OBAMA doesn't want to keep the nucular program out of the hands of the Terriost. This Anti-Christ is making deals with the Devil's deciples right and left to destroy America. WAKE UP AMERICANS THIS MAN IS PURE EVIL.
Yes and don't get involved with territorial disputes between China and Taiwan. Let them fight it out. Not worth nuclear exchange over.
With Russia on board China will follow knowing they won't be able to purchase uranium from Russia and North Korea will follow.
Don't look for nice, from China.
i am so proud to have such an intelligent president. he will go down in history as being one of the best. thank god for barack obama. he has made the world look at us with new respect. cowboy bush tainted america for eight years and our president obama has built a better relationship with world leaders in his first year. it is very nice to be respected again.
Geoarge H.W Bush was president then. Thanks to trade lobby interests the mass murder of the thousands fof freedom seeking Students was buried and forgotten in 3 weeks.
Nothing on Earth will stop them from taking over the World someday,and we in our greed are helping them.
Did Obama bow to him and offer more from our side than we will get from them. Of course that's the Obama way.
