The Obama Years- A GOP love story

[CRedskinsRule]

If you don't want to argue trade deficits, you should take note of the international attempt of the brics nations to remove the position of the dollar. Russia has taken the ruble back to a gold standard and is talking about only selling oil in rubles. China has enough US Treasury notes to force quite a run if they were to demand repayment instead of floating new loans.

When we as US citizens think of the world we are in some ways similar to Marie Antoinette (or Marie Therese if some accounts are believed) when she uttered her line "Let them eat cake". Meaning we really don't see the world as other countries view it. For example, while I think the ice bucket challenge was for a great cause, I know I saw one tweet of unique pain showing a group doing the ice bucket challenge juxtaposed with a group of African children holding out hands for drops of safe drinking water.
Also, not everyone is striving to follow in the US style of government more than half of the foreign leaders have never considered putting themselves out of a job at the whim of their populace and consider the US style folly.

To reference G1: I would like the leadership of the US to behave like they understand the nature of this world and not like we are all one group hug (or on the other side one new advanced weapon) away from utopia.
