Obama the hippocrit
Discussion
So, the Churchill hating scum has the temerity to criticise the Chinese for their human rights record and currency manipulation (ignoring their own intervention in the USD) , and then agrees a $45billion trade deal...wow, what a man of principles.

Obama?President Obama, strengthened by his adjustment to Republican gains and his response to the Tucson shootings, approaches next week's State of the Union address with renewed political momentum, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
The poll found that Obama's job approval rating has rebounded to 53 percent from 45 percent last month.
It also shows that he approaches upcoming fights with Republicans in Congress benefitting from greater public confidence in his ability to find common ground than his partisan adversaries enjoy.
For his Jan. 25 speech to Congress, "he will walk into the hall with a great deal of confidence and the wind at his back," said Peter Hart, the Democratic pollster who conducts the NBC/WSJ survey with Republican counterpart Bill McInturff. "The last six weeks has been the best six weeks the president has had" since his first year in office.
For Republicans, McInturff added, it was been a "short honeymoon" since they won control of the House and gained strength in the Senate in November's mid-term elections. Not only do a plurality of Americans regard the GOP negatively, but 55 percent predict that Congressional Republicans will be "too inflexible" in dealing with the president. That gives Obama added leverage, since just 26 percent predict Obama will be too inflexible.
Part of Obama's new strength with the public comes from the compromises he struck with Republicans over tax cuts and other issues in the lame-duck session of Congress late last year. Among other effects, the poll showed, the proportion of Americans describing Obama as "liberal" shrank to 45 percent from 55 percent one year ago; the proportion describing him as "moderate" increased to 40 percent from 30 percent.

The majority of the electorate might just be stupid enough; they fell for the "yes, we can" crap, after all.
Let me introduce you to my bumper sticker (Even if it's on the back window)
Of course there's a saying... "It takes a Carter to get a Reagan".
Excellent cartoon in our local german rag this morning...

Sums it all up really... Ohbummer never was and never will be any good for the US (apart from having got rid of Bush Jr)!
