olivier in france

Not sure the Raiders should be ranked that high... Vikes and Skins (and i hate them!) fans could find their way in that list too IMO...

So true especially when you see how some graduates of Yale perform at their job...

Any guy who think Jimmy Carter is far-left is not living on the planet i live on!

can you read my last post again, please? i think you may have LIGHTLY misunderstood it!!!

yeah really funny

talking about blindness and ignorance you look like an expert that's sure!!

That may explain why in Cleveland they always talk about the F#&Ô@{ Indians !!

he JSP, the only time i have voted for the winner of the french election was the time i had the choice between Chirac and the fascist racist Le Pen! So well, i dont feel that responsible for the constant failure and decline of the french economy those last 35 years... and to answer to your question... i have no clue but that looks pretty deep ...

Well when you hit the bottom, there's only one way to go! More seriously, thanks god, it looks some of the main american economic players have opened their eyes and understood the economy is not just financial profits and speculation but has to be based on a real economic reality. It was about time!

Too bad it has not lasted longer the americans and the US economy as a whole 'd not be buried in tons of debt like it is now....

You're right. The only experienced guys to be President of the USA are Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Bush father and son (and any other living former prez i may have forgotten). NO job on Earth can give you any experience about what it's like to be the chief of the first power of this planet. So why don't we forget about that "experience" stuff for the rest of the campaign and focus on what those candidates want to do once elected?!!

Did not know the american ECONOMY had to recover from anything after 9/11...

Interesting post... Just wondering: if you're SURE Mc Cain 'd be mediocre President and NOT SURE about Obama, it is maybe worth the risk to bet on Obama no? In those times of crisis, it is maybe wiser to take risks than to go for a so so status quo... It looks to me America faces a "third down and 10 "and that's not the time to call a run in the middle ...

You're a Cubs fan?

Heu.... your "debate" about Obama and his work in the Congress leaves me a little stunned... Do you really consider the talent someone has or has not to write bills and laws makes him more or less competent to be the President of the USA? Last time i've checked nobody has ever asked a President to write any law...

sad you have kids with you cause this one is just perfect for a couple: http://www1.iha.fr/Chambres-d-hotes-bed-an...cik6Mh5,$e

I was quite surprised by her "attack dog with lipstick" description of herself... Do Americans really want an attack dog for VP?!

i heard Palin's speech this morning and was really surprised by her sarcastic, agressive tone. I know that to counter attack is the best way to defend but when its your own values and personnality that has been under siege like it has been the case those last few days, i don't think it's a good solution to use sarcasm, irony and agressivity. IMO she looked like the perfect "will do and say anything to win" phony politician.

"protection"? you start to sound like a frenchman! not a good sign!! It's when you start to want to "protect" what you are that you start to decline. What about trying to success, to win, to create, to gain market shares?!!

And what kind of trade partners are you gonna find who will accept to buy your goods without you buying their? While the US industry is yet not very efficient for exporting goods (even with the current low dollar), i can not imagine how bad it 'd become if you raised imports tariffs!

China isolationist?? an isolationist economy does not import NOR export. The success of China is based on occidental stupidity that has accepted china imports without the lowering of china import tariffs...

Open an history book and check what happened to all countries who have tried isolationism...

Don't know... but if you do that "selection" in France you cut the potential of "fit" presidents by 99%!!!

Ieatcrayonz is really TBD's court jester , the voice of reason through craziness

That story looks a lot more like "a conservative trying to sell Palin to libertarians" than a "libertarian view of Palin"!
