Obama degraded US long before we degraded him.
And the opinions of people in other countries are very important - it's interesting to know that OTHER countries think Obama is weak - lets me know that I'm not the only one. AND if other countries think he is weak, they are going to try much more to take advantage - not going to be good for US or at least ME.
Time on my hands? - *I* don't have any - I have to get up at 3:30 every day and go to work.
Now I'm off to bed because 3:30 comes in 8 hrs 21 mins. Good night.
War is always changing. Historically, (as an example) soldiers would gather on a field or some other area and fight only with other soldiers although some civilians always ended up getting hurt. WWI and WWII changed all that. So in that sense, I tend to agree with nygirl7.
Unlike nick30, I am a pinko socialist lefty Canadian I do agree with some of what he said.
Obama is still well-liked in Canada. Personally, I don't see Obama as weak. Whether the king of Saudi Arabia is a criminal, I don't know. However, Obama bowing to him seemed more like a gesture of respect than weakness. Would he be considered week if he bowed to someone in a different culture like Japan or China where bowing is considered a sign of respect?
Ultimately, history will judge Obama just as it has judged all other presidents.
Teko - Obama controls our our bowel habits? I guess he doesn't want us to be full of shih = )
Now we have lowered ourselves to degrading our president to people in other countries. What are we coming to!!!! I am done with this thread, it makes me sick!!! I need a freakin smoke~~~~~~
Yes I would agree. When things aren't going well whoever is president is likely to get the blame. It depends what they are able to do about it. Whether they ignore the needs of Americans in general or that take action but then again I completely agree if we don't speak out on behalf of ourselves then in a way we are responsible for what happens. I did read an article where it states that President Obama selects and responds to certain letters people write, sometimes people in need. People have ever right to disagree with the president and I certainly have some concerns myself but if we don't voice our opinion then we losing our right to be part of a participatory democracy which is what we are fighting to preserve in the current war and people in many other countries may never see. In that regard we should consider ourselves lucky to live here and have these rights as Americans and never take them for granted.
I forgot you have a PM.. Prime Minister like the UK is he liberal or conservative a two party system....I will PM you a couple of links to go to and you may be your own judge and make your own mind up ..
I guess Obama invented the flu to bring our country down too cause he hates it sooo much. This has gotten totally ridiculous. I am curious as to where everyone gets all this time on their hands to sit and ponder this stuff. This is just sad. period. OK come on, every single thing wrong with our country, our personal lives, our bowel habits is because Obama is trying to destroy us! Whew, get a grip!
