It is my opinion that it is the job of an American President to
conduct their foreign policy in a manner, which is 100% in the self-
interest of the USA, not to approach other nations hat-in-hand as
Obama and his Sec. of State 'Billary' have done.

I also expect that other nations too act purely in their own self-
interest - that is their purpose. Only when common interests can be
furthered should there be any type of accommodation or cooperation -
that is the way of nation-states.

The CARS program is NOT good for the economy! Selling more Japanese
cars is NOT good for America, especially when at the same time; we are
propping up GM and Chrysler to the tune of several billion dollars!
Nor is it significantly impacting the environment, especially when one
considers that whatever reduced carbon emissions or saved petroleum is
more than negated by the excesses in both these things by emerging
nations such as China and India.

The CARS program, as originally conceived was to be a $1Billion, 90-
day program. 33 days into it, the Administration threatens Congress
with their August recess unless they add an additional $2Billion to
the program, and this without any accounting for how the first billion
was spent or what goals were achieved. It's as if they wanted
$3Billion all along, but knew Congress, and the American people, would
not have stood for that - the camel in the tent syndrome. A very real
reason to distrust the current Administration and it’s motives.

Socialism does not work in the sense that it stifles innovation, work
ethic and does not create wealth through value adding. Many euros now
reside in the US specifically because of their socialist homelands. In
fact, a salesman at a local car dealership is a Netherlander from the
Haig named George (aka the Dutchman). I once asked him how he came to
live in the US, his reply was that he was "tired of working hard and
getting nowhere, watching the govt. spend it on people who didn't
contribute”... his words, not mine.

It's incredible to me that when confronted with the obvious lack of
experience, missteps and lack off progress to-date by our current
president, people (along with the Media) inject a comparison to Geo.
Bush. That is laughable! If you insist on comparing the two, well at
this same point in his presidency, Geo. Bush had a 56% approval rating
to Obama's current 50%. I was no particular supporter of many issues
in the Bush presidency, but I did feel that he was president for ALL
the people. But, Bush ain't the guy, he's yesterday's news. Obama is
now the guy who is supposed to get it done, who promised to get it
done, who said he knew how to get it done. Comparisons like this are
no comparison at all - different time, different circumstances.

At this time in our country's history, America seriously needs a
leader. Unfortunately what we got was another liberal, partisan
politician (and a crooked Chicago style politician at that). If there
were a comparison to be made between Obama and a former US President,
then a comparison to Jimmy Carter would be more apropos. A State
politician with little prior experience, elected on the heels of a
backlash to an unpopular president (Nixon, and Ford who pardoned
Nixon), weak on foreign policy, taking office in a downturn and
relying on heavy deficit domestic spending to buy his way to a second
term. And, like Carter, I predict that Obama too will be a one-termer,
followed by 12 years of republican presidency.

Amen, brother.

Amen, brother.


Jackoff is pushing for our real leaders, Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent, to
be the GOP's nominees. You know...leaders.
