President Obama Exercises Diplomacy, Helps Avert Mess (Again)

I believe this will be one of his first miracles on his way to becoming a Saint !

I think I am going to puke.
A true leader, you people are sickos.
He is a liar.
You people drink too much Kool aid.
Damn.

Thank you again Jake for some honest reporting. Please don't veer from reporting with integrity. Ignore the ignorant comments. It would appear to us that it clearly are those who know nothing, don't read are the truly ignorant of the past.

Keep up the good reporting Jake - whatever it is - . We have now totally placed CNN in the Fox column! GOP trash - manipulation.

Jake,

Thank you for sharing these monumental moments of your trip to Europe and the Middle East with us.

Obama is the man. Twice, from G-20 to
Turkey, our president has helped broker mutual respect and collegiality; first between Hu and Sarkosy, now Gul and Rasmussen.

Obama is proving he is a steward of true leadership capabilities. It is an amazing time. We are so blessed to have him as our leader. AMAZING simply AMAZING.

What a leader, a gentleman and a scholar...YES HE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to one of you that talked about jobs leaving America.
The Unions have destroyed large companies in America and the governement and their excessive taxes on business's have run companies out of America. A business in the business to make money so I surely can't blame them for moving out of the country.
Unions shoudl be abolished and the government needs to quick with the tax hikes on business's. They can't survive.

The government "can't" make a company stay in America. What gave you that idea ? Force companies to stay in America ?
We are not a communist country YET.

Want be long though now that we have a dictator in the white house that will now control our every move.
Where we live, what we eat, what we drive, what we eat, how we raise our children, how we dress, etc. etc.

A president that goes around the world trashing American.

The man is a traitor. He needs to resign. He has no clue. Impeach him now.
TREASON !

How shameful.

And how shameful for people to worship this man like he was a God.

In recent decades I begin to notice that there are fewer and fewer industry in United States today, this may be a cause that many Americans are compelled to turn to service sector to search for a job, naturally Wall Street has become their top choice because of the very attractive remuneration, naturally many have thus become victims with the fall of the finance sector. If some one is to blame for this disaster, I think the US administration should be hold accountable for it because she counts on the Wall Street too much to survive her huge population, secondly she was derelict of duty by giving the Wall Street a free hand to handle their own business which is the main cause for the crashing of the finance sectors. thirdly she did not diversify the job natures by converging too much on the finance sector. Sometimes intervention from the state is necessary, her position is akin to the duty of parents of a family who are saddled with the onus to safeguard the livelihood of the entire family, that is why there got to be a leader in whatever type of organization or community to take on the helm. It makes no sense if the leader of a nation knows only how to make recalcitrant adversaries amenable to him. isn't it?

Decent American..You are abosolutely right in your post.

The left wingers and the main stream media have become the most vile people I could have ever imagined.

When they open their mouths what is left of their brians fly out.

What you said in your post is typical of a socialist view.

America is an equal opportunity country. We already have in place programs if you want an education you can have one. You can go to college if you want. You can further your education if you want. You can go to a trade school if you want. IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIUAL.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't MAKE THEM DRINK.
Many of the people in this country choose to be poor, they choose not to achieve a higher education. They choose welfare. They do not want to work. They chose the life that they are living.
No one is twisting their arm and making them steal, do drugs and kill folks.
If you sow crap you will reap crap.
If you sow corn you will reap corn.
No one said live was easy. You have to work at bettering yourself. I fyou do not desire to do so then no one can make you.
It is not anyones responsibiltiy in this country to pay other people's mortgages/Rent or buy their food or clothing or provide them with a car.
No ones tells these young girls to go out and get pregnant when they are 14, 15, 16 and so on and have children that they cannot take care of.
This country has lost all of its morals.
Our government is out of control and do not care what they are doing to the real working people of this country.
All they care about is getting re-elected so they can enrich themselves.
Obama on the other hand does not mind spreading the wealth around to all the losers who have nothing AND HAVE US PAY FOR IT.
What kind of crap is that. If this kind of stuff continues and th spending keeps on and on the honest hard workign people of this country are going to revolt like something you have never seen before.
With the way things are going now, why should any of us get up everyday and go to work when you have a president that will give you whatever you want for nothing and is going to take your hard earned dollars and give it to a lowlife.
Oh and there is more...All these companies that all going to be run by the government now. What is up with
that. Government Motor Company. Lol
What a joke.
We are going to be forced to BUY GREEN CARS or pay out the ying yang if we drive a car that runs on gas by being taxed to death when we go to renew our car tags.
We are going to pay out the ying yang through Cap and trade to burn lights or keep our homes warm or cool.
We are being told what we can and can't eat.
We will be told what kind of Dr.s we can go to and what kind of health care we can get.
I don't know about you but all this crap is like communism to me.
The government is taking over everything we do in life and taxing the crap out of us and everything that it can get it hands on. People who smoke just got it. That is there right but looks like they will have to pay out the ying yang now if they want to continue to smoke. Is that right that a gorup of people that smoke are singled oout and penalized by takign the crap out of the very product they buy.
How bought we just tax the crap out of beer drinkers and liquor drinkers. Now those fat cats in Washington would not like that because as they drink one another under the table every night and drown their brains so they can return to capital hill and pass some more outragious spending BS while still hungover it would cost them out of their pockets for their drunken habit.
I thought I had a right to persuit of happiness. This kind of BS does not make me happy.It saddens me.
The president does not care. It does not affect him. He is rich.
What about the common folks.
This country is going down hill fast.
I hope there is a way we as a whole can ban together and stop this crap in its tracks.
The leaders of this country are low life idiots. They all need to be voted out of office next 2 times around and beyond.
For the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country !!

