    I just got chastised by NK for posting something from some blogger. Does this mean it's OK now?

    Nah, the website that ex posted is truly horrible and amateur, reminiscent of web design circa 1994. :)

    The blogger has not thought the issue through . Creating trade barriers is bad business . Conservatives like business to prosper we don't like "beggar thy neighbor " policies

    You may be old, you may have a short memory, and you may be a liar, I don't know. I've been on the 'right' for a long time; the only place I've heard this BS is from union thugs; are they your type?

    Obama, leading the blind into oblivion: "'A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future,' Obama said in his prepared remarks. 02/04/09 Obama: Catastrophe coming if Congress doesn't act

    How is Obama any different than Bush?

    Mr president


    Obama, be like Reagan - Los Angeles Times



    Quote:



    Keep it optimistic at all times. As with FDR before him, Reagan arrived in Washington with an intuitive understanding that how Americans feel in their gut about the economy is more important than the cold numbers. "We're in control here," Reagan said in a televised speech on Feb. 18, 1981. "There's nothing wrong with America that together we can't fix." The public, weary of Carter's much-discussed "malaise," responded -- with a remarkable 77% in a poll that spring saying Reagan was "inspiring confidence in the White House." Today, the best thing that Obama can do to sell his massive economic stimulus plan that could approach a cost of $850 billion or more is to exude an aura of certainty that it will work.

    "The double-act of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin has come up with a series of security initiatives that seem designed to provoke, or at least irritate, the new administration in Washington. Without even waiting to hear how President Barack Obama intends to conduct his relations with Moscow – something that Joe Biden, his vice-president, may well address on Saturday at the annual Munich Security Conference – the Russian leaders have thrown down the gauntlet."
    ... “But there is an overwhelming view in Moscow now that the Americans are in decline and will be forced to negotiate with Russia from a position of weakness. They seem to expect all the concessions to come from Obama. It is very unrealistic.”

    Joe Biden ? I really hope Obama has the good sense to send someone else out there to be his point man with the Ruskies .

    Poll shows Obama atop list of most respected

    Quote:

    President Barack Obama has catapulted past the Dalai Lama as the most respected world leader among West Europeans and Americans, according to a poll released Friday.
    His ratings contrast sharply with those of his predecessor, George W. Bush, whose Republican Party was routed in the U.S. elections in November. Earlier results indicated that Bush was considered powerful but was not respected. The new survey shows Obama as the No. 1 world leader on both fronts.

    I do not believe so. I believe Obama is committed to this country and to peace. He will do everything in his power to keep us out of a war, unless the United States is threatened or hit again by extremists.
