LOL @ cons thinking being green is a bad thing! Oh thats right! God is getting ready for armageddon against the evil godless liberals and all the good evangelicals like Sanford, ensign , vitter ,rush and newt will be heading up to heaven and bid this 6000 year old earth goodbye! Why treat the earth well now? I had to remember how you people think. My bad.

will someone Please identify something concrete that came out OF the g8. Something that will happen within the next one to two years. I think the word productive is highly deceptive and mis-leading.

Great job again President Obama!

Your intelligent leadership and diplomatic approach towards the world has restored the world's trust and respect for America again.

We are now TRULY safe in a world where people talk to each other about issues instead of threatening to hurl bombs at each other. What a tremendous relief to have intelligence, honor, decency, and integrity in the White House.

We finally have a President we can be proud ot!

A recent Newsy.com video analyzed media coverage on the progress (or lack thereof) made on carbon emissions at the G8 summit. One cited international source, Xinhua News from China, had this to say about what it saw as a double standard:
“While being vague about targets for themselves, the G8 leaders took a tougher position against emerging economies.”

Obviously, China, along with India and Brazil, is one of the strongest emerging economies in the world, and has much to lose from tougher carbon restrictions.

What is becoming very evident from the blogs is the ability of Obama and the dems to cause division in our country with its citizens. All I hear is about the wealthy and the have nots. This is a country of equal opportunity. It just depends how hard you want to work to have it instead of feeling entitled and government handouts. Secondly, this administration, along with our AG's statements, will cause more damage to widening racial relations . Repairing the Obama damage after office will be like restoring New Oleans after Katrina....years and years!

Obama is right on. a President I can believe in. sorry so many can only mouth lies and provocative comments. always condemning and unhelpful. go to a Palin or Boehner web site so you can talk your nonsense among yourselves!

southercousin,

LOL. Completely absurd and empty talking points/fear-mongering. Please provide credible PROOF that President Obama or Secretary of State Clinton have apologized overseas, or it's more right-wing LIES.

Godspeed, President Obama. Many Americans and our global allies appreciate your diplomatic strength/intelligence.

Why is it wrong to apologize? If you offend someone, or wrong someone, it is appropriate to apologize... Or do you Conservative Americans not believe in being polite and having manners?

Terry – Texas

As a conservative here is what I would do.
Let AIG go into bankruptcy, GMC go into bankruptcy but instead we pumped 50 billion into GMC and they still went into Bankruptcy. Let all the people that bought a house they could not afford fail. Owning a house is not a right in this country. Drill for oil in Alaska and off the coast. become less foreign dependent search for more natural gas.

Let the free market work itself out as it always does. Get rid of all the illegals, now the uninsured is cut in half.
Quit talking about global warming crap. Democrats are not God. Get rid of the cap and trade idea since this will only eliminate more manufacturing jobs since they will be shipped overseas, as well as increase the cost of everything we eat, drink, wear, and watch. Get rid of the healthcare idea, since this is also not a right it is a benefit. I would reduce government spending by eliminating all the needless programs that we currently have. Hold parents accountable for raising and educating their children like all responsible adults do. Teach them that less government is the best way and you should not depend on them for your welfare like most of the people that want big government.. How is that for starters?

you see you guys are just wasting your energy trying so hard and failing always to discredit barack obama.he's destined to be great that was how he rose from a nobody to the first african american president,poll numbers just like before the election will always go down and up but guess what,victory is sure.amen.he is not perfect but he's a great man.what about you?

Why is Obama spending his time either campaigning or traveling abroad while his wife spending money to expensive clothes? How I wish my sister's husband and men I know that had lost heir jobs and still unemployed for close to a year will be able to lavish their family and their wives (travels and luxury) as the Obama's. My sister and our family friends had to borrow money from relatives and everywhere to keep food in their table and survive. ENOUGH! ENOUGH! Reality is poor Americans are hurting, depressed, hungry and homeless. OBAMA WHERE ARE THE PROMISES OF CHANGE! YOU'VE BEEN PRESIDENT FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND HAVE ALL THE TRILLIONS TO SPENT, WHERE IS THE WE "MUST" PASSED OR ELSE? THE EFFECT IS NOT REACHING TO POOR AMERICANS?

hey J.P. where is your birth certificate? how do we know you are a real american citizen? maybe you should go back to Europe (assuming you are caucasian) and get your real one so we know what nationality you really are.

We still want to hear BHO give up USD 1,00,000, and accept a pay cut to USD 3,00,000. Better yet, he should get what Bill Blintin was nettin'-2,00,000.

Do you republicans understand that you come off as racist, religious fundamental, war-loving, zombie minded fanatics?

Good quote on that BD Davis. Love it. A respect to Africa is a respect to everyone in the world.

repulicans are pathetic.

I agree with Terry. All the repugs can do is sit on their hands and whine like spoiled children. The only "alternatives" they present are ones which already failed under GW Bush. They love to slander their democratically-elected president. Patriots? More like traitors....

Terry from Texas,
Well said.
...and these conservatives always accuse the left of being hate mongers. Go figure.

B.H.,

Not that I condone the Cathloc churches wealth, but their wealth was built on voluntary donations, not a REQUIRED 10% of someones paycheck or selling you Jesus on TV so they could build a megachurch.

@ J.G. -

here's a tidbit for you....you know that green birth certificate the obamakins keep splashing up on the web? Well, that paper came out in 1985. How do I know that? I was stationed there, had a child there, he was one of the first to get the new "Green," cert. Prior to that, it was the old grey and white.....so, either that "green,' one's a forgery, a duplicate...or an outright lie. Since it doesn't say duplicate, and the hospital claimed it's real...well, then it's a lie. Additionally, he's never provided a vaulted copy....thus the pending lawsuits...

