Hmmm... what if this was Bush and say, white community newspapers? I'm sure they wouldn't call that racist!

Fareed Zakaria is a member of the PNAC: Project for the New American Century. The PNAC advocates using the US military to overthrow foreign governments to enforce American economic interests around the globe, no matter how negative the consequences. The PNAC advocates this foreign policy because there is no check on the United States after the collapse of the USSR. After the PNAC-Iraq campaign didn’t turn out to be as cheap and easy as the PNAC and Zakaria thought it would be, Zakaria “changed” his opinion. How interesting; how convenient. A journalistic version of the Peter Principle. This author’s PNAC membership is relevant to his latest book.

I decided to read “The Post American World,” by Fareed Zakaria, after seeing a picture of then US Presidential candidate Barak Obama carrying the book in his hand as he deboarded a plane while on the campaign trail. I was curious to see what this presidential candidate was reading, and why he would read a book that would be predicting the decline of America, the country he wanted to head up.

Page 31 contains missinformation regarding the polar caps melting. He also incorrectly refers to Singapore as a country on page 102. I believe Singapore is a city, not a country. I could go on and on regarding the lies and untruths, but I believe you get the point.

The most outlandish assumption made by the book is that the US will no longer be a dominant force in world politics, being replaced by India and China. India? With it’s delapidated airports, crumbling roads, vast slums and impoverished villages. The India with containing several Nigerias within it? India, with 300 million people living on less than one dollar per day? India, home to 40% of the world’s poor and the country with the second highest population of HIV-positive people? That India is going to the the country to take over the world? Huh? India, whose population goes down to a river to bathe? Yea, right, they are going to take over the world. Give me a break!

All you need to know about the author’s agenda is that he is from India. That is why he proposes that India will take over the world.

The book is a joke; an agenda pushed forward hoping people like Obama will buy into it. Don’t!

Save your money. If want want a good laugh, read the book, but check it out from the library.

Maybe a fire in the Senate Office Building with a militia member as suspect.

Not to justify the book (cause I’m not) but it was right about Singapore - it is a country as well as being a city.

The Republic of Singapore, is an island city-state located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The microstate lies 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia’s Riau Islands. At 710.2 km2 (274.2 sq mi),[5] Singapore, the smallest nation in Southeast Asia, is by orders of magnitude the largest of the three remaining sovereign city-states in the world (the others being Monaco and Vatican City).

Before European settlement, the island now known as Singapore was the site of a Malay fishing village at the mouth of the Singapore River. Several hundred indigenous Orang Laut people also lived along the nearby coast, rivers and on smaller islands. In 1819 the British East India Company, led by Sir Stamford Raffles, established a trading post on the island, which was used as a port along the spice route.[6] Singapore became one of the most important commercial and military centres of the British Empire, and the hub of British power in Southeast Asia. The city was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, which Winston Churchill called “Britain’s greatest defeat”.[7] Singapore reverted to British rule in 1945, immediately after the war. Eighteen years later (1963) the city, having achieved independence from Britain, merged with Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak to form Malaysia. However, less than two years later it seceded from the federation and became an independent republic on 9 August 1965. Singapore joined the United Nations on 21 September that same year. It is also a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. (grabbed from Wikepedia, but it’s correct about it’s status)

Blacks only.

I'm not surprised.

The racist brainwashing of Obama was integrated into his soul by professionals for years.

He also wants to be able to make gang signs with his hands, and bump fists with people.

I think it’s because he’s going to be speaking ebonics and doesn’t want white America to see him yukking it up with the crackheads.

He also might be trying out the new blend of ebonics and Marxist exhortions, known as "Obamics."

I think the teleprompter is unavailable because it is being punished for the gaff it made on the Jay Leno show regarding “special olympics.”

Teleprompter must be overdue for a major overhaul by now. Well the milage it has sustained must make for a tune up by now.

Well...I just hope it had the fore sight to sign up for Frequent Flyer miles...it will be able to take TOTUS's girlfriend on a niiiccce vacation really soon with all the mileage it is accumulating from Air Force One!

I can hardly believe that this is from the LA Times. The comments section reads like a classic Freeper thread.
NO supporters at all!
