The President (any President) could say something dumb and there might be a blip on the stock market, but eventually things might even out.

Congress can do things that are (Cap N Trade bull[censored] for example) much more permanent.

Oops, meant debt of course.

And I do agree that Congress can mess up the economy more than the president..although I disagree about cap and trade obviously.. but in general over the economy congress has a great deal of power.

Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens’s election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”

Chinese shop keepers selling t-shirts in advance of Obama's visit.



What does it say under the photo? Oba Mao.

Their government has since stepped in and ordered a stop to it but I'm sure His fans can find one online.

Give me a break. If Faux News can portray him in that light, why jump on some poor small-scale capitalist in Shanghai for doing the same thing?

Maybe because that small time capitalist in China isn't a leader in the world?
I would say that people's perception of him matters a whole lot.

Yeah after all Zedong was only responsible for the deaths of more than 50,000,000 Million people.

Awesome.

That, in a nutshell, is why I visit the Poli forum on Bucknuts. So people can take what I say and fashion something completely unrecognizable out of it.

Welcome to politics.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go work on my Bill Clinton/Che Guevara & George Bush/Joseph Stalin fusion Ts.

These sort of things somehow don't surprise me. Explain the Mao connection again?
