Keep on playing the socialism/communism card. It’s pretty cool to see some people haven't got over irrational Cold War era fears. Also, if you knew anything about the political theory behind those two ideologies you would see how far we are from both of them. But I guess it’s true because Fox"News" says it, right? Where to begin...
His apology was half assed. He said he was sorry but ultimately did not accept responsibility for HIS words and instead blamed them on HER. That is not an apology. It’s a trick to fool people into thinking he apologized. I guess it worked on you though. When you apologize you take responsibility. He didn't. His apology means nothing when he blames the words on her.
Most of that national debt you talk about was from Bush. Sorry to break it to you. The confidence in the dollar was eroded by the massive global financial collapse. Not by Obama's policies. American financial institutions were largely to blame for the whole meltdown. That is what has shaken world confidence in the dollar. As far as your comments about the stimulus go, they are rather baseless. Things take TIME to work. You can't expect a great turn around in a few weeks, or in 3 or 4 months. It is a HUGE system and you need a large amount of time for things such as that to work their way into the flow of things. There is no such thing as instantaneous change, like the kind you seem to be expecting.
He didn't "snub Christianity and Judaism". I take it you are referring to his we are not a Christian nation comment and his stance on Israel. He is CORRECT oin both counts. Perhaps you need to brush up on your US History. This is not a Christian nation. This is a nation that was founded especially to be SEPARATE from all that kind of garbage. The founding fathers KNEW history and KNEW that when you mix religion and politics you will end up with a non-functioning, divided society. They LEARNED this by looking back at European history. He is also correct to take a much more hardline stance regarding Israel and their actions. They ahve to be willing to make some FAIR concessions.
NK is not doing this because it thinks we are weak. It is doing this to solidify the place of Kim's son so when he hands the country over to him his Generals won't use the new leader as an excuse to seize power. This is not due to Obama.
Just because Pravda thinks we are in descending into Marxism, and Pravda is a Russian paper, doesn’t mean a damn thing. That is a piss poor attempt at using logic. Russian was never "communist" or Marxist. It was something different that used aspects of Marxist ideology but never really took it all the way and combined it with other similar types of political thought. Your statement there doesn't help your case.
