The media and Obama apologists can spin anyway they want, it was a disgusting display. Just what is expected from an amateur president.

What do you expect from a Worthless Socialist that ignores troop requests from his battlefield commanders, and fails to work on reviving our economy. The only thing he cares about is increasing the entitlement programs and to systematically destroy our Constitution and our freedoms - 2012 CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!

Janie - You are obviously oblivious to the comparison I drew. It was intended to point out the double standards and lack of respect for other cultures that people such as you posses.

You are disgustingly unamerican in your desire to see our president fail. I hated Bush, but never once did I wish faiure upon him.

"amateur president."

Frankly, a seasoned politicians, such as Kissinger & Nixon show due respect for others within the confines of the culture they are immersed in.

"fails to work on reviving our economy."

The markets are up, and Wall St. is getting their money. Isn't that all you republicans care about?


"The only thing he cares about is increasing the entitlement programs and to systematically destroy our Constitution and our freedoms "

Again, you ignore the patriot act... But as a republican I guess you are unable to read and comprehend it in the first place.

He is showing disrespect for America and respect for Japan. It is that simple. He is the first President to bow to emperors and apologize for our way of life and traditions.

He did the right thing. To read anything else into it is to merely project your own discontent with Obama. I don't like him either, but seriously guys what world do you live in and how do we shut the door on it? This is fabricated rage.

Are you kidding me??? go back to Business school - you somehow missed your classes on how it all works - but considering you probably have Obama's poster over your bed and salute it every time you pass it- your reply on how it works is just what I thought it would be - you probably think the stimulus is working to.

Todd - I don't believe you. The way you have posted here regarding Bush it is obvious you did not wish him a glowing legacy. Give me a break! As far as my being unamerican you can think so if you wish. If I was I would praise O-Bow-Ma for his acts.

20 Years serving in the military of the greatest nation the world has ever known. I couldn't be prouder of my service and my country and what they have accomplished.
I couldn't be more disgusted, ashamed and embarassed of my Commander in Chief.
He does not represent me. I am a PROUD American military member. I bow to no country and no man. My wife maybe, but no Japanese Emperor

We should have political leaders like the Prime Minister in Australia.

"Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians'.

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'. 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'"

Does this mean those who want to live by anything in the Bible should also leave? Or is selling your daughter into sex slavery the American way?

While you're at it, maybe you should leave as well visitor2. It would be nice to have one less intolerant Christian Conservative in this country preaching the love of "God" and hate of Muslims, Jews, homosexuals, et al.

Lee Iacocca Says:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'stay the coarse'.

Stay the coarse? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone elses kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.

We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.

We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.

Our borders are like sieves.

The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem without a TELEPROMPTER. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on CNN will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.

If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell' em all we've had 'enough.'

It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!
