"meetings with the leaders of the world's leading economic powers"
But but but...I thought this was just a vacation so he could neglect his duties as POTUS? Who knew?
Medvedev. Putin's protege. Let's see...picture with me a tough negotation between Palin and Medvedev on a foreign policy sticking point. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah...she's soooooooooo qualified to be POTUS.
So Obama there to brag or lecture others about our 9% unemployment, 1.7 TRILLION dollar deficit (as far as the eye can see), nearly 15 TRILLION dollars in debt, 1.8% yearly growth, sky rocketing food and fuel prices, declining dollar, new Libyan war effort, ...???
I cannot for one minute believe that any of these other leaders considers what this buffoon has to say seriously. Economically Obama has ben an UNMITIGATED DISASTER for the USA. He's selling socialism while socialism has bankrupted half of Europe. The nightmare must end in 2012 or the country is toast.
This dude saves the world almost as much as Will Smith.
In fact, they have the same weird ears! Maybe, that's their secret.
Go win another Nobel Prize for either killing OBL or saving the global economy.
WHY are we even talking to the French. We had to bail their country out from German occupation and rule twice. They didn't even put up a fight in WWII. We werent' allowed to fly over their country to get to Gahdafi we had to fly around and do an in flight refuel to get their. Then they didn't want to have anything to do with the Iraq war. So why are we talking to these cowards. Let them mire up in their own conceit. We should have nothing to do with them..... period.
must admit one thing the president has nice ties...
Us knowledge of other countries should put you about 35th out of 25, France is a key part of the european structure, whether you realize it, like it or not.
As for making fun of pres. obama, thats your right wing-lobbiest opinion and I highly doubt your an educated middle class citizen.
Obama, make sure dollar is strong...economy needs strong dollar...not weak...o.k, Focus on Energy, Oil-independence, and fuel-efficiency....good luck, buddy...
