An article from a German magazine


Posted: Dec 3, 2009

Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America's new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric -- and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught.

 

Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond "enthusiastically" to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool.

 

One didn't have to be a cadet on Tuesday to feel a bit of nausea upon hearing Obama's speech. It was the least truthful address that he has ever held. He spoke of responsibility, but almost every sentence smelled of party tactics. He demanded sacrifice, but he was unable to say what it was for exactly.

It is called diplomacy - something this country has been lacking - For a decade now

Your opinion only. I think he is a wonderful leader. Fortunately, so do the majority of Americans. Only a bitter handful call him "pathetic"

Its called idiocracy. Something we have had for the past 16 years - Go figure

No difference. Same policies. The only change we see is a different face. Same empty words. And when the teleprompter doesn't work....no different than Bush. Fact - The man cannot speak without a teleprompter telling him what to say.

Thought after 2 terms of Bush we'd have something different but we don't. We have Bush's third term. But then if you do the research you find out its the same people running Obama that ran Bush.

Go figure.

A little 5-year-old boy came home from kindergarten one day and asked his parents to buy him an IPad.  His parents told him that he was too young for an IPad, that it was too expensive, and why did he need to bring an IPad to school.  The boy told them that Billy had one and asked why he couldn't have one.  Again, they asked the boy what he would do with an IPad in kindergarten, and he told them he would cover his eye with it when they played pirates. ...

? About Rice, Plus A German Crockpot Meal. SmAug 04, 2013
Hi all!  First,  I have a question about rice. Has anyone ever had lavender rice?  If so could you describe the flavor of it? I'm a big basmati rice fan, but keep eying the lavender rice also, but it only comes in a rather large package and is pricey. If anyone knows what it tastes like, I would love the feedback. Now, the recipe.  It's for a complete german sauerbraten dinner and is cheap, easy to make, and is fantastic if you are a fan of german cuisine.  1 ...

According To Smart Money Magazine, Here Is What Corporations Are DoingMar 12, 2011
"Yes, companies have boosted profits—to near-record levels—by slashing costs." That's also what I have been seeing. The companies are making more money than ever before, taking advantage of those tax breaks, but they are pleasing stockholders by cutting costs (and people) in order to do it. That's very good business for them, but not so much for Americans who need to work. This is not a political comment, because it has been happening under both administrations.   ...

Anyone Read Parade Magazine This Week?Dec 03, 2012
Good article on Howard Buffet, Warren's son.  Just a paragraph or two here, but I went to his foundation and read some of the articles posted in thumbnails, speeches, etc. Eye-opening to say the least. Because of his large farm, he not only feeds the hungry, but teaches them farming, to almost the whole world with the exception of a few countries. So my point is that not all "rich" people are greedy CEOs.  In the land of plenty, more than 50 million Americans, including one ...

This is why the U.S. should wait. This is probably why most countries are not backing us, too.

German Federal Supreme Court: Measles Is NOT A VirusJan 26, 2017
This is the strangest vaccine story I have ever come across.  Several scientists proved successfully in Germany that measles is NOT caused by a virus.  The case was heard before the German Federal Supreme Court (equivalent of our U.S. SupremeCourt).  The plaintiff was a biologist, and he was awarded monetary damages. Reseachers in the past decades committed a critical mistake:  They used no controls.  As a result, components of regular cells were misidentified as vira ...

interesting points.  The article is about the ban.  It seems to me that the president should continue, as both Bush and Obama did, on putting new and adventagious things in the vetting process.  We can always improve on things but an all-out ban to me is not adventagious. The video in this touches on a few other points.  Perhaps listen with an open mind and maybe you will see how this "fine tuned" machine is running. ...
