President Bush Interview with Matt Lauer

[klein]

I wouldn't call it comming home empty handed :

US President Barack Obama already has something to show for his visit to India, the first stop on a 10-day, four nation Asian tour that also takes in Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia.
Meetings with Indian business leaders have led to some 20 deals for a combined value of some 10 billion dollars, a package Obama said meant 50,000 American jobs. He also called on India to lower barriers to foreign investors, especially in the retail sector.

Be sure to subtract the, at least, 2 Billion dollars that this trip is costing us the taxpayers. Taking 3,000 people on a business trip with you and blocking out the Taj Majal is just rubbing it in the face of the voters now.

That's still an $8 billion win. And you're going to complain about that?

bbsam,
Who will track the so called 8 billion dollar win and the 50,000 jobs ?
Lets hope its not saved or created Joe Biden or shovel ready Obama !!!

Island, did you run out of hyphens?

Hey, island, it's not my numbers. I just did the quick math. Smart of me, no?

 

[moreluck]

It's like when you're NOT selling your house .....the worth is only on paper. All those jobs or whatever are all just on paper now. Again, I will believe it when I see it. Been lied to in the past 2 years and now I'm skeptical.

 

[bbsam]

You've probably been lied to for 50 years but decide what to believe and what not to believe.

some people actually believe this stuff oblivious to the point that the unemployment rate stays at a reported 9.6 percent and actually much higher when you include everyone that has given up looking.

America has such short attention spans. It has been only two years since GWB left office doesn't anyone remember the USELESS Iraq war he led us into? Not only trillions of dollars of spending (seems the Tea Party and GOP anthem) but countless lives cut short based on lies. And he calls himself a Christian? Isn't there a commandment "Thou shalt not kill"?
The draw down and withdrawl was one of Obama's campaign promises that got him elected and he is keeping it. Veteran's Day was only last week. I read many posts on BC thanking our troops. My hope to thank and honor our brave men and women is by bringing them home and only sending them out to protect us again from attack. The offense is a good defense.
People used to say GWB was guy they would like to have a beer with. Me? I want to have a beer every service person I see. That's my way of honoring our Vets.
Looking forward to seeing you Stateside

Living in the past fun??? I choose to live in the present and looking toward the future without Obama!!

 

[browndevil]

The thought of living without a Mom, Dad seems like a living hell everyday. Living without Obama? You will have to wait until 2016. Any thoughts on who the GOP plans on running in 2012?..............crickets...............

Maybe you should look at the Wall Street Journal, or next week on Boeings website ?
Fox news really doesn't cover that much. Trust me, I tried watching it. Too much garbage on it for me.



New Delhi: US aircraft manufacturer Boeing on Tuesday said it will start delivery of ‘787 Dreamliners’ to Air India by second quarter of next year.
SpiceJet will buy 30 B737 planes from Boeing in a deal worth $2.7 billion, which is the part of $10 billion business deal sealed during US President Barack Obama’s visit in Mumbai.
Keskar said Boeing has a total supply backlog of 100 aircraft to Jet Airways, Air India and Spicejet.
This backlog worth $15 billion will be cleared in the next four to five years, he said.

Come Feb. I think there will be several candidates to consider and they will narrow it down to one later on.

We've probably been lied to for 50 years (actually much more) but decided to believe and what not to believe based on the lie most convenient yet seems to empower us over others.

Yeah, that works much better!

 

[bbsam]

Yeah, that works much better!

Just like a libertarian. I get a great post and you have to come along, tweak it ever so slightly, knowing that that's what I had in mind all along and then you look so much more the enlightened! God, how I hate you sideline bomb throwers!

If you're going to blame bush for what Obama inherited then you also have to conceed that the Iraq war was over and already winding down when Bush handed over the reins.

I would think you would then have to conceed that removing the troops from one war and moving them to another is not really what he promised.

I just hope we get back to the bush economy of 2006 and 2007 so I can actually think about retiring some day.

 

[wkmac]

LOL at bbsam! Hey, the world is so much better when you have such good, caring friends like me who always has your back!

 

[island1fox]

Island, did you run out of hyphens?

Ups,
Everyone should cut back on something !!!

Ah ----- what the hell -----I can afford it ------
