So, just to be sure I have it…

The USA faces probably the most difficult, complex foreign relations pressures at any time and for any President in the history of our republic, ever – with North Korea and Iran racing to nuclear destruction on somebody, a middle-east regional war with Israel and the rest of the world that is like throwing nitro-glycerin on an ocean of fire and nitro-glycerin, the never-ending occupation and slaughter that is the war in Iraq, devolving diplomatic relations with the whole Middle East, Europe, Russia and China, etc. just to name a few, and we await the calming, adult efforts of our highest office holder, the so-called Leader of the Free World; the biggest moran in a century is “in charge” with his thorough understanding of the underlying issues and complexities of each culture, his smirking "charisma" and “cowboy diplomacy”!

Great. Just frickin’ great.

1. Chimpy thought he would be asked about the pig. n/t

[saltpoint]

5. That's right. It's all about the pig. Why didn't the foreign press

ask more stuff about the pig?

Damned liberal media are EVERYWHERE.

[CottonBear]

13. I hope that Angela Merkel (sp?) was horrified and embarassed by *.

:(

[saltpoint]

19. I bet you're right. And I wouldn't blame her if she was.

2. To be sure, Georgey boy is less like Jack Kennedy....

than the potato-head was. He's probably in a fetal position slobbering all over himself as we speak.

[eleny]

3. His administration caused some of that

:banghead:

12. I used to think

that I would be "above the rhetoric" and be able to stay rational and balanced, and try to understand points-of-view of Repubs, etc. I am so done with that. These neo-cons are everything callous and heinous in this world.

[eleny]

15. More & more they appear to like all this death and destruction

So I don't think they have any intention to move into the current situation and try to calm things. I think they're probably trying to figure out how to politicize it to benefit their Party in November.

4. mindboggling, isn't it?

:grr:

[Turn CO Blue]

6. I am scared and furious at the same time!

[patrice]

7. And my ex-favorite radio station, NPR, has become a total

propaganda mill.

[Turn CO Blue]

9. I noticed that too -- when we need them most.

[patrice]

23. . . . They turn into a bunch of mindless Cheerleaders.

Rah, Rah . . . ?

[rucky]

8. The Gays Want to Get Married! n/t

[Vickers]

17. NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!

:sarcasm:

10. Much of the problems you mentioned were caused, or at least exacerbated

by Shrub's foreign policy!...or lack of one!

I heard one of the reporters on CNN this AM saying he cannot remember any President having to deal with so many problems all at the same time! I have to agree with him, I don't either, but Shrub and his actions have caused a lot of this mess.

[Turn CO Blue]

11. Thoroughly agree!

[saltpoint]

20. I thought Jim Baker was supposedly on-site in the White House,

working behind the scenes to shore up Junior's presidency.

Is Baker on vacation?

Is he on heroin?

You'd think he'd throw in a tip or two Junior's way so he wouldn't look like a complete fool.

14. As i watched the press conference,

i couldn't take my eyes off Bu$h. He had this smirk on his face, we all know that smirk, the one that tell us and the entire world that i really don't want to be bothered with these silly questions.

And sure enough his answer to the one reported i heard was a very statesman like answer
"I thought you were going to ask about the pig"

While the middle east is burning, and north Korea keeps shooting missiles and building nukes. The best answer he can give to a question is about dinner, and he didn't do that very well!

[knowbody0]

18. the symbolism of the "pig"

is so "in your face". my jaw is still dropped that he could be so evil.

[Cosmocat]

16. Bottom line ...

We just have to cross our fingers for the next two and a half years ...

This is no lie, for the last 6 years I thank god, and I am not a religious person, but I thank god this moran was not president during the Cuban Missle Crises ... There would be no life on this planet ...

[cyberpj]

21. Yep. But I think it's all part of Cheney/Rumsfeld PNAC Middle East Policy

The only way to get World Domination is to get the Islamo-fascist vs. Christo-fascist worldwide war going!

Your military tax dollars at work while they continue to reap the corporate investment profits.

22. Don't worry

God will advise him...