It seems that simplistic thought tend to occur among those believe Mr Bush or Mr Obama may be nefarious politicians. These two men have differing views re: the types of policies that benefit individuals and the public at large. Mr Bush had 8 years in which to achieve his goals. If he did not do so, that reflects his inability to manage successfully himself and his administration during various periods of his presidency. My impression is that he held typical conservative views and some views that were even idealistic from any viewpoint----such as his commitment to AIDS victims in Africa. His conservative views were usually reflected in his domestic policies, where he very much continued the Reagan policies of social welfare for the rich and "the Devil may take the hindmost" for the rest of us. Such policies eventually led to the economic decline experienced during the past year. These policies encouraged the capitalists and their administrative managers (a cadre that wanted to enrich themselves) to close factories in the United States and ship jobs abroad, thus decreasing the incomes of those employed as workers. American laws were not changed in order to encourage or force American companies to keep producing in the United States, and thus keeping jobs within this country.

So far, the Obama administration has not adequately addressed the issue of keeping industrial jobs within the United States. It must do this if this country is to continue to keep employed the great number of our citizens with poor education, poor job and social skills, and poor prospects for employment. We must also have jobs for workers wih good working skills, adequate education, and desire to advance. People must have income if they are to have hope or the drive to obtain their needs in a legitimate manner. The Obama administration seems to be composed of persons with a greater sense of concern for the common man and his needs for employment. It is taking steps that will benefit some and may be hoping that others will eventually be employed and will become more able to provide for their own needs. The president himself seems to have his heart in the right place and the will to seek changes which will benefit the working and the middle classes. He seems to recognize that this will not be an easy task, as conservative Democrats and most Republican members of the Congress simply lack the imagination and the desire to significantly alter the social system of this country so that all citizens are treated more equally.

Our entire political system is corrupt.
All politicians, Black white green red purple. It matters not.
They are all liars.
Yes we need Term Limits and it congress want pass term limits on themselves then WE THE PEOPLE CAN. Vote all incubents out of office in 2010 and 2012.
That will send a message to Washington.
All the lobbiest need to be booted out to sea. They do nothing but harm this country.
Bring morals back to our government.
We the people will never know the real truth about the bank bailouts and AIG and all the rest because it is one big coverup. The very people running our government NOW know what went own but they are withholding the truth to the American people. They are all crooks with a capital C.

One of the most vile things I heard while on vacation in Northern California was a group trying to get the San Francisco sewage plant re-named after George W. Bush.

I'm sure they thought it was a form of dissent and that they were being "decent" Americans too.

I'm sure you would beg to differ, but you're not any different.

What did George W. Bush do about the North Korean Problem, other than call N. Korea the [Axis Of Evil] and take...

North Korea off the [[Terrorist List]]..

Last Year !!!

Note: Tell Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity to Run for President and Vice President...

I'm tired of hearing about, what the 2 Fat Boys Rush and Sean are saying !!

