Obama Gets His Wish – America Is Nothing Special Anymore….Just One Mediocre Country Amongst All The Rest

Loading

Obama has gotten his wish.

His desire too see this once great nation as just one more mid-level player against all the other mid-level nations has come to fruition.

Rejoice Obama….your name will forever be associated with the fall of the American empire:

China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday.

Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.

“About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies,” Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.

The two countries were accustomed to using other currencies, especially the dollar, for bilateral trade. Since the financial crisis, however, high-ranking officials on both sides began to explore other possibilities.

The yuan has now started trading against the Russian rouble in the Chinese interbank market, while the renminbi will soon be allowed to trade against the rouble in Russia, Putin said.

“That has forged an important step in bilateral trade and it is a result of the consolidated financial systems of world countries,” he said.

No big deal eh?

Of course our trade deficit might be a thorn in the side especially when those bankers wake up and decide the dollars just isn’t acceptable payment anymore.

Future financial obligations now must be paid in Renminbis and Rubles, which you can purchase via the international monetary exchange, with gold, based on the exchange rate.

Gold you say? But we have all this newly printed money…you mean its worthless?

Your damn right its worthless….and if you think you’ve seen inflation just wait.

It’s going to see unheard of heights.

Ch-ch-change baby!

Obama and commies of the world unite, still commies.

Between them what 200 million died in the 20th century.

What’s really amazing is he did this in less then two years.

The Legacy, Punked on 3 Continents, so far, and a One Term POTUS!

What a great way to tax away any wealth all of the 1/4 of Americans have saved.
Yup.
Only fewer than 25% of Americans even have any savings to speak of.
Well, soon that cash will be worth less.
Maybe even worthless, if history is any lesson.
What a stupid, nearly permanent and universal way to deal with a mere temporary demographic bump called ”the baby boomers.”

Hey guys – you’re giving the a-hole TOTUS too much credit — HE WAS NOT ALONE

“His desire too see this once great nation as just one more mid-level player against all the other mid-level nations has come to fruition.”

Where on earth do you get this crap?

When the Dems took control of Congress two years before Obama, that began the decline.

Larry, from obama’s words and actions. You know, facts, proof, etc.

His problems are manyfold. He was NOT raised as an American, he considers a narrow margin as a Mandate and is an Economic Illiterate, an Affirmative Action College guy and has no concept of What He has Meddled with…but Loves the ability to do so.

Hyphenated American comments in 60 seconds… 😛 😛 😛

old trooper ditto

AND THEY WANT TO PASS THE BILL TO PREVENT SMALL GARDENERS TO PLANT AN COLLECT THEIR SEEDS AND GO TO THE MARKET TO SELL THEIR EXTRAS,
THIS, WHEN THE GARDENERS AND SMALL FARMS WILL NEED IT EVEN MORE,
AND THE PEOPLE WHO BUY FROM THEM ALSO,
WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THERE? THEY ARE AFRAID OF RABIT CONTAMINATION,
WHAT ABOUT THE OPEN BORDER FILTHY CONTAMINATION FROM ILLEGALS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT IS NOT ALL CLEANED,
WHAT ABOUT TSA POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION ?, RABIT LOGIC

The first thing that will happen with hyper inflation is a massive foreign influx of cash purchasing almost ALL of American Bricks and mortar properties, EG; office towers and large malls, plazas and residential housing as well as large corporations, especially companies that specialize in mineral and timber resources. Commodities as well Corn, beef soybeans etc. A giant rummage sale of American business to foreign sovereign wealth funds from China, Saudi Arabia and other nations with large trade surpluses. We will be totally screwed! I hope and pray this does not happen.

and if you think you’ve seen inflation just wait.

Really … High unemployment, banks aren’t tending, there are virtually no industries left in the USA, if anyone has money they are saving it, so the economy is a ‘flat tire’ …. and you’re worried about inflation!!! REALLY!!!

