Bowing before the King, he needs to learn protocol. Who the hell is advising him? Obama

I didn't realize you were a British, Commonwealth or Russian citizen...
You do realize that the number of British military deaths in the war were 90%
as high as US deaths and total British deaths were almost 10% higher than
total US deaths. Those numbers are dwarfed by the numbers of Russian deaths.

He's the most intelligent president you've had in the last 28 years and the

Yes Im over here and a Brit,
So were eternally grateful for your efforts in 1914/18 and 1939/45

So when you chose to go to Iraq and Afganistan we were therefor you.
Despite the fact were a fraction of the size of the USA.
Long may it continue.
Now back to "if you had his job"
Your new President has been given a very bitter drink to go with his
new job.
Wars no one wanted, Militant Islam, and a financial meltdown caused by
your Bankers greed.
So how would you deal with these?
Your President is trying veryhard to unite everyone toward solving
these problems so give him a chance to get it right.
If all you can do is complain and havent make any useful suggestions
then shut up.
Your just making his job harder.
Would you want that if you had his job?
Theres only one way to get out of this political and economic mess.
Thats to pull together, work hard, create wealth toward a better future

3 officers killed in Pittsburgh shooting
By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI, Associated Press Writer Ramit Plushnick-
masti, Associated Press Writer
42 mins ago
PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh police say a man wearing a bulletproof vest
opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call, killing
three of them.
Police chief Nate Harper says the motive for Saturday's shooting isn't
clear. Friends say the gunman recently had been upset about losing his
job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban
guns.
The three dead officers are Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul
Sciullo III. Kelly had been on the force for 14 years and the other
two only two years each. Another officer was shot in the hand and a
fifth broke his leg on a fence.
The gunman, 23-year-old Richard Poplawski, was arrested after a four-
hour standoff.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further
information. AP's earlier story is below.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man opened fire on officers during a domestic
disturbance call Saturday morning, killing three of them, a police
official said. Friends said he recently had been upset about losing
his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban
guns.
Neighbors described how a quiet street in the city's Stanton Heights
neighborhood turned into a battlefield with hundreds of rounds
cracking through the morning air and fallen police officers lying
bleeding in the street, their colleagues unable to reach them.
Three officers were killed, said a police official at the scene who
spoke on condition of anonymity because was not authorized to talk to
the media. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard would only say that at
least five officers were wounded, but wouldn't give any other details.
Friends identified the suspect as Richard Poplawski, 23, but police
would not immediately confirm his name. The gunman was arrested after
a four-hour standoff, police said.
The shooting occurred just two weeks after four police officers were
fatally shot March 21 in Oakland, Calif., in the deadliest day for
U.S. law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001. The officers were the first
Pittsburgh city officers to die in the line of duty in 18 years.
Neighbors said the shooting began at about 7 a.m. and that two
officers were shot almost immediately.
"When I looked down I saw two police officers laying in the street,"
said Don Sand, who lives across the street and was awoken by the sound
of gunfire.
A short time later, more officers, SWAT teams and other law
enforcement arrived and a third officer was shot, Sand said.
"They couldn't get the scene secure enough to get to them. They were
just lying there bleeding," Sand said. "By the time they secured the
scene enough to get to them it was way too late."
Gail Moschetti, who lives diagonally across the street from the
Poplawski house, said she heard hundreds of shots as she and her
husband took refuge in their basement. Tom Moffitt, 51, a city
firefighter who lives two blocks away, said he came to the scene and
heard "hundreds, just hundreds of shots."
Police planned to release more details at a mid-afternoon news
conference Saturday.
Edward Perkovic said Poplawski, his best friend, feared "the Obama gun
ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed
upon." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said Poplawski feared that
President Barack Obama was going to take away his rights, though he
said he "wasn't violently against Obama."
Perkovic, 22, said he got a call at work from him in which he said,
"Eddie, I am going to die today. ... Tell your family I love them and
I love you."
Perkovic said: "I heard gunshots and he hung up. ... He sounded like
he was in pain, like he got shot."
Vire, 23, said Poplawski once had an Internet talk show but that it
wasn't successful. Vire said Poplawski had an AK-47 rifle and several
powerful handguns, including a .357 Magnum.
Another friend, Joe DiMarco, said Poplawski had been laid off from his
job at a glass factory earlier this year. DiMarco said he didn't know
the name of the company, but knew his friend had been upset about
losing his job.
The last Pittsburgh police officers killed in the line of duty were
Officers Thomas L. Herron and Joseph J. Grill, according to a Web site
that tracks police killings. They died after their patrol car collided
with another vehicle while chasing a stolen car on March 6, 1991.
According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 133
law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in 2008, a 27
percent decrease from year before and the lowest annual total since
1960.
Poplawski had often fought with neighbors and had even gotten into
fistfights with a couple, Sand said.
"This is a relatively really quiet neighborhood except for him," Sand
said. "He was just one of those kids that we knew to stay clear
from."
Rob Gift, 45, who lives a block away, said the well-kept single-family
houses with manicured lawns are home to many police officers,
firefighters, paramedics and other city workers.
"It's just a very quiet neighborhood," Gift said.

No, they are doing the most dangerouas work, in the most dangerous
area (Handahar) of the country - where France, Germany, and the other

Militant Islam has been around for a while. Bush took his stand, we await how Obama takes
his stand.
No one sane wants war. War is the destruction of potential and past productivity.
That bankers greed should be coupled with politicans greed. One was enabled by the other.

I've been rather standoffish giving him time. A bit of feedback though telling him that
that dog doesn't hunt is feedback. I'm sure you are aware of the political practice of
sending up a trial balloon to test the waters. How is those waters tested unless push

Define "quickly".
The same could be said in an alternate universe where the
Bolshevik Soviet Union didn't last "Lenin and that philosophy would

Unfortunately, Hitler lead a party called "The German Worker's
