Oh yes I do agree with you and it all the more infuriates me to hear their brethren at home belittle their dedication. And even worse blame it on the US instead of where it belongs... with their own government. quote:

Hillary is going to have to throw a few bombs around before she is taken seriously by a lot of the world that is more Chauvanistic than the West. Appealing to he is being mean to me, won't work at all on the world stage, despite it gettting votes with American White Women. She will be having to go into a room with Putin and no cameras, is she going to act scared that he approaches her with a piece of paper? It worked to get here elected to the Senate, but.....
Barak would probably have a much stronger image ot the world, for sterotype reasons. He's no Idi Amin, but that's more than needed. I think he would be able to pull off the threat of violence with no problem. Again, think of him and Putin in a room with no press....
Barak would be no better.
He's just another college boy.
Why do people running for office feel the need to tell us how well they did while they were in school 25 years ago?
I mean what relevency does that have to the job being sought?
A Truckdriver can run for congress or the senate or even the presidency.
I'd prefer someone with at least some military experience over someone who graduated "Cum Laude" from some ivey league degree factory.
Or someone who's run a business and had to meet payrolls.
I want a good "Manager" not someone who has grandiose dreams of being a "leader". Who do they think is going to "follow" them? That's not part of the job description.
And I don't want a president who holds 16 "press conferences" a day like Clinton did! You couldn't turn on the News without seeing his ugly face on it broken blood vessels on his huge proboscus from snorting cocaine with Bono.
I don't want to see the president on the News, that means he's shooting off his yap instead of working.
That's the problem with Washington, there's way too many lawyers there!
Let me guess, Barak went to *law school*, right?
Sorry but I just can't vote for a lawyer.
P.S. we're electing someone as our president to manage *our* country, not foreign countries!
OK, that was my "Andy Rooney" post.
that will never happen. you can't be the president unless you were a skull and bones. everyone knows that. anyway, bush managed a company, so did cheney. no good came of them. the problem is that the manager of a company isn't looking after the employees, they're looking after the profit. while america could use a reduction of the defict, what we REALLY need is someone who can do things that in the long run will shorten the food pantry lines that have gone up since bush got us mired in that long war.
i don't think i'm an isolationist as much as some of the people on this thread, but... the thing is that i don't like the way the people who make wars for american troops to go and die in try to make it all about "helping those poor people." it's absolutely right that no country goes to war except to protect their own interests and i don't think they SHOULD go to war because bad things are happening to people halfway across the world when we can't feed our own people or provide aid to people when there's a disaster. it's naieve of anyone to believe that any culture knows the best way for other countries to fix their ideological problems. at the same time, our own culture is very under the influence of corporate entities, who... well, there is a strong case that if corporate entities were real people they'd be sociopaths... they only look after the interests of the corporation and it's leaders, not the laborers who do the work or the environment or sometimes even the ability to sustain the industry very far into the future. in order to keep turing our profits, we're victimizing people both at home and abroad because they have little money and therefore they aren't worth much to those entities. however, i believe this is ultimately an inhouse problem... if our country did more housecleaning on our own shores instead of on other people's i think that we'd end up with better foriegn policies as well.
