Jack Ohman for April 01, 2009

Love and respect takes time to heal after it was virtually destroyed. As for “cheering crowds”, Obama is just one among many standing there. They like Obama. They don’t like many of those in G-20.

But, hey, nice try with the diversion. You’d probably ensnare the idiots. Anyone with an ounce of intellect, however, will see through your games.

Danny, let me be as nice as I can - I know you have high hopes for the success of the Lib agenda, and I at least want Obama to succeed for America’s sake (in ways that matter - this is a change from my opinion of two months ago). But countries don’t protect and serve their people by relying on the “love and respect” of other nations. Everyone of those nations is there so they don’t miss out on a deal or an opportunity. Wake up, Libs!

“But countries don’t protect and serve their people by relying on the “love and respect” of other nations.”

So, you’re saying that countries protect and serve their people by relying on the ‘hate and disrespect’ of other nations?

I don’t think you thought your argument all the way through…

FWIW (obviously I’m not the Ambassador-at-Large) - To simplify: Love is for your significant other Respect is for your Mom and Dad and a Border Guard and Customs agent is for your trading partner (or any other country or foreigner).

Nobody’s cheering because it’s a giant business meeting. Do you cheer madly at your business meetings? Nope, poker face.

They do respect Obama, but they still have their own interest to defend.

Ms. Frog- you do have a point in that it is a business meeting. The international crowd at his town meeting seemed very receptive. Obama is intelligent and always tries to solve problems that are very complex.

Obama is a hack who’s riding the political “wave” for all it’s worth. Do you doubt it?

If Obama is a “hack” who attained the Presidency in a brilliant campaign based on grass roots organization, what does that make the Republican Party?
