America Is On The Verge Of Losing Its Place In The World As No. 1--Thank You Obama (healthcare, Reid)

[lilyflower3191981]

American presidents have been the scapegoat for domestic and foreign problems/issues. This is nothing new.

[ericsami]

what a useless article as if GDP determines which country is a better place to live.

There is notion called GDP per capital that is far more important.

besides you can generate GDP by simply creating highway and destroying them (china has literately created cities to generate GDP).

And This is all to assume China's economic growth is necessarily bad for us.

For every complicated issue (world affairs) there is usually a simple answer and usually that answer is wrong.

Obviously, the state of the world has always been too complicated for Pubs to comprehend. President Obama has it covered though, so best to leave these matters to his capable hands.

Still running on its all bushes fault.....Bush was bad, obama, is more then worse. Educate yourself and go through this Here are 826 well sourced examples of Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, waste, etc. | Dan from Squirrel Hill's Blog

Obama Derangement Syndrome

If nothing comes out of this thread but that "Syndrome" which is of value no matter what name is put in it, then we have a winner. I like that !!! It will become an understandable term and used often I predict.

Priceless

Barack is an unaccomplished fool. He isn't qualified to shine GW Bush's shoes.

So the link you posted is protecting the "dear leader?" Interesting.

If you think anyone who doesn't agree with you is part of this conspiracy that is just sad.

That, and the fact that the rest of the world did not stand still.....

I mean, who would have thought that the rest of civilization would advance and prosper.

BS. It happened when in 1967 the British Sterling was dropped as the worlds reserve currency, and the dollar was made the worlds currency.

That placed all the worlds debt, squarely on the backs of the American people, when Nixon declared us all Keynesian's, by dropping the gold standard.


The hidden tax, inflation.
The reason things cost more today than they did in the 1950's and 1960's, is inflation of the dollar, to pay the worlds debt.
Because of the inflation rates on the dollar, the rest of the world is also locked into our debt. They want out.

Remember "The Marshall Plan"? It is coming back to bite us.
