Posted on November 13, 2010 at 2:16pmVoting in someone who was never properly vetted, and whom the media refused to vet for us creates a strong possibility that the person will be a disappointment. I blame Obama for his arrogance, but I blame the media more for their collusion in pushing forth an agenda and holding the American people hostage. Thank God for the internet and cable!!

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 2:11pmFormer President Bush prepared a package for Obama to take to present to them and he refused it. He thinks that he is better and can do things better and needs no help and that he knows it all. People who think that they know it all are actually stupid. When a person actually is very wise and very intelligent, they realize that they don’t know it all.

Teleprompters don’t work for wowing world leaders – there people aren’t the left wing media. The worst of it is, this exactly what Obama and his cronies want. He has no intention of strengthening this economy, as seen in the first two years of his agenda. Anti-colonialism is a slippery slope when you are the man in charge of the colonialists!

Posted on November 15, 2010 at 7:00pmOf course he needs to be impeached – for many reasons. But most folks don’t realize that the Senate is where an impeachment trial takes place and a 2/3 vote is required to make it happen. Even now, after a Rep pickup of 6 Senators in the mid-term election, the Dems are still in the majority in the Senate…. there’s not much chance of a 2/3 impeachment vote on any grounds. Anyone who voted for a Democratic Senator killed any chance for impeachment…hey, thanks a lot. WAKE UP AMERICA. ..rf

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 1:54pmOur President says:
“Whereas the U.S. had been the dominant superpower, “We are now seeing a situation where a whole host of other countries are doing well and coming into their own and naturally they’re going to be more assertive … and that’s a healthy thing,” the president said.”
His use of the past tense is disturbing…the United States’ Gross Domestic Product is still three times higher than that of even the most productive nations. This Administration is continuing to attempt to bring the US down to the level of the rest of the world. The Conservatives must hold strong against this pressure for mediocrity.
Report Post »Mary M. Tebbe
Posted on November 13, 2010 at 4:14pmdispman: We helped to make these countries greater then they were in the past by rebuilding some i.e. Japan, buying their inferior goods i.e. China and now India, and taking care of them along the way by feeding them American tax dollars to prop them up, etc.. Now they are turning on us. Is it any wonder? They now fully understand what George Soros intends to do to the American dollar and they are scared because it will affect them as well as us if George Soros is able to pull off the slow decline of the dollar. China and Japan also understand that the American people are no longer behind Obama and this corrupt administration, and so I think they will wait out the next two years to see what this new Republican surge will be able to do. I think the world always feels more secure overall when there is a Republican in power so let’s hope that the next president is a Republican in 2012.

The problem is, those things that make him good at that, suck in a leader, and he is just not leadership material.
His strengths are better suited for the outsider motivating the unmotivated. The Office of The President of The United States, requires something greater than that.

Posted on November 14, 2010 at 12:06pmI am not reveling in this at all. I don’t need CBS to prove to me our president is an abysmal failure who gets no respect abroad. THE STORY HERE IS NOT ABOUT EMBARRASSMENT-IT’S ABOUT TRADE DEFICITS AND POLICIES THAT MAKE AMERICA NON-COMPETITVE. His policies and the policies of past presidents too are hurting america period and shame on the south koreans for using Obama’s unpopularity to screw this nation. I know it goes further than this…we have too much regulation that prevents us from manufacturing our own goods.
I know becasue my husband had a manufacturing business and we heard a lot of that’s way too expensive..I can buy from home depot for half. My husband started telling them “yea, I asked my employees if I could pay them with rice and a few dollars per week and they said no.” I called the IRS to help me be more competitive if they could make an exception and not charge so much for taxes-they said no. We called our workers comp insurer and general liability insurer to get a break and they said no we must have our money. We got so discouraged we said forget it and got rid of all our employees and went to a service industry.
If it wern’t for us S. Korea would be living under kim jung il and not even able to produce a stinkin car. DON”T BUY KIA! I say all trade stops with those who will not buy from us NOW. These trade deficits are RIDICULOUS! I don‘t care if it’s protectionism. I’m sick and freaking tired of building other countries to have them spat in our face. Make no mistake…we are building China’s prosperity. We built Korea’s prosperity too.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 2:11pmThis President shows his true ignorance of the world; he failed at the olympic meeting to secure it for America, and now he fails to convince the world we are on the right track. And then he actually has to wonder why he just cannot speak and everyone will jump hoops to do it instantly? He is hell bent on the destruction of America, and his push to put India and Japan as permanent members of the UN security counsil is only going to imflame the Chinese; for they will not forget what Japan did to them in the second world war.

Posted on November 13, 2010 at 2:19pmThis is not about the man or the election – wake up. Follow the money. That’s what the G20 is about. Everyone on the planet knows we’re debasing our currency through the printing press and taking wealth from everyone that holds a dollar. 75% of the planet’s currency are in dollars. Foreigners hold a TON of it! The world is helping pay our debt and they’re pissed. China is full of it though, they used us to make an economy and did indeed keep their yen low. That’s why they bought treasuries to keep the yen from rising.

Unfortunately, to slow that destruction, failures are the world stage help to slow it further.
