    Hello again, tom:

    I know you think he's a pretty smart fella, and you think his presidency will be vindicated by history...

    I, on the other hand, think he will be remembered as the worst president in history. I even thought that before we experienced the biggest economic failure in the last 80 years on HIS watch.

    THAT, and his failed Iraq war will be what he's remembered for. AND, his reading list notwithstanding, I really DO think he's as stupid as he appears to be.

    I know it wasn't all but over. An example of perception of history being slanted? I'm a big military history buff Steve and I certainly know the role the Americans played. But Gal obviously doesn't.

    My main point was that there was no UN at that time.

    I know that we had allies, and did not intend to demean their contribution.

    How did the Bible get brought into this discussion anyway??

    But since you brought it up, Obama may need to read it. I see in my online news that China is in worse economic shape than we are, and Japan has been recession for 15 years.

    If Obama is going to solve all the problems, he may need to know how to walk on water.

    They need a thriving robust American economy.

    The unemployment rate among recent college graduates is at least 30% in China .They needs at least 25 million new jobs a year just to keep up.The economy in China is in a death spiral.
