Absolutely... he should avoid dancing though.

Bammy is just the front man trying to dump some aircraft on them and hope they have the $ to pay for them. The rest is just for show. He hasn't had a vacation in 20 minutes to I guess he's due to take another one to take up the slack since he can't seem to pay attention to anything that is going on in the WH these days. Best to leave the scene of the crime until the "cops" leave and the coast is clear.

Who knows just why he had to take this trip when HillDog could have "sold" the surplus planes instead with much less overhead involved.

Also what's up with the proposed new Embassy in Afganistan?

Fell off my chair last night when I saw a trailer for a new TV show. It's called Palin's Alaska staring Sarah Palin and her pathetic family. Gosh, I'll make sure I put that show on my "ignore" list for sure.

I am thoroughly convinced they are now officially out of new ideas for TV shows...

There was more business done than just the Boeing deals making the expense involved in the trip well worth it. In total, around 20 separate business deals are in the works and this trip was a key part of the negotiations.
The good will from this trip will have even greater benefits.

Further ,by going exclusively to democratic nations in the region the President is sending a signal to the world that he could be making a "course correction"... Note that China is not on the docket.
Maybe he has ceased his faulty premise of reaching out to our enemies while insulting our friends.

We'll spend $550 million in expansions to our existing embassy in Kabul . That's the equivalent of 2 travel days for the President .It's a better signal than the date certain withdrawal .

Palin's documentary series of Alaska should be a huge boost for the State's tourism industry.

I just find it a complete embarrassment that our president goes there to beg crumbs. But then I already know Amerika has been dismantled. From the inside.

It's a realistic assessment of what India's place in the world is and will be in the 21st century.
It also represents our best hope from reliance on a terrible business partnership with China ,and a frankly ridiculous Cold War relic relationship with Pakistan.
The Anglo-sphere would be wise to strengthen economic and strategic ties amongst themselves . I do believe relationships like this will be the 21st century version of NATO.

Hello again, tom:

You're a good foot soldier.

And yet I have so far lavished praise on the President for this trip.
But that will probably end when he is deservedly thrashed at the G-20 meeting .

I know you wingers won't/can't get the distinction between Fox and MSNBC, cause you can't tell the difference between end of life counseling and a death panel...

Getting back to spinning the message, Ed Shultz asked the Rev Jesse Jackson what we're facing if we repeal Obamacare. His answer? "Creeping genocide."

"...this really is a mass march toward the kind of humane, uh human destruction the likes of which we've never known."

Nothing outrageous about that, huh? With all the talk of a new 1930's Germany in America, "creeping genocide" and other human destruction since the election, no wonder the left is now calling for second amendment remedies.

Hello again, Steve:

The Rev is correctamundo... If the health care law is repealed, the insurance companies will once again, take up their roll as "Death Panels".

Certainly, when an insurance adjuster DENIES a person certain medical procedures, as they'll be able to do if Obamacare is repealed, he's sentencing that person to DEATH... I call THAT a death panel. You? Not so much.

Genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group."

So if Obamacare is repealed, there will be no laws, no safety nets, no regulation, just anarchy and insurance companies will deliberately and systematically destroy who, blacks? The poor? The homeless? Union members? Who are they going to deliberately and systematically destroy and how is that going to grow their business?

Will this replace the "black genocide" of abortion he fretted about but learned to love in order to run for president? Creeping genocide bad, eugenics good? Is that it?

[excon]

and insurance companies will deliberately and systematically destroy who, blacks? The poor? The homeless? Union members? Who are they going to deliberately and systematically destroy and how is that going to grow their business?

Hello again, Steve:

There would be TWO categories of people who would be destroyed: the sick and the uninsured. Neither of those groups of people would grow an insurance company's business anyway.

Now, if you want to rest your argument on the word "genocide", I'm not going to split hairs with you.

""Death panels" actually sounds a little mild compared to "creeping genocide" and "human destruction the likes of which we've never known."
