Awwwwwww.
Isn't it interesting how, even before Obama won, we didn't hear nearly the amount of America-bashing as usual since the financial crisis hit?
The rest of the world wanted us to get kneed in the groin financially--they figured they could deal with China, India, South America, after taking something of a hit.
Well, we got kneed, and are being kneed again and again, but we're still standing, and those in our shadow are getting a lot of the fallout. And they're starting to mewl about how the big, bad US has ALWAYS been their friend, and we'll help them out in this crisis, right, right?
Good, objective observation, Ireland. You are a welcome addition to The forum.

Obamania is like a teenaged girl’s infatuation with a rock star, and we know what happens when she’s scorned.
Yes STDs from such affairs are hard to deal with. Hope all those in the “love haze” had their shots. :/
I really am amazed OBama is not attending this meeting. He needs to be there to meet other world players, to listen and learn firsthand- not via Albright or Leach.
I don’t get what the reasoning is behind the decision- but getting inside his head is impossible.
If Obama implements half of his planned economic measures, the next four years will have us pining for the golden years of the Carter administration.
