Now that is a great idea. I never would have thought to do that. Its a good idea by instead of using laws and such to force businesses to solve these problems, He is going to talk to these people. Just talk. I guess its a good idea because the thing is that most of these people have money to spend and are the same as you and me but with large sums of money. Just like we want progress they most likely want progress to and are most likely happy to help the country as long as its not overly detrimental to their company. And Barack is right unless the Government is communist it cant solve our economic problems on its own. Now if Obama can get some help from the CEO's then we will be much closer to solving our economic problems then just having the government do all the work.

Political Stuff - Afghanistan, Pakistani help?

Barack Obama is releasing a review over the military strategy in Afghanistan. This report will show the progress made in this country for the 9 years that we have been fighting this war. This report was made by 16 non military agencies instead of the reports made by the military. This assessment shows negative results for this "conflict".  They believe that the only way we can start to make a real dent in rebel forces is if we have Pakistani help to keep the rebels from escaping into their borders for rest and resupply before they cross the border again to engage American forces.

I believe that if we can get Pakistan to support us then we might be able to make a difference in the war. But the problem is even with Pakistani help we are still fighting a war against people who don't want our help. A war is won not by the bigger army but by the people who want victory the most and if we don't have the support of Afghanis and Pakistanis or the people within our own borders then we are wasting away money and soldiers for a lost cause. The best idea would be to pull our troops out. The enemy will think they won but we tell them well leave them alone unless they do something against us. And if they do decide to reengage us by some form of attack on American soil then we head back there with force. But the key to this working is to make it public about how we are leaving them alone and what will happen if they attack us. Then if they do reengage us we will have public support on our soil to send a force back over there. But when we go back over there we go over there with a force that they could never imagine. And we have to deal with them such force that no one in that area will ever challenge our power again. Before the world wars we were not thought of as powerful but after we flexed our countries power no one doubted it. Now 70 years later I feel the world even some of our allies need to be shown the true might that is the United States. See people always question weather it is better to be feared or loved. Well as long as the world is shown our mercy then we should not be afraid to show our power when a little tiny country feels they can attack us. That way the world will fear us but most of the world is on our side and will enjoy the fact that we wont hold back all the time anymore.

Political Stuff - New Tax Deal

Barack Obama. WTF!!!!. Barack what are you thinking. Doing exactly what the republicans want all the time kinda doesn't get anywhere because they dont know what they are doing. I think you should grow a pair and deal with the problem. Barack obama has a plan and his plan is relatively good if he could get it to work but he meets republican opposition everywhere and instead of forcing his ideas on them and getting some public support he compromising and ends up with everyone hating him. He needs to stand by what hes thinking. We all know hes against bush era tax cuts but ends up extending them anyway. That is money we are throwing away. Oh its just another 700 billion no one cares. I care because your screwing up the country and me and my generation are gonna have to deal with it. Barack you need to be a man and stop asking congress to do stuff for you and jam it down their throats until you get what you want. Stop being a punk bitch
