Seonsengnimble, let me take on your points one by one.

Your first point is valid, even if a bit picky. I was counting Obama's tenure in office from the time he was elected in November of 2008. That would make it a little more than a year--give or take a few days. Granted, I concede that he was in the oval office in January which would make it a little less than a year.

Obama didn't create the national debt. However, he is adding to it at an alarming rate (more so than any of his predecessors) and with his medicare proposals he will escalate it even more. Obama is spending money like a drunken sailor. Money that the American government doesn't have.

A falling American dollar is good for those working abroad. Your point is well taken. However, the duty of a president is not to use fiscal policy to benefit a small group of expats.

I am not going to get over Obama's bowing to emperors. It flies in the face of everything America stands for. All that, "We the people" stuff that you might have come across in universtity unless you spent your time studying third world/post colonial oppression, colonial oppression and feminist/transgender/gay and lesbian studies. Obama hates the principles on which America is based. His bowing is simply a symbol of this.

I agree, America IS a country of laws. Prisoners of war have traditionally, through time, from at least the civil war on, been tried by military tribunals in accordance with military law. KSM and et al were captured on the battle field. They are enemy combattants and should be tried as such. They should not be tried in the same court as Martha Stewart.

For example, the German enemy combattants at the close of WWII were tried at Nuremberg in a military tribunal. They were not tried on American soil in civilian court.

Mr. Seonsengnimble, If we are at war, then the rules of war apply. The fact that this is a war unlike others we've fought should not mean that it isn't a war at all.

So Beck's, I take it you don't remove your shoes inside or give money with two hands here?

also, has the USD noticeably depreciated since Obama took office, at an increased rate from the bush years?

not going the whole 9 on ending torture and indefinite detainment is probably the biggest obama disappointment. afghanistan second, iraq third.

also, the reason people weren't getting nuremburg style trials is that they weren't considered soldiers by the bush admin.

I don't remember a formal declaration of war, only an authorization of force.

Not everyone agrees with this NY Times article that you posted, Hater Depot. There are other opinions. The Wall Street Journal has another take on the issue. On economic issues I tend to favour the WSJ.

So Sorry. Holding hands and taking ones shoes off at the door is not bowing.

Obama didn't even bow well in Japan. He didn't suck up correctly. He held the emperor of Japan's hand when he bowed. Even the emperor was embarrassed. I guess Obama was off his teleprompter. Then again, if he wants to get America into even more debt maybe he felt he had to bow. Either way he is dispicable.

For an American president to bow to a foreign emperor is totally against everything the USA stands for. WE THE PEOPLE. He is the first president to have done so. He is an America hating president. Sired by a Muslim Kenyan and mothered by a third world enthusiast. He is the first post-American president. He is a disgrace to his country. I supported the old guy who fought for his country and the hot American chick. I'm proud of it. You Betcha.

Please Captain Corea, tell me how I make no sense. Or are you just another worshiper of the Obamamessiah? Or are you just picky about the dates?
