Thread: Obama bows down to Japan's Emperor

     Two ways to view that, PAPPY. You could say we took 25 cents of every dollar from everybody who made more than $100,000 a year to fund the  national defense - one of those few duties specifically assigned to the Federal government in the U.S. Constitution - and borrowed money for tax rebates to the poor, healthcare, foodstamps, national intelligence centers in...

That’s a hoot. The old fair-and-balanced line that “history will treat him kindly” only works because historians won’t be able to prosecute bush and cheny for their criminal activity and for bankrupting this country. Saying that bush was a decent commander in chief is like saying Alferd Packer was a decent chef. MyFriend- The current POTUS is kinda stuck with what he was handed. I have more confidence that he will be able to do a...

I guess Dubya was responsible for the cash for clunkers, and the massive spendulus?  Sometime or another the folks in the Administration will run out of opportunities to blame Bush.  Of course it is conveniently forgotten that the Democrats controlled the purse strings for the last 2 years of Bush's presidency. If they were so indignant about using communist money to fund the war, they could have cut off funding for the...

Unfortunately we funded both national defence and national entitlements with borrowings from foreign investors. The total cost of Dubya's two wars through fiscal '09 was $944 billion. The total debt owed foreign sources is  $3.4 trillion. That doesn't play well in Peoria nor in Anderson. -pappy I guess Dubya was responsible for the cash for clunkers, and the massive spendulus?  Sometime or another the folks in...

Another valid point here.  Does Obama not have a protocol adviser?  As head of state  he is of equal status with the emperor.  He should not be bowing, unless he's just trying to do the Japanese convention greeting.  He didn't bow to the Queen of England.  Again he had no protocol adviser because he grabbed her hand to shake it before she extended her hand.  Bad! Bad!...

You mean by giving terrorists rights of American citizens and trials by juries of their peers?  Unless you want suits of racial/religious profiling, there will have to be muslims deliberatly seated on these juries and then sensitive U.S. documentation will be turned over to people who want nothing more than the complete destruction of our society.  I feel safe now!!!!

Amen jd!

Amen, my adorable liberal friend!  I also am quite happy to live here in the US of A.
