It can be worse than Japan's experience of the 90's if Obama win in 2012. Obamanomic means spread the wealth a little as his own word. Not much of the economics, but rather liberal globalization agenda to strengthen his base will drive America into the age of "deficit stupid". I hope America will wake up and reverse this trend that Japan had trodden.

Remember "Economics,stupid", now under Obama's policy; it is "Deficits, idiots". Stimulus to nowhere, oh yes, greater debts for future generation. May be Obama should ask China to mail out the checks directly to all recipients in his spending programs. It saves the spending processing fees and reducing the deficit, right? If the economists embrace the "job saved" concept, we wouldn't have the world economy today. The bottom line is to spread the wealth a little! Let's move money through taxing system from one group to their supporters. How to we call this economic policy? I smell the globalization of collective consciousness nonsense at work here. Watch out folks....

When Obama's need to make hard decision; he blames Bush instead. The white house knows how to stage the sound bites, but to stage the terrain in Afghanistan is very much in doubt. Initially, Biden wanted to divide Iraq into three; and now he wants to divide the war in Afghanistan between Al Queda and Taliban? What is he going to divide next, himself? Brilliant.

Most people would agree that Iran is a state sponsored terrorism. You harvest what you sow. Cain slayed Abel! Mohamed marched with the sword to proclaim the birth of Islam. There are more Muslims in the world today. What a grand plan for peace on earth. Does humanity still be able to preserve the essence of reasoning and expression in the next century? History has shown such abuses by all religions from all sides. Judge them not by their words, but by their deeds. PEACE.

China and Russia were not there when Obama revealed the secret Iranian nuclear facility. He hope that Iran would agree for the inspection, or Obama might be in trouble. Iran will play the delay tactic as usual. The end justifies the means folk, including lying and cheating..etc. Wait and see what Iran is wishing for, and the world will scramble without any solution. The Chinese and Russian are for their interests, and the U.N.is a joke. Islam has a goal for the world. WAKE UP and be reasonable, and if you do not mind to live in the middle age again; I have no more words.

May be soon N. Korean and communist China will abandon their nukes just to make some daydreamers happy. The know how of nuke technology enable certain country to mount nuclear warhead at any given time. It is nice diplomatic words, but without substance. It is a "plastic" concept same the U.N. body. The U.N is becoming a joke, a gathering of many shameless dictators; if you will. It needs a reform with clear agenda and principle to follow through. It needed to be audited and dismember unqualified states from tarnishing its image. Hey, I am a dreamer too of different kind.

Under Obama, the Dictators gone wild; and there is no surprise of the appeasement foreign policy of his administration. Hail to Hugo Chavez, Putin, Fidel and Raoul Castro, Amedenijah of Iran, Kim Jung IL....... America is starting to loose his credibility and the values of its founding fathers. Step by step, Obama is paying back his due to his liberal Kumbaya supporters. Obama is no match for Putin (Obama(0), Putin(1)) and more to come. Afghanistan, Japan pull out .... when?

For being educated in law profession and as President, allegedly speaking it was stupid for Obama to say without knowing the fact that police acting stupidly. The happy beer hour is all about covering up Obama's mistake, and if any lesson can be learned; Obama must be the person and the student. He apologizes for everything, except being humble to say it upon his own mistake. This case is more about "the arrogant of black elite". Neither beer nor holy water will wash away these stupidities. It takes a real man, who know how to apologize. What a shame.

There are bad cops out there, but this case is about "the arrogant of black elite" in the U.S. For not knowing the fact and as a lawyer in his profession, allegedly speaking Obama was so stupid to say that cops acting stupidly. Of course, without any shame Obama is now acknowledge that he should calibrate for better words, and both men are overreacted and invite them to wash down with beers in the white house. Cops across the U.S demanded the "apology"; for Obama went around the world to apologize about America, but of course he could not apologize on his own action. SHAME.

Soviet Union did not work, so does America Union or Obamaunion. The social security is running dry, medicare and medicaid are under fund; and now more trillions in social medicine in the name of good intention that might not work? Come on, your great-great-great grand children are going to pay for all these? We have to fix the problems and it will not be solved by using scaring tactic to gain a short term benefit. Obama's inner circle has a clear liberal agenda transforming America into a historical failure of European Socialism. I did not find this kind of policy anywhere in the birth of this nation. We all pay for their egos.

America is now running by a bunch of liberal lawyers, including Obama. They believe in talking, negotiating, and even appeasement to any crisis. These are the "sophist" who used words to get around without core of principle. It is time for Japan to stop dreaming, and start building a strong nuclear deterrence for peaceful purpose and self defense against any future treats. How about a seat on the permanent security council?

No international observers during the election were allowed, and now Iran kicks out the press as well. It was set up from the beginning, even the dear supreme leader said it was divine will! Well these are the things Iran wants to export, I hope the world would not buy them. Still many folks out there are willing to ignore the dictatorships across the world. They have no principle to stand on no clue how to deal with it, only wishing upon the stars....It is so called liberalism of 21th century.

If someone is looking for sugar coating, I guess Obama's speech is fine. On how to change the current situation, I suggest you should study Koran carefully to understand the real intent of Islam, and do not blow up the Buddha statue in Afghanistan again. Here is one idea for the starter: let all major religions come together brain storming the real issue of human value. Let the U.N enforces its core principle without compromise... We are not taking about war, but an academic critic for the good vibration of brain

Lawyers would use any languages to win their cases. America is now run by a bunch of liberal lawyers, and Obama is the one. Words alone are cheap if no deeds to show for it. The fundamental issues of human right , freedom of expression including religions are nowhere to be found in most Muslim nations. Muslims should start to show respect for others, for they will be respected. Israel and Palestine must co-exist; so does Islam and Infidels. One world under the banner of Islam will never exist. Obama's words are like sugar to the ignorance addict.

Pelosi puts her politics and personal agenda above the country. She was not honest in the first place, and now as her back is against the wall; she attacks. She lied and well calculated to advance her left wing agenda. Remember Bill Clinton on the meaning of "is". They have no shame. The law of Karma will apply to her, for she will be judged.

A shameful conclusion with a liberal agenda in nature. Please read the Koran and try to see the real intent of Islam. Economic problems are everywhere, but the Buddhists, Hindus... naming a few; do not plot against the West. What happen to the mighty petrol money for the rest of Islamic world? Cultural, Economics, and Education (try science) are some of the factors of discontents among Muslims all over the world. Japan, China, and now India has worked hard for the progress toward modernity. Any lesson here, anyone?

So far, Obama's speeches can be summarized to three contents: 1. Bush was wrong (including everything related to Bush). 2. America was wrong (even arrogant!), and he is sorry for it to the world. 3. Hardship and tough things ahead in the future, but I am the One. Obama did not know that he pointed three fingers to himself in the first place. America is not perfect, but arrogant? I wonder if Obama is.

The DPRK should be kicked out from the U.N. I am dreaming, because U.N has lost its founding principle long ago. S.Kora and China should help to remove the dictatorship thus bring freedom to N.Korean people. I am dreaming again to count on the selfish and opportunistic communist China.
