He's a politician, is there any politician with an honest bone? Reagan lied, Bush lied, Clinton Lied, Bush lied, Obama lies. Do you see a trend?

Ah yes Pravda, if you like Pravda opinion pieces you should read "Bush: Why don’t you shut up?"

Quoting from extremely anti-American website, good on ya.
Beside Obama didn't turn the US in socialist state, the nationalization of the banks(key part of a socialist nation) was done by the previous President.
"Since Obama signed the $780 billion stimulus bill in January, the economy has shed 2 million jobs" "This is deplorable."
I agree, he should have learnt from the billions that Republicans wasted in stimulus/bailout money, that throwing money at the problem wouldn't work. It seems that neither Republicans or Democrats have any actual idea of how to fix the problem.

I am sure that Chechnya is happy to be under the Russian Boot.
How much has their production increased? http://peakwatch.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/21/russiatiredspigot.gif
In fact many don't believe Russia can much past 9.9 million barrels per day (bpd). The oil well a day that is drilled is replacing an old oil well that no longer produces.
Considering that Canada(which has one of the biggest oil reserves - see tar sands) and Mexico are the #1 and #3 suppliers of oil for "Amerika". I am sure that "Amerika" can still get oil from non-domestic sources.
I see, Georgia is only country that is complaining about Russian interference, what about Estonia and the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn, Ukrainia and the stopage of LNG, Romania and Moldova - riots, Lithuania - Rolandas Paksas scandal and I am sure I am missing a few. What goes outside of Russian borders, well.... should be none of Russia's business.
None the less, whatever America did or didn't do in no way ok's what Russia is doing.

Russia has a lot of LNG fields but it's crude oil fields are becoming depleted, hence it's interference with the internal affairs of it's surrounding neighbors(who have bigger crude oil reserves) and the appearance of Russia reverting back to it's cold war style leadership. As well Russia's influence is really only regional, as Europe is really the area dependent on Russian LNG.
Just because you don't seem to like America or least it's foriegn policy, are you really going to give Russia a walk for the crap it has being pulling on it's own people(suppression of the opposition, etc.) and interfering with and bullying it's neighbors.

Why expect anything else from Japan, I mean it has to fit in with it's neighbors. China is beefing up it's military presence in Spratly islands, especially after the Philipines passed laws claiming some of the Islands in March that China wants and the run-ins with the US navy. Korea built a cannon/artillery type thing on Dokdo. North Korea tests missiles almost every other week now. Why shouldn't Japan join all the fun(if you can call it that).
Besides if Japan doesn't do anything it will have the same thing happen, that happened to the Phillipines and Mischief Reef(the Chinese navy essential stole it) and Vietnam and the Spratly islands(again the Chinese navy essential stole them).

MJ paid millions in hush money to avoid having to go to court. Why pay millions if your not guilty, especially in the case of child molesting. No matter what his accomplishment were, he was still a child molester and therefore not worthy of praise.

Even if the Japanese crime rate is under reported, which may very well be, the crime rate was mostly under reported for a very long time. That would mean that the statistical data Koichi Hamai used could still validly show a downturn in crime because the information is standardized in it's under reporting. I don't find it that hard to beleive, where I live the crime rate has been going down but they seems to be a steady increase in the society is going to hell in hand basket crowd, which is fully to blame on sensationalized news reporting.

To each their own, I suppose but he is a Ph.D. candidate researching otaku at the University of Tokyo, really? So sometime in the near future there will be someone that is actually able to say I have a Ph. D. in Otaku, yikes.

America had a civil war and no foreign country interfered, what would have happened if a foreign country had interfered and helped the south or even American Indians? Iranians need to deal with this themselves, so they can feel proud when they win thier fight for freedom and it will show the average Muslim dosn't want Taliban/Al Qaeda sytle rule even when they are not being influenced by west.

There only US$43,190, which isn't exactly cheap but not the most expense thing either. Lately, actually only this year I've noticed a lot more people riding three wheeled bikes, which you would think would take all the thrill out of riding a bike.

Atleast in Canada and the States it's usually refered to murder-sucide, double-murder usually refers to the killing of two people, just as a triple-homicide refers to the killing of three people.

Equally ironic and hypocritical is supposed "fiscal conversatives" like Ronald Regan using Air Force to fly to California to chop wood. Is it any wonder that all recent presidents(excluding Clinton) have each doubled the National debt.

"People outside China may cry/curse, makes no difference to Dragon power."
"after a public outcry at home and abroad."
Apparently people inside China may cry/curse and it makes no difference.

I have seen alot of people saying that people believe/are saying Obama is God or the messiah but I have yet to actually see someone say that Obama is God, strange.
The nice thing about the media is, if you don't like what they are saying don't read/listen/watch them, it's that easy.
