The USA has imposed & enforced many boycotts, embargoes & denials of foreign aid. It did this to force other nations to do things our way, or else. All these years, we've been forced to pay too much for sugar (and stuff made with it) because Congress made Cuba stop selling sugar to us. I think one or 2 companies have a monopoly on the pineapple market. For decades, United Fruit exclusively sold crops from Banana Republics; That company was founded with jesuit money. When Reagan was President, he illegally sold arms to Iran & sent profit money to the Contras in Nicaragua. They battled the Socialist Sandinistas. They were named for the Sandino brothers, shot by Catholic dictator Somoza because they organized against United Fruit that sweated labor there. We have many trade treaties that favor some nations and harm others. We just had a taxpaid Socialist bailout of banks, carmakers & others. We did the same for Chrysler a few years ago. We have a purposely UNPLANNED economy. That way, there are opportunities for corruption at all levels. Like Teapot Dome. Theft of offshore oil concessions, etc. The flawed system makes inevitable the booms and busts of capitalism. I lost half my stock value in the Crash of 1987.

You want us Americans to accept your health plan and You yourself are exempt as well as congress. So I ask you, why are you not part of the healthcare plan you are so eager to sell? Obama You are a joke and a complete fraud. How dare you remove or cover God before you give a speech. May God deal with You Swiftly and Accordingly. Have You forgotten 9/11? Oh, I forgot you're too busy shaking hands with the enemy and letting them into America on a free ticket that we Americans will pay for. You wonder why some American's don't vote or continue to throw their hands in the air? It because the government is completely currupt. Keep talking about change, start right where you stand.

I,m not a Republician, a Democratic, or a Independent...I'm an American. I vote for the best person running according to my views. After all, I'm who counts. I'm very sad today as I think of the lost opportunities and the lack of honest decisions made by our leaders. I believe that Martin Luther King was correct ...judge people by their character ...not by the color of their skin. We are in big trouble and I don't see a leader to get us out of it. Everyone is out for SELF. I'm for starting all over...everyone out and let's try again.
