From President Obama's inaugural speech: “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and nonbelievers.”
Works for me.
Sarge -
Being voted in as president justifies to the American people President Obama's being C-in-C. Your "challenge" is ineffectual - you're merely trolling again.
Molenir -
I don't know of this "nitwit" of which you speak, but we in the US military are proud to have President Obama at the helm for the next seven years. Thanks for voting him in, my fellow Americans!

"Jihad" applies only to Muslims; President Obama is a Christian America, duly elected by a vast majority of Americans. I'm certainly glad he's my C-in-C for the next seven years.

This stupid "law" is a picture perfect example of the inarguable need for more (that's right, MORE) federal government over state government. When Arizona actually passes a law that drips Nazism ("Show me your papers!") like this one, it's time for the Americans to slam on the brakes, which I look forward to being done soon.
100% agreement.

Gladly. The points posted by the right-wingers here are easily refuted and defeated, everything from Obama's being a "socialist" to his not being a "true" American and everything in between. Yet, in the face of having your arguments so easily crushed, you continue to hate Obama irrationally, never making the slightest attempt to consider the truthful statements you're hearing and reading from the left. It's like you insist that two plus two equals five, even after you've been proven wrong time and time again. Therefore, since the facts present no basis for your hatred of Obama, there must be another reason; the only one left is racism.

The fact that Palin could only rally between 5-10K people, from a city the size of Boston, to her speech, is indicative of her lack of popularity. If she gets the 2012 Republican nomination, Obama will trounce her.

I notice you didn't take my bet; doesn't sound like you have much confidence in winning it.
We sure do - on base. But since your buddy bush tanked the US economy, euros are worth more than dollars.
Moderator: Stay on topic please. Focus your comments on what is in the story, not at each other.

50 euros says the Democrats will keep their majority in both the House and Senate in November 2010 and another 100 euros says Obama will win a comfortable second term as President of the United States of America in 2012.

OK, so I shall. Ahmedinejad is berating our President as per the article and you're agreeing with him. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine an "American" siding with an Islamic dictator over our own duly-elected President of the United States, but you managed to pull it off.
Disgusting.
Moderator: Readers are allowed to express a stance without having to be subjected to your "disgust." Please keep that in mind and be more tolerant of other views.

No, it's disgusting and un-American how determined conservatives are to stifle freedom of speech, unless of course your speech is the "right" speech. But thankfully, conservatives are also easy to defeat, so no problem.

I would expect Obama to stand by his words, if he'd made the speech sailwind quoted. Bush clearly did not.

But but but, wasn't it the right-wingnuts crowd who swore that Palin's (later aborted) governorship made her MORE qualified than Obama to be POTUS? Now what was it they called it...? Oh yeah! "Executive experience". But NOW, it's a "mere governorship".
Molenir and his ilk simply want to hate Obama. It's a damn good thing America doesn't take the same view.

Sounds like your issues are more with Japan than the US. Ask the Japanese government for answers to that.
Nope, resounding success on my part; I've addressed your questions as you posed them. Sorry if you don't like the factual answers I've provided.
I proudly pay it knowing my children will never want for health care. Sorry if you feel screwed by the Japanese system; refer to my above statement.

While forcing teachers to "teach to the test" instead of teaching kids what they need to know; that's a bad thing.

LOL! So "amusing" that you keep bitching about Americans winning this debate and those of your ilk losing?

So you drive only on toll roads/bridges, but never a taxpayer-funded road, huh? Suuure...
Yet...
You mean the kind that still has to conform to... wait for it... government standards? Yep, I've heard of 'em.
It matters because unless you're independently wealthy, you DO have to rely on others to provide you with employment. So much for your ridiculous "I do not receive assistance from anyone for anything out there" statement.
Unless you're fighting off an enemy invading force; that's where my colleagues and I step in, to make sure big, strong, tough guys like you don't get killed. You're welcome. Next!

Really? You lay down all the roads to get wherever you need to go? You have your own private hospital, your own private school, and you're independently wealthy? You have your own trained, equipped private military to protect you?
Checking... nah, you don't.
