According to Senator Obama we need Europe's help to do just about everything; and another case of differences in points of view from Bagram Afganistan this time, surrounding Senator Obama and this trip.
It is said that a country is only as good as its leader, so if Senator Obama and Senator McCain are the only two candidates we have to choose from we may be in really big trouble. Senator McCain is a whiner and Senator Obama is not only a fake but believes Americans can't do anything for our selves.
Why are we so limited to who we have to choose from? We have four political groups and yet all we ever hear about from the media is the Republicans and the Democrats. Neither of whom at this point seems even worthy of being our leader. The Republican only thinks about war and winning the war when he's not whining about the coverage his opponent is receiving, while the other apparently has no faith in the people's abilities in the country he's running for much less respect for the men out there putting their lives on the line for our freedom, unless there's a camera there for show and tell. What kind of choices are those?
Future leaders of America, stand and take note please. We the people of the United States of America are not weak, not crippled and not stupid! We the people of the United States of America have a dream. That dream future leaders is to work together in one accord and be treated as the equals we are. We do not need Europe to help us clean our own air, contain and maintain our own boarders, fix our housing problems or to help us with our industrial situation. We the people of the United States of America need a leader who is genuinely real in his or her own zeal to help us get back on our own feet without outside interference from any other countries.
We need to bring our companies back to our country and or develop new companies that won't leave our country for our people to work in. We need our President to govern our individual state governors who need to start doing the jobs they were elected to do which is to take care of their peoples needs! We need caps and regulation placed on industries the rich owns so all the people may use them such as phone companies, water companies, insurance companies, fuel companies and power companies.
We need to build Salt Water Treatment Plants for water availability during droughts. We need to develop and produce Solar, Wind and Bio Energies that everyone can afford to obtain and use. We need to build affordable vehicles that everyone can afford to purchase and or devise a straight trade such as one operational, currently licensed and insured fossil fueled vehicle for one new clean energy vehicle which will get the populace up and running faster. We need lower priced medical equipment for the hospitals and doctor offices so they can cut the currant prices they charge the public. We need closer medical facilities than twenty or even ten miles away from most people and or produce more public transportation at a very cheap cost for the elderly, handy-capped and the poor. We need to make sure that the FDA is going to be able to do their job properly and see to it that they can and will effectively maintain safety measures keeping our imports free of contaminants of all sorts so that the foods and drugs we use will not make us sick or kill us anymore. We may consider placing military bases at all American boarders with a wall extending from one base to the other, to safeguard our people from further illegal entries into our country. This way if we are on alert no one enters or exits our country via our boarders until the threat is over. The military will be on hand to assist the Boarder Patrol and a major deterrent to all who would enter illegally. It would also mean no easy escape route for those who come here to attack us.
All of these things we Americans can accomplish on our own with little to no outside help from any other country. I say little because most of our factories are now overseas somewhere and there are parts we may need that only can be retrieved from one of them. I just wish everyone would remember that nothing is free! If you think I'm wrong just try to get something free over the Internet or a store without stealing it. If you are buying one to get one free it is still not free because you had to buy one first. On the Internet they advertise free but you still have to pay shipping and handling so it's not free folks. There is always a fee or a price attached to it somewhere and “Free Trade” is no different.
You have ALWAYS had help from other countries. Do you know what percentage of highly qualified immigrants primarily from Asia work in NASA, the space defense program, medical and high tech industries? Almost 72%.
Do you know percentage of Americans enroll in institutions of higher learning (engineering, biotech, computer science, etc). Approximately 27%. You would not lead the world in innovation were it not for the immigrants that come here.
Note: Americans have VERY LITTLE to do with their own success. Period.
You have, still are and always will be dependent on the rest of the world!
Obama is right. Look to Europe and the rest of the world America and learn something (that is, if you are capable ??).
