LMAO America already looks best. Majority of the world population considers United States to be the greatest danger to world peace.

It will only get worst, people are not blind to our imperial thirst, only silly proud flag waving ignorant American patriots are.

There's no left in the US. Only far right and sort of right center! And about your religious dogma, the devil exists as much as santa claus!

Lieberman, Cheney, the whole RNC, the Military Industrial Ideological Complex, high unemployment...now you know why Obama was laughing "inappropriately" after he won the election while being interviewed on 60 Minutes. He knew before he won that McCain was nominated by his party to lose & that he, Obama, was stepping into a no-win mess. He's slipping in the polls b/c of high unemployment. But so was Reagan at this point in his 1st term. Regan's numbers were much lower.

The US plays GUNSMOKE and Billy the Kid to the lives of other cultures and peoples. If I had a twofaced nation like the US at my borders plying the world with favors for disapproval of my nation. I would go down swinging and though defeated in the end I'd make that enemy regret they ever heard the name of my nation. You see. The US is not a nation. It is a rogue state. A dream of a few mysticalized visionaries that want this for the whole world whether they want it or not. We are the oppressors.

The legislation would have allowed bankruptcy judges to reset loan rates on the primary residence only and then if he believed they were victims of unfair lending practices. Investment and rent property were not included. I don't see how they could get backlash from that because voters of both parties got caught in the housing crisis. They could expect a backlash in campaign contributions though.

...Just like Obama will do when the "powers that be" sit him down and show him the real world of diplomacy. All of a sudden, "the troops must stay."

Some would see that as a poison pill for the economy if it did pass. Talk about abuse of the welfare state. Bottom line is if investors can't make money, investors won't lend money. I think that the dems thought that they believed in something but when they got close to the fire, they weren't so sure of it and became afraid of the potential backlash. Happens all the time...

...and then they meet for dinner afterwards. I hear what you are saying but i'm not so sure that they are smart enough to coordinate that well. If they could, they could really get something positive done for the people. I'm guessing that it is just the nature of the beast and something that "we the people" need to sort out. Maybe we should try to find a way to trick the system to cause it to work on our behalf.

A recent example is the dems grandstanding over their legislation to let bankruptcy judges reset mortgage rates. The dems wold not let the Republicans amendments come up for votes even though that had enough votes to vote them down. This gave the Republicans an excuse to oppose it. Wall street lobbyist fund both sides of the aisle and did not want this to pass. It did not pass. Coincidence? A circus for the people .