Why do you think he's rubbing up to Sotomayor? He needs a Czar on the Supreme Court ! The problem with you libs is you take whatever Obama says and convert it to gospel... So, your criticism of JP is more "Change and Hope," rhetoric; unfounded and unsubstantiated...
how'd he get into Pakistan in 1981? US citizens we'ren't allowed in Paki in 1981....and on his Occidental Foreign Student Aid form...he checked "non US citizen..." hmmm....I'd say he's got 'esplaining to do ....Lucy!

Fair is Fair,

Explain why Bush has never appologized for putting US protesters in "Free Speech ZOne" areas.

Now he is taking the Kool Aid to Africa...

I wake up everyday and thank God for our president. Not only is he a good man, but a smart one. Somone we're not accustomed to, since that idiot Bush was in office.
GEORGE W. BUSH = 7th Worst President In History.
Now what do the GOPers have to say? That's what I thought, nothing.

I'm so happy we have a president that we can trust, one who is thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate. We don't need someone like Bush who was playing with out lives, or rogues like Rowe, and bullies like Cheney.

Obama will be our president for 8 years. You can count on it. I have yet to hear what the Republicans have to say. They whine, but don't do anything. Their theory didn't work for 8 long years, and they're still trying to push that trash down our throats.

To all the GOPers for the last time-take a hike.

You know what most people who comment on this board either from the left or from the right I just like to you all are full of crap seriously Obama hasn't done anything and then you blame bush the dems have the house and obama been in office for 6 months no more excuses liberals

@southern cousin. You sound like a class act and well informed. FYI your beloved Bush is the one that led us into this economical mess and the GOP has no solutions on a fix. Thank goodness Obama is doing something even if you disagree with it. By the way, it won't hurt any of us to become more green and if you have children (god forbid), leaving a cleaner world for them is a good thing.

The apology tour??? You mean damage control tour. Bush/Cheney's bullying was what made fools of the U.S.

he understands in very personal terms.. liar

His African heritage makes Obama the intelligent man he is. Africa, beautiful name, beautiful people.

"What we wanted was exactly what we got, which is a statement of unity and strong condemnation about the appalling treatment of peaceful protesters." --------------------–

I am certain that the peaceful protesters that got there heads busted or worse really wanted a little more than a statement of "strong condemnation."

Maybe if we all hold our breaths they will stop building Nukes as well.
Liberal fools they don't care what we say! G8/United Nations are all bark, no bite nonsense.

J.P. – how NAIVE and uneducated are you? If you believe everything you hear then you SHOULD believe the truth (selective are we?). First off, he is going to Ghana, not Kenya. Secondly, you know full well he wasn't born in Kenya. His father was born in Kenya, a nation in Africa in case you are unfamiliar. The President was born in Hawaii, a state that is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that is comprised of a chain of islands formed by volcanoes.

If you're going to dislike the President, then dislike him for a real reason, not some fabricated lie as to where he was born. Dislike his foreign policies, dislike his domestic policies, dislike his ideas for healthcare reform, but for God's sake, don't perpetuate something that isn't true like he was born in Africa. Is it fair to ask you if you think that because his middle name is Hussein he is Muslim (a peaceful religion sans a few radicals, but then again, that's every religion)? Which then begs to question that you likely think that this means he is a terrorist? This, too, is a fabrication and false on EVERY level. But I find it funny that all too often those that perpetuate this forget that he is not too distantly related to Dick Cheney. Hm. Food for thought? No, don't think about food, that's an anecdote that implies....oh nevermind...

This guy is clueless.

I read many cheap shots from Conservatives, as usual. What is missing, also as usual, is any indication of what action a Conservative president would take that would be better? Why? Because they have no idea what should be done or what the Conservative position would be?

On the economy? You don't like the federal stimulus package. We now know that tax cuts on the rich will NOT result in an economic stimulus during bad times. They just put that extra money in a bank in the Carribbean. So WHAT do you recommend, Conservatives?

On global warming? How about denying the problem even exists? You think it is laughable to impose emissions limits for 2050, so in what year would YOU demand that cars meet more stringent emissions standards and that electrical power stations use greener power sources? 2010? 2020? When?

How about doing nothing and letting the free market work its wonders? That has worked nicely for us so far, hasn't it?

"What we wanted was exactly what we got, which is a statement of unity and strong condemnation about the appalling treatment of peaceful protesters."
________________________

Okay, Mr. Obama. Please explain why you didn't lead with a statement of strong condemnation about the appalling treatment of peaceful protesters when it first started?

Now that he accepted the decline of US influence in the G-8, offered the US taxpayer to subsidize China and India through cap & trade to combate a non-existant global warming threat, Obama jets off to Africa to make apologies on behalf of the United States.

Please Obama, STAY IN AFRICA.

What a -appalling sight- seeing Obama with the Pope in that "Gilded Palace". The place of obscene wealth and doing what for the people of Obamas next destination, Africa?

lolol....emissions will be reduced by the year 2050. Hey, way to go Barry.....you drive a hard bargain. All you greenies must be thrilled by his hard stance on emissions.....lol man, this guy gets funnier by the day.

In the words of Michael Jackson:

"Heal the world/Make it a better place/For you & for me & the entire human race"

Now that he has committed to the G-8 that he will destroy what is left of the US economy and cost the remainder of the workforce more in taxes and fees. He heads happily off to Ghana on the Obama/Clinton apology tour to make fools of our country there too. It is a liberal wet dream.