If the U$ decreases in value, the actual cost of the debt repayment goes down … You know the DEBT, the thing the the GOP are raging against as they try to drive it up with tax cuts for millionaires. Devaluation also stimulates production at home, as Made in USA goods become more competitive against imports.

And we haven’t even begun to talk about the Euro and the flight that’s going to happen from it, i.e Ireland, Greece Spain, etc. being effectively bankrupt. Where’s that $ going to go????

Deflation is still ‘THE’ threat. We are on Japan’s trajectory … remember Stagflation.

This current problem we are in is what Paul Krugman warned us about back in the 90’s, due to deregulation … And here we are! But I just can’t remember who said ‘Government’s the problem, so we gotta deregulate’!

This shit all started with Abraham Lincoln changing monetary policy in order to pay for the Civil War…and it has been going down hill ever since.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 sent it into high gear and set the stage for a major collapse.

Until the American people start to educate themselves about the history of money and make demands to restore the money system to the “Article I Section 10” requirements that the United States Constitution mandates…we will be on a path of destruction.

All of this hyperbole and rhetoric from self proclaimed experts is nothing more than “wet dream, wishful thinking” at best.

From 1884, this Supreme Court decision helped set the stage for what we have today.

http://supreme.justia.com/us/110/421/case.html

MR. JUSTICE FIELD, dissenting.

“From the decision of the Court I see only evil likely to follow. There have been times within the memory of all of us when the legal tender notes of the United States were not exchangeable for more than one-half of their nominal value. The possibility of such depreciation will always attend paper money. This inborn infirmity no mere legislative declaration can cure. If Congress has the power to make the notes a legal tender and to pass as money or its equivalent, why should not a sufficient amount be issued to pay the bonds of the United States as they nature? Why pay interest on the millions of dollars of bonds now due when Congress can in one day make the money to pay the principal? And why should there be any restraint upon unlimited appropriations by the government for all imaginary schemes of public improvement if the printing press can furnish the money that is needed for them?”

This is NOT over. First move is to flush the Soros billionaire club, Democracy Alliance out into the light. Then have ISSA investigate the Soros Center For America Destruction. The adults will be taking over the check book in Jan and can issue subpoenas. I suggest they start with commie van jones and center for american destruction employee. His and the Apollo Alliance marxists involvement in the 5 billion or more “green weatherization” projects should find significant fraud and club fed for all. Tom DeLay getting busted and prison time should have the lefties all wee,wee’ed up. They went through 900 billion. No accounting, till now. Should be interesting.

Just as John Carrie was North Vietnam’s hero, so Obama is Russia’s, China’s, North Korea’s, and the Islamic countries’ hero. He echoes the well known liberal peace slogan, “Peace Through Surrender.”

Curt,
You have to admit that Obama(actually the ones pulling his strings) has probably accomplished more in two years than any other president in their entire presidency. The problem is that his accomplishments are going in the wrong direction. Who would have thought that Russia and China could become allies? Only a Nobel Peace Prize winner could have done that.

Don’t worry about inflation. As long as we have trees we can print all of the money we need.

Just for my curiosity… If the only way your neighbor can keep the water running, the heat on and food on his table is by borrowing money from YOU, year after year… and his house is falling apart… and his kids education is abysmal when compared to other kids… and he has NO PLAN for EVER turning this situation around…

…How do you NOT crack-up laughing when he keeps insisting he is “exceptional”?

Egypt, Greece, Rome, Great Briton and a long list of other former empires RIGHTLY WERE exceptional… in their time. They lost the right to continue to be so the way we are losing ours. They basked in yesterday while EVERYBODY else concentrated on tomorrow. Pride comes before…

Mrs. N

@Mrs. Neutron: #17

Minor correction: Pride GOETH before…

Ain’t you glad we have the leadership that can lead us out of this mess? Ha ha.

