    Ok, but I'm doubtful.

    Yes.

    Why?

    Why not? Bush put us on shaky ground in the international community. We aren't exactly steaming healthily ahead either. It is foolish to blow off the rest of the world. We should have self esteem and our own set of convictions, but we should treat the nations with whom we share the world with respect.

    Completely inexperienced and unprepared to deal with the current world situation.

    Respect, yes. Should the American President kiss and bow to the Saudi King? Should the American President worry about whether or not the French people like him and support him????

    NO.

    It's like prison: The more liked you are the more you get your fudge packed.

    He seems to be doing ok, but we'll see.

    ??? I agree??? I don't think Obama is losing sleep over the opinion of French people, though his demeanor better appeals to a larger range of people. There is a difference in treating people with respect and being incapacitated by touchy-feely-ness. As far as kissing and bowing to the Saudi king, I don't know the custom or what Obama has done, but they are an ally, aren't they? I remember seeing video of Bush with some Middle East folks and he looked pretty foolish. Has Obama continued that trend?

    This is an example of you trying to characterize one's answers and thinking as a part of your question. Ask an honest question and you will get an honest answer.

    I give you answers and responses by the ton, you just won't accept them and then cry that it's my "fear of actual principles" rather than my rejection of your principles.

    I love him because he won't let you get away with your propaganda style comments. You'd make a good writer for the North Koreans.

    He's made it clear that Obama hasn't spent more than Bush yet. You have to make projections into the future to make this claim.

    you are basically advocating cowardice.

    there is no country on earth that foes not fear and respect the power of the US. that is all that matters.

    or perhaps you are saying that resistance to terrorism creates terrorism, so we should not resist?

    nothing negative comes of out a poor image overseas, which doesnt exist anyways. what exactly do you think we need a happy image for? so people will trade with us? they are already desperate to trade with us, because it makes them rich.

    you are mindlessy repeating another thing that has no reas significance. it simply doesnt matter. there are no negative consequences if foreign idiots do not like us.

    russia is basically run by crazy gangsters at this point. does anyone in the international community care? no. saddam was a murdering tyrant, did anyone besides the US care? nope. france was so happy with saddam that they did all kinda of huge business with him. nobody cares about this "national image" or whatever. it isnt important. there are no actual effects if the world community hates you.

    but the fact is the wold community loves us, except for some vocal lunatics. i have heard their complaints: "the US is a tyrant, more frightening to the world community that iraq". these folks are idiots and you should ignore them.

    like barack obama says, the US is still the best country in the world. everyone knows that.

    try to keep up with the news:

    "The Obama administration fell in line with the Bush administration Thursday when it urged a federal judge to set aside a ruling in a closely watched spy case weighing whether a U.S. president may bypass Congress and establish a program of eavesdropping on Americans without warrants. In a filing in San Francisco federal court, President Barack Obama adopted the same position as his predecessor."

    you probably should just forget it instead of continuing to talk about it. we all know how you operate. you are just reminding everyone and embarrassing yourself.

    i told you already i am happy you have a new friend.

    thanks, i am a good writer.

    i bought two yachts on my credit card today. but i havent spent the money yet, it is still in my bank account! i would have to make a crazy projection to figure out that i am actually spending like a madman.
