MUMBAI: Implicitly acknowledging the decline of American dominance, Barack Obama on Sunday said the US was no longer in a position to "meet the rest of the world economically on our terms".

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Mumbai, he said, "I do think that one of the challenges that we are going face in the US, at a time when we are still recovering from the financial crisis is, how do we respond to some of the challenges of globalisation? The fact of the matter is that for most of my lifetime and I'll turn 50 next year - the US was such an enormously dominant economic power, we were such a large market, our industry, our technology, our manufacturing was so significant that we always met the rest of the world economically on our terms. And now because of the incredible rise of India and China and Brazil and other countries, the US remains the largest economy and the largest market, but there is real competition."

"Obama acknowledges decline of US dominance"

The very fact that such a unqualified, empty-suit puppet like Obama is POTUS in the first place is proof of that.

He is accomplishing his goals by making us an third world country. I can not believe this will benefit globalization because India, China, Brazil, etc. will not be as generous with our financial resources as we have been. I do not see the benefits to the rest of the world except to destroy us economically and militarily as they have so often wanted in the past. How will the world be more secure with us being in the position of weakness?

Hey Obama: Free our economy!!!

Simplify the tax code while eliminating the silly government regulations on business will make this economy skyrocket.

Example: With all of our natural resources, there should be no way in hell that this nation is an energy importer.

Turn lose the energy sector and we could create thousands of jobs overnight.

-—But I forget I’m giving economic advice to a president who has never worked a day in his life in the private sector.....

If by “our terms” he meant what ever the market would bear, he would be right. What the hell he means now is beyond me.

You raise excellent points in your post.

Let me offer one slight correction, that will not alter your meaning, re: …a president who has never worked a day in his life in the private sector.....

Actually, he worked briefly in the private sector and of that experience he said: “...(I was) like a spy behind enemy lines.” Dreams from My Father, pg 135.

If the Kenyan would give Americans their oil back, we’d see how fast we’d regain that dominance. All he acknowledged was that the Commie’RATS Plan A is working.

Leave everything aside. How could Americans think a guy called “Hussein” would have America’s best interests at heart and would want America to be the best ? Was there a precedent ?

That’s just it - if the government took its jackboot off of the throat of American business, the economy would take off like a rocket.

Some say Obozo’s is ignorant of that fact. I think he’s doing what he’s doing on purpose - to tear down the economy so that it can be re-made into a socialist entity.