All New US President's are challenged and Obama is no Different and Joe Biden said [[Last Year]] that he would be Tested, Waaaay before the Fat Boys Rush and Sean mentioned it.

This challenge would've Occured if John McCain and Palin ..Uggg

Were President & Vice President..OK
-------------

Rush & Sean would not Carry a Damn State.

Those 2 Nin Com Poops would also Start the First Nuclear World War, if they were President & Vice President.

Tell the Republicans considering a Run at the Presidency, Step aside and have Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity Run as President & Vice President...

It would be a Laugh Riot !!!

Ok...

Bring Back the Prestigious Years of ...

[Bush-Cheney 8 Years] ?

Who Amassed Over [15 Trillion Dollars] in Debt, to the Largest [Communist-Socialist Country] on the Planet [China], who Buy Up Our Debts and Finance our 2 Wars in the Middle East, at the Cost of [20 Billion Dollar Per Month with Interest], for the Past 6 Years and Counting....

The Glorious Bush-Cheney Years of Never, Ever Vetoing a Single Spending Bill, Crossing his Desk in [8 Years]...

Glorious Years..Indeed.

Bring his Tough Talking, Big Spending A!! back as President of the USA once more... Ha !!

Or the [Clinton-Gore 8 Years] with At Least President Clinton & Vice President Gore Believed in [Pay as You Go and left this Nation with a Surplus, an Yes I Omit, Monica Lewinsky, the Entire Nation has already and the Clinton's are still on the Political Scene.

Or The Prestigious [Nixon Years]

Or Ronald W. Reagan [8 Years Of De-Regulation] which has Lead to the Current, Wall Street, Housing and the Banking Crisis, we have Today.

Capitalism has Failed...Period

Or the [Ford Years]

Or The [Carter Years]

You Mother Lovers... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!

Capitalism has [[Failed]] Period

i am a proud American, and as such, we have freedom of speech. That is, until someoen like Obama takes that away from us. He has already started doing it, taking away our liberties.

And if you call "treason" someone who denegrates a President, than you have accused Sean Penn, Olberman, Maddow, Matthews, David Letterman, Cher, Madonna, and pretty much every other lib of treason when they called Bush every insult in the book.

Either your rules apply to all presidents, or none at all.

which is it?

I'm kind of confused why your source deems Turkey a "small" country. It's really not, both size-wize and economy-wise. It's the 17th biggest economy in the world, and frankly it's one of the most strategically important countries, as it has strong ties to both Israel and the US on one hand and Iran and Syria on the other. (Note: I'm not Turkish at all, I don't have any vested interest in this. But Turkey is a lot more important than most people realize.)

"You fools can continue to worship Obama like some kind of God if you want but I prefer to stick to my creator."

Mary touts her Godliness and morality while trashing others.. LOL

(Matthew 5:22) - "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

So that means you will be also criticizing all the people on this board who constantly trash Bush and who did so for the past eight years? I won't be holding my breath. Posted by: Bob | Apr 5, 2009 12:07:07 AM
*******************************

It's good you are not going to hold your breath, because I have and I will. The poster I responded to had the gall to call himself a "decentAmerican" while totally trashing the President. Nothing decent about it or your assumptions.

Now if he had managed to convince the other 26 countries to see it Turkey's way I'd be impressed. That would be superior negotiation skills.

Not the case here. He gave Turkey some face time and took credit for a done deal.

Nothing to see here folks.

One commented that if our politicians had faith in a God they would not be corrupt and Obama and the rest of them are evil. I think the Republicans who depend upon the moral right, and I am not being negaive about those who are religious; the evil that have lately been in power and did their greediest best to destroy us for some cash are those who claim strong religious beliefs. They use their base but do nothing for them since they are here to serve the wealthy. So how is Obama evil while those who are now social conservatives for the social conservative vote are still the same conservatives who serve only the very small percentage of the wealthy and themselves. Obama is so evil and in disguise for so many years working to serve the less fortunate in his community and wants to spread evil education and opportunity and all the evil improvements from science and maintenance.

President Obama says someone is an outstanding candidate for a position? What is his track record again on picking his own candidates for cabinet, treasury, etc.? That's what I thought.

President Obama=President Dumbass=President Can't speak without a teleprompte cause he doesn't even know the nomenclature of the subjects he babbles about.
