Obama's "hesitancy" is nothing more than indecisiveness. It is an indication of his systemic inability for leadership. By saying that he has not made a decision is, in effect, saying that the status quo is his decision. If this is the case, then he is deliberately misleading the American public. So we either have a totally insipid president, or a very deceitful president...

Just because aliens aren't mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean that there aren't any...The book is too small for God to include everything he has done...besides, it is specifically addressed to this world, and not to any others...so if there are aliens, then they probably have a similar set of instructions for living that does not mention us...

AU Waterproof phones are awesome...they need to go back to the waterproof phones that were also shock resistant when dropped. Still have one from 5 years ago, but I am told that new batteries for this model will soon become unavailable. Don't sell the 12 MPX to the J-cops...they will start getting better up skirt shots...

Not making a decision is called indecision. So we have a president who can't make a decision. Not my words, Obama's words...

Japanese television had more details about the boy having his fall broken by an antenna, laundry clothes, and a roof before hitting the ground. He then walked back up to his apartment. Too many of these accidents in Japan. Definitely need to implement safety into these balconies. I think the property owners are responsible for the safe design of their buildings, and parents are responsible for properly supervising their children and for adding additional safety measures like garden netting to keep the kids from going over the side.

Japan, as a sovereign nation, needs to act in it's own best interest. If complying with Obama's request is in Japan's best interest, then good, if not, then Japan should continue to purchase oil where it can at the best price. I would say at this point, Iran should offer incentives to Japan for continued business by lowering the price of oil.
