almosted laughed at this guy,( he is such a jerk) our so called media is just scrambling to put a spin on this embarrassment of a president.
obama is the worst president ever.
i thought saddam was pretty bad
The rest of the World now sees him for what he is. He went from a Rock Star to a joke in record time.. A Miserable Failure!!
Half of the young or uneducated people that voted for Obama had no idea how his lack of economic experience would lead to disaster at this pivotal time. Well welcome to reality.
Thank you Gavin.
Forgive me, but I seeded an article about BO and hi Aisa tou. Not such a great tour.
I blame the liberal media for O. They headlined him for years and pumped the public full of baloney about what a great leader we were getting. After the election and down the road I had to laugh, newspapers, radio stations and other media began closing there doors, victims of there own endorsement. AP reporters are still running around looking for jobs and media existence is measured week to week. Even papers like the Wall street journal are still drowning in red ink and leveraged loans.Colleges like Harvard, Princeton and Yale are looking at bankruptcies, there endowment funds financial sheets are a can of red paint, These higher institutions of learning now specialize in degrees in African history, classes are held at night around a fire with students beating on a hollow tree used as a drum. with surpreme court justice Kagan leading the group discussions along with Emeritus of African history holding a beer can shouting anti police slogans, anti christian slurs surrounded and protected at all times by his 4 wives.
Singles ? Sounds more like he struck out to me !
You must take it easy with Obama ! He never caused any of the problems he is here now to slove. In solving some decades long-piled problems, it could neither be done in a day, week nor months. All the problems Obama is solving in America were older than his tenure so far and I see no reason why he should be blamed at all for putting his best in addressing the issues. Please, America should pray for Obama and God willing, he will surely succeed as the 44th President of America. No one should twist his legs........if GOD say he will not fail, he will not fail. It's only GOD who gives power and only HIM can take it if HE so desires. The heart of every man is in the hand of GOD and HIS decision is final on any matter. HE created heaven and earth and those who dwell in it.
Will, if you put it that way. Looks like obama AND your god have failed.
Its always easy to point fingers and blame it on President Obama!!!
Greedy people on the wall street ,people who borrowed to buy homes and couldn't pay back, unions who can never have enough and the list goes on and on. That's right, it's all Presedient Obama's fault.
Yup!
Obama looks a little like a deer caught in the headlights. The spotlights are gone and the semi truck of destruction is coming at him at a pretty good space.
I read an article where Obama chastised the German Chancellor Merkel for not falling in line with his wishes. She told him pretty much to f* off and take care of his own country's mess. If the Germans are turning against him his halo is certainly fading.
Community organizers do not good presidents make.
when are the morons in washington going to wake up and realize that these other countries do not give a damn about us except for the money we can give them. They need to put so many restrictions and tariffs on thier products as they do ours, just like china manipulating their currency. these idiots in washington are going to drag us down until we are no more than a third world country.
hmmmm, cant just blame washington though. Its the greedy ceos also who are buying all this junk.
James: Our own corporations went to China for slave labor and wall street loves it. You think our government will put tarrifs on their bed mates? We need a governmet, big corporations banks and wall street own this one.
Obama needs to grow a pair we all know that he's 100% pure politician with no balls. But lets not forget it's the republicans that sold us to china and will keep selling us to china in the name of corporate profits. And unless everyone has been asleep the last several years trickle down stopped with the tax cuts why would corporations and ceo's send down a little money when they don't have to pay taxes on it.
Obama is the most incompetent President this nation has ever seen. I used to think Jimmy Carter was bad, and he was, as President. Carter is a good humanitarian though. I give him good points for that. But as a President he was incompetent. But compared to Barack Obama, Carter is a saint by comparison. We need to make sure Barack Hussein Obama is a one term President people. The last election has given me renewed hope that America still has a chance to dig our way out of this Socialist Communist mess. Thank you America for waking up and smelling the coffee. Thanks for firing Pelosi as speaker of the House. A step in the right direction. But there is still more work to do.
So what makes a good president? Someone who gets us into wars every year? JFK was a great president, but as soon as he tried to pull out of wars they killed him. Bush was a joke, but he started a war so that makes him a great president.
Why doesn't Mr Great Unifier stay outside of the country for ever. The only problem is, the world's leaders are as tired of him as the rest of us here. We get what we deserve.
That sounds like a good idea, but is it worth $200,000,000.00 a day to keep him out?
Seems to me like all some people can do is cry "it's Bush's fault. No it isn't. The last two years have put this country in more debt than it ever has been. Now he is overseas again messing around. When are some of the newly elected people going to put a stop to this mess. We need our jobs in this country not any more foreign countries. Someone had better wake up in Washington and stop all of this.
The newly elected people do not take office until January 2011
I amend that to read with the exception of a few the newly elected do not take office until January 2011
If you think the Repubs are going to create jobs here you are sadly mistaken. What happened when Bush was in office and had a Republican Congress for 6 of his 8 years? I didn't see my taxes go down, I didn't see gov't spending go down, I didn't see more jobs created here. I almost wish the Repubs would win in 2012 and take control, then the people will see they don't do anything but take more from the people, spend the same amount of money just for different things (read WAR and RICH). At least the Dems spend some of it on their own people. I think most Repubs would be happy to be in one of those 3rd world countries where they all would be above everyone else.
Actually SusieQ,
Unemployment was low during those 6 years, He did lower taxes(ie: the Bush tax cuts) and more jobs were created by the private sector, I will agree that spending did go up.
Bush also started 2 unpaid wars, he is the one that started the bailouts & just hands half of the money to wall street & banks with no strings attached like they are going to do the right thing. yeah right.
