Little Joe, I beg your pardon. Didn't you just told me to be strong individually and get up again and again after being knocked down? But then you told me to not worry because the GOVERNMENT is going to take care of me. Which way, little Joe? I am at the CROSS ROAD now after hearing you.

Please don't talk down the economy. There is no RECESSION, Joe however much you wanted it to be. The GDP for the 1st quarter in 2008 is at 1.9% and now for the 2nd quarter, it is at 3.3%. Wake up and smell the coffee. America is fine.

Please don't blame it on Bush on the housing and subprime problems. He does not have that power though his may be second to Uncle Ben in the economic front. Why can't you tell the American people with a straight face. Tell the Americans that Bush did not cap the Federal spending, but even that he is not solely responsible. Who wrote the bills that were passed?

Little Joe, I don't really want to go to the other areas and challenge you, it's a waste of my time. I thought you are a better person than that. I guess I was wrong.

Health care for everybody including the illegals? How are you going to pay for it, St. Hillary? Not confistication of our hard-earned money through taxation and stealing!!

All I heard is ONE FOR ME, NONE FOR YOU. ME, ME, ME, ME, ME... Am I surprised? Nope. Well, after Hillary, it will be Chelsea and... The Clinton family so to speak. I say, H E L L "no". Same to the Bush family.

The Evil Empire is back at last though gradually. Why not? Forget about the lowly Europeans, the United States is a paper tiger after all. Russia, slowly but surely reclaim the neighboring states back to the Old Soviet Union glory.

We need someone like Putin to be the President of the United States. He looks after his the national interest of his own country. Russia 1st, get it.

Didn't Condi Rice proclaim herself a Russia expert? Why got Georgia, Ukrane and etc to join NATO if you have no backbone or plan to deal with the Russians when they act. They have now acted and all the U.S. can do is just talk. Like Obama says, Words? Or, let the U.N. decide?

Why would any country believe in the United States any more? It's hazardous if you follow their lead or act on what they ask you to do. Poor Georgians, have you learned the lesson? The United States and particularly the Europenas cannot be trusted with your life or future.

Where is Ronald Reagan? I yearn for the yesteryears when we have a stronger leader, determination and nationalism.

Why do you think Paulson was wrong when he advocated strong dollar? A weak dollar give us the advantage on export while dampening imports due to higher foreign currencies and now you have it.
