I was just trying to be neutral and found an article that didn't show a pro or con. I have read many articles that the Japanese are embarrassed because of what he did. What's worse I think is that he showed a sign of weakness. I do think it's unfortunate that the person in charge of protocol doesn't even have the decency to instruct the president on proper etiquette procedures in other countries (i.e. not bowing to other country leaders). It is an embarrassment not only for our country but for theirs as well. Kind of makes you think the person in charge of protocol is purposely trying to make him look bad.

I just think the worse message this showed the world is the weakness he displayed by bowing to a leader of another country. And at that he didn't even bow properly. Just very embarrassing.

I read two good articles this morning and am posting a little of each here with links to read the whole article if you chose to do so.

But would you mind if I interrupted this cultural moment to point out that capitalism is an inherently elitist enterprise?  Prosperity is often driven by small enclaves of extraordina ...

My, My. While Reading Old Newspaper Articles, I Came Across This One:Feb 19, 2013
1/17/2003:  "WARHEADS FOUND IN IRAQ" so I got curious, read the article and found out the U.N. had only found 11 warheads BUT they were going to test them for any trace of chemicals in the warheads.  When I did a search on this article to find out if they ever tested those warheads, I found MORE on the sugject. Please feel free to read the article links i posted and I apologize for the length of this post, but it just goes to show how much the left and MSM has buried a lot of stories/ ...

One Of The Most Insightful Articles I've ReadApr 11, 2013
I've heard many people comparing him to Nero.  I can see why.  Especially with his latest stint of throwing a lavish party when the country (Russia, SK, China and many other countries) are bracing for what NK might be doing.  This article pretty much sums it up.  It was written in 2011, but still holds true to as if it was written today: Three significant historical events have been eclipsed by Obama: 1) Jimmy Carter will no longer be looked upon as the worst president ...

All you Olberman, Maddow, and Matthew fans do not need to read it unless you want to but any bashing will not be answered. I am posting an article, that's all, that I found interesting.

Some Interesting Articles On Cutting The Budget DeficitNov 28, 2010
All these articles are quite long but are worth reading every word. Remember, nothing is written in stone. All can be tweaked. I found some of the ideas very good, and some 'not so good.' All in all, it's good that there's plenty of input happening and hopefully, our government will READ (if that's possible) them and debate/compromise on them. The first one is from the Brookings Institute which gives quite a few plans from various Senior Fellows: http://www.brookings.e ...

As I see it, one problem on this board is citing acurate sources.  It's really not our fault as informed voters.  It's the fault of the media - radio, TV, internet, newspapers, etc.  For example, if a poster here wants to discuss "Fast and Furious," the only sources are going to be right-leaning sources (RLS), since the left-leaning sources (LLS) are not covering the story.  The same is true, for example, regarding the transvag ultrasound story only being reported ...