Smorgasbord,

I think it is both dangerous and counterproductive to blame “our” predicament simply on “leadership”. NOBODY can lead where people are culturally forbidden to follow!

For a better understanding of what I mean by that I suggest you visit the Garage.

American Exceptionalism

Don’t be afraid.

Mrs. N

Mrs. Neutron: hi, I find your blog very smart, IF I may ad my bit to it,would be
that I the exceptionalistic view to my mind is concentate on the right side of THE
POLITIC PARTYS, where your views analyse the whole mass of people in AMERICA,
TURN OUT TO BE QUITE ADEQUATE:
BUT THE CONSERVATIVES ARE A FORCE TO NEVER UNDERESTIMATE AS TO THEM BEING ABLE TO RECLAIM AND RESTORE THE STATUE OF THIS AMERICA BEING SUPER POWER
SUPER TOLERANT OF THE FORCES OF THE NEGATIVES IN THE WORLD ,
AND THEREFOR ABLE TO PRESERVE THE EXCEPTIONALISTIC OF THIS MAGNIFICENT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITH CONSTANT WATCH ON THOSE WHO TRY
TO MINIMISE HER STATUE IN THE WORLD,

I love bees……

I live in an ultra Conservative County in Central Virginia. Obama is a “cuss word”. We are overwhelmingly Christian and Fundamentalist at that. 37% of the people in my County LIVE OFF A GOVERNMENT CHECK. Less than one third of the High School graduates even APPLY to college. 5000 people go to High School football games and almost nobody to a Board of Education meeting.
While the Chinese and Indians are graduating between 100 and 200 engineers and scientists to our ONE… Virginia elected a Governor who “believes” that the earth is 6000 years old and that human children once played with dinosaurs.
No disrespect intended, but, I would have to be OUT OF MY MIND to think a party that elects people like that to power spells anything but THE END of the America I love.

I LIVE in the middle of CONSERVATIVE America and it is a Chinese businessman’s DREAM COME TRUE!

Mrs. N

Mrs. Neutron, we will have to believe tha 2012, will unleach the power to get
our smart people like you right there on a demolition’s job, in a jiffy.
so while the other part start to rebuild not from scratchs, but from the CONSTITUTION’S RULES,
THEY KNOW AND YOU KNOW WHAT TO HOPE FOR, AND HOW THAT HARD WORK MUST BE DONE
BYE

I should ad that, THE SPIRIT OF THE REAL AMERICANS MUST BE KEPT HIGH,
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT SHOULD BE ALLOWED, THIS A TIME FOR SELF MENTAL STRENGHTENING
I THINK MORE THAN EVER, AND THAT WILL BE THE RESULT OF GETTING BACK
WHAT YOU DESERVE AND CHERISH IT, FOR MANY LIFETIMES

@Mrs. Neutron: #19

The actual quote is, “Pride goeth before destruction.” You might want to change that.

I have only lately heard of the term “American exceptionalism.” The Oxford American Dictionary defines exceptional as:

exceptional |ikˈsep sh ənəl|
adjective
unusual; not typical : crimes of exceptional callousness and cruelty.
• unusually good; outstanding : a pepper offering exceptional flavor and juiciness.

Our country did not start out as an “unusually good” country. Look what we did to the Native Americans after they helped our ancestors survive the cold Winters they were not used to, the Blacks we brought over as slaves, the Chinese we brought over to build the Transcontinental Railroad, then wouldn’t give them any other jobs, and other ways we used outsiders.

Eventually, somewhere, we did gain some moral values and most of us told ourselves that these things ain’t right. We still have problems in the moral area. As I have mentioned different times, can anyone name one TV show or movie where sex isn’t EXPECTED on the first date?

I’m glad that my kids are grown up and I worry about the moral, or lack of, my grandkids will be learning, or not learning. Our kid’s shows are even going into brainwashing our kids away from having ANY moral values. I see too many stories where even video games are REWARDING bad behavior.

