Expectations for Barack Obama

yeah like undecided voter from Family Guy rofl

Eh? The US has full media freedom.

As for your other comment, I assure you that the CIA doesn’t have the magic powers required to blame Al-Qaeda (which was not really created by the CIA) for an assassionation done by a “redneck hill billy.”

I looked for death all written all over his face but I guess he washed.

Wait, USA isn’t bankrupt. At least USA can print Dollars.

What we expect for Obama is nothing but the recovery of US and eventually world economy.

“He has been sworn in as the 44th president though. I do not want to see him get killed but the numbers are brutal.”

It would be funny if you actually believed that being the 44th President actually meant this.

And even funnier if “government” actually meant what you claim it does:

From Latin gubernatio (“‘management, government’”) < Ancient Greek κυβερνισμός (kubernismos), κυβέρνησις (kubernēsis), “‘steering, pilotage, guiding’”) < κυβερνάω (kubernaō), “‘I steer, drive, guide, pilot’”) ….

Okay, so that part is slightly correct, though it means “pilot” or “steer” (like the Ship of State) rather than simple “control”, but “ment”? Ahem:

Used to form nouns from verbs, the nouns having the sense of “the action or result of what is denoted by the verb”.

What you refer to as “debt” is probably better referred to as “investment.”

It’s not too late.
I’d say go commit some kind of atrocity then take out a loan for a giant TV so you can watch yourself on the news.

See, that’s where pundits and the overzealous progressive will say you’re wrong. They want to blame Bush for the fact that Bush was elected twice.

Anyway, while I do agree with some of the basic assertions you make (despite your obvious bias), you lack the ability to qualify your arguments with details. I’d offer some examples on how you can qualify your arguments, but they’re not mine to make. Just know that without them, no one will agree with you (except other equally biased or uninformed individuals).

For your other points, the American government is bankrupt, not the country. We are, after all, a capitalist nation, not communist. If you can wrap your head around that, you will understand that “repayment” will never simply be a matter of “signing ownership of industries over to Japan”. Company buyouts and closings will occur in both directions in line with the ebb-and-flow of industry changes (namely, the services and products industries).

Besides, Japan’s economy is still comparatively stable. Between gaining ownership of American companies (that could go bankrupt next week) and delayed repayment at a higher interest rate, it’s clear that the best investment (by Japan of US assets) is the latter — it’s not like Japan needs the money right away. It’s only when you allow political or moral prejudices guide capitalist practices that you run into problems — such as your gross overgeneralizations of Americans.

Roger,

I actually kind of agree with some of your points. For example, I think Americans are kidding themselves when they proclaim that the United States is the most prosperous country in the world, and I think that we are often ill-served by our news media.

But you express yourself in an almost hysterical way and frankly, you sound quite paranoid. If you want to persuade people to your way of thinking, then not only what you say, but how you say it is important. Here is a bit of advice,from the famous American writer E.B. White,which was helpful to me because I also sometimes tend toward hyperboloe:

“Do not overstate. When you overstate, readers will instantly be on guard, and everything that has preceded your overstatement as well as everything that follows it will be suspect in their minds because they have lost confidence in your judgement or your poise. Overstatement is one of the common faults. A single overstatement, wherever or however it occurs, diminishes the whole, and a single carefree superlative has the power to destroy, for readers, the object of your enthusiasm.”

“Japan has been providing Americans with electronics and cars for the past 5 decades. It is time for the US to actually pay for the products and services they get from Japan.”

So this explains why Sony and Nikon are free if you go to the US? That’s funny – I always thought you had to pay.

Anyway, you’re entertaining, like the Weekly World News.
