Yes, I do believe it. Even when he compromises, which he did far too often, from the very beginning, no Republican would vote yea on one of his bills.
He's watered down every bill to try to placate them, at least somewhat, and it's gotten him nowhere. So, he's a fool for trying. But his biggest headache, at least when he had control of the House, were the Blue Dog Democrats. In what has to be the greatest irony of the Tea Party upset, is that the Blue Dogs were bounced to a greater degree than most of the Democrat incumbents. So those seats are actually a outright loss for Obama as he wouldn't have gotten their support without large chunks of pork.
I agree - he should have stuck to his guns ( no pun intended ). In the end, he got stuck with a flip-flopper label although his opponents were just as bad.
The US is too dependent on things made in China, and many items they buy from other countries rely on parts also made in China.
China has lots of resources too - the only major one they're lacking is oil - but they have plenty of coal and plenty of cheap labour. They can make petroleum out of coal like South Africa did during the apartheid years. I think their biggest worry would be a food shortage. In a war with China, the US, without considerable support from their allies would have to consider the nuclear option.
Are you looking in the mirror? I think you're projecting onto yourself. I was replying to you but not referring to you. And, it's the opposition who refuse to bend. Obama's platform is pretty moderate and his healthcare isn't far off from what was proposed by Republicans in the past.
He wasn't born rich and he didn't inherit his money or win a lottery,and, as the 1st person of color to be president of the Harvard Law Review, I'd say he's famous for a bit more than Kim K. whose fame derives largely from bouncing her fat ass on videotape on some rapper's cock.
And never in my life have I witnessed such unwarranted vitriol, hatred and lying denigration towards an intelligent, well-meaning, decent man. Obama's no saint and he may never be ranked among the great Presidents, but idiots in the US voted in a corporate puppet who couldn't articulate two sentences in a row TWICE. Just about anyone would have looked pretty good after that.
The US, and the world, was ready for change and that's how Obama was perceived - a man of average circumstances, who, in his person, represented a bridging of cultural, religious and linguistic divides. And, despite the political polarisation of present-day America, he has tried to reach across the aisle but the opposition are holding the voters hostage to their elitist agenda.
Did ordinary civilians show up at Bush meetings carrying firearms? I don't recall any message from the President that he wants to revoke the Second Amendment.
I guess John Kerry got some ridiculously unfair treatment from the Swift Boaters but there did seem to be some legit questions about his war record and discarding his medals. I'd love to see Time do an expose on the Koch brothers, who seem to be the real shadow power in America these last years.
Don't be naive. Most secrets are to cover some individual's ass. What Diplomat X says about Foreign Leader Y should not be a state secret; same for flagrant violations of international law.
Let's see - does it run ( only ) x86 / x64 instruction set natively? Did you pay the Microsoft tax? Has there been threats and lawsuits between AMD and Intel or Microsoft and Linux that may have affected you or the hardware you've bought or were thinking of buying?
Your answers to the questions above should help you decide if you're on the Wintel platform or not.
No, they didn't. They were the catalyst and continue to be. All they have to do is have the occasional successful bombing or attempt and the US keeps on being paralyzed and wasting money it cannot afford on the terror game. For all the money spent to date, America could have accomplished every megaproject they've been putting off for the last 2 decades and the terrorists, with thousands of young religious fools willing to depart for Paradise, can keep this game going forever at minimal cost in dollars and trivial cost ( to them ) in lives.
And, what would happen if they used African muslims in a third attempt with suicide bombers in public areas on US soil? Would you then fight a war on a third front?
This was never about getting the US to convert but about severely weakening the US and thanks to their efforts and other factors such as the economic downturn, they've made some serious progress.
thanks to the TSA security procedures, we now get free handjobs, while still alive. The terrorists will have to wait till they get to Paradise and have a turn with the 72 virgins (hey, maybe that's how they remain virgins - HJs only)

Good God! Did my.sig set you off(topic) much? Anyway, you do have some valid points but there's a lot you're overlooking.
For example, why couldn't Japan simply have been blockaded? They're remote and didn't really have much left to throw at the Allies.
As for your rapist scenario, I wouldn't count on that strategy working on someone who's much bigger and stronger. Trying something like that will likely get your head smashed against the pavement and still get ass-fucked. If fighting back gives you room to run and scream or otherwise attract attention, go for it. If not, all it'll likely get you is a pat on the back for fighting back - too bad you now have a concussion paired with a torn-up asshole. By the way, how many years, lives and dollars have been wasted in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq and Afghanistan? What would all that effort have accomplished at home?

This is one of the reasons I find his business model so compelling - he and his team has this all thought out. Try not to hate him if you've had bad experiences with SAP. But, to get back to Better Place, they claim they have software that communicates with the cars that have their leased batteries and with the grid to prioritize who gets how much power and when and who can feed power back to the grid when necessary. In effect, it's a distributed energy storage system based on the premise that the vast majority of cars will be stationary and plugged-in for 20+ hours per day.

Considering that CEOs seem to jump ship faster with more megabucks that they did when I first joined the workforce, maybe outsourcing them is worth trying, as long as their pay is tied to actual performance and not the virtual blowjob they give to the stock price by cutting staff.
Slashdot gave you another set of mod points did they? Man, they'll just give it away to any of you right-wingnut, Micro$hitlls (pronounced micro-shittles, doncha know).
Hey, before you go whacking off to the wannabe-witch's poster, just remember that the stupid lying bitch's snatch is hairier than a buffalo's headrag.

America is not the sole superpower. In the shape the US is in right now, they're no match, with support from their allies, for China