We are still an “exceptional” country in the sense that most people would want to live here if they knew of all of the freedoms we have, or should I say before Obama, and no other county has had as many people go there just to be FREE and not live in fear. It was ALWAYS the USA that people looked to for FREEDOM, before Obama.

American history is separated into two time zones: BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini–Used to indicate that a date comes the specified number of years after the accepted date of Christ’s birth). I always thought it meant “After Death.” I learned something today. Sometimes, as my kids would leave for school, I would tell them, “Learn something today.”

We now can use a third one term: AO (After Obama) The date the USA started turning into a socialist, communist, or Islamic state. It depends on which one wins. Maybe they all will get together and just carve us up like a Thanksgiving turkey. Who gets the drumstick?

SMORGASBORD, HI, AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SEE THE SADNESS OF AMERICANS WHO FEEL AND KNOW FOR SURE THAT SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG, AND THE FEELING THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IS EXCRUCIATING FOR MANY,TO HAVE TO ACCEPT A SITUATION
LIKE THERE IS NO SOLUTIONS ON SIGHT, IS THE WAITING NOT WORTH BETTER THAN THE TRYING BY OTHER MEANS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE WAITING SEEMS MORE POSSIBLE AS WE SAW THE POTENTIAL COMING IN NOVEMBER 2ND.
SO LETS PREPARE FOR THE MAGNIFICENT JOYFULL PARTY OF 2012 INSTEAD OF JUST WAITING IN SADNESS, IT WILL BE WORTH WHILE AND THE WHOLE WORLD IS JOINING US FOR
THIS PARTY, FOR THE YOUNGS, BE THEM STUDENTS OR OTHER ALONG WITH ALL AMERICANS.

BYE

I see, Ms. Neutered. Because you live in an area you consider backward and ignorant, then everyone who supports that party must be the same hence your need to force us to see things your way. Talk about dogma…
You are a flaming elitest snob so trapped in your ideology that you haven’t a clue as to how big a snob you are. Let me explain for you and others who may somehow not see it.

Less than one third of the High School graduates even APPLY to college.

OMG, what peasants! How horrible! I’ll tell the millionaire plumber nearby what an idiot he is because he didn’t go to college.

5000 people go to High School football games and almost nobody to a Board of Education meeting.

How dare they want to be entertained rather than waste their time talking to liberals who will likely ignore them anyway. Maybe they understand that until we break the monopoly the left has on education there is very little thay can do. You also ignore the possibility that they work closely with their kids at home on their schoolwork.

While the Chinese and Indians are graduating between 100 and 200 engineers and scientists to our ONE

We can thank our public school system that is dominated by liberals for that one. We spend more per student than we ever have and the results are still abysmal. The decline started at about the time the left took them over. Coincidence? No.

Virginia elected a Governor who “believes” that the earth is 6000 years old and that human children once played with dinosaurs.

While I strongly disagree with such a belief, I can overlook that. Especially if they do a good job as Govenor and don’t force that to be taught as science. I also understand that such a view would be no reflection upon the people who put him in office in that instance.

I LIVE in the middle of CONSERVATIVE America and it is a Chinese businessman’s DREAM COME TRUE!

Ah yes, all those stupid peasants would be great for an exploitive Chinese businessman.
So in one post you express contempt even hatred for those you see as inferior to you and disdain for Capitalism. Yet you look away from what the socialists are doing. You are truly a sickening individual.

@ilovebeeswarzone: #25

As I have mentioned before, I am one of the reasons this country is in the mess that we are because I spent most of my life not following politics. Our propaganda media down here tells us what the liberal democrats what us to hear.

I believe they COULD have been infiltrated by one or more foreign countries or people like George Soros who have the money to take over companies, or a little of both. The USA does the same thing if they want to have a country overthrown without firing a shot. Russia has been doing the same thing to us for years. China now has the financing to do the same thing, and we are giving them the money to do it.
