Out of the many posts that I have written expressing contempt with the Obama administration. I will give credit to President Obama where credit is due.
On April 20th this year, President Obama ordred US embass. to UN to boycott the(which incidentally, every known western countries had walked out as well) "International Racism Conference." In a letter he expressed regret but stated; "that US will not join any meeting which its sole purpose is to accuse and attack Israel..."
Even though, President Obama ran around later apologizing his butt off to the UN, but nevertheless, I will "COMMEND" President Obama for making the right decision for once.

Come to think of it that China may be a narcisstst nowaday which is not fit in this world of common wealth.
I thought...I could be wrong but, under the communist(socialist) Maoist regime everyone already has health coverage?..sort of?...Maybe?...or were they just pretending that they did?
The third cartoon however, could be a great satire reflecting Obama's rhetoric on health care reform here in the US.
I believe I have written the following post awhile back since I have labeled dated and stored it in my lap top. But nevertheless, here is how I feel about the whole national health care thingy...
Everyone...welcome to the Era of Obama. You now have a duty to die.
I'm not saying that someday you will die (that's a given).
And I'm not saying that you should be given the "right to die" - - the freedom to take your own life, or to direct your Doctor to put you out of your misery - - that's something entirely different.
I'm saying that someday, if current trends continue, your United States Government will determine that you have a "duty," an obligation, to die.
It’s bad enough that hundreds of congressional members voted to spend nearly one trillion of our dollars, without even reading the so-called "economic stimulus bill" and without knowing fully what our money is being spent on. It’s even more horrific to know that more of our tax dollars are being allocated to the Office Of Health Information and Technology, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, and that the bill also provides for the beginnings of a nationwide "health records database" that will track the healthcare of every person in the country.
Very recently, President Obama was praising the nationalization of health records, and the "conversion" of health records to electronic formats, noting that managing electronic data is less costly than managing hardcopy documents. But unfortunately, the creation of a nationalized health records database also creates another means of "cost cutting" - - namely, the denial of medical treatments to severely ill and elderly patients.
Language in the health care sections of the "stimulus bill" stipulates that the Department of H.H.S. will provide "appropriate information to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care," and also allows for "penalties" to be assessed to physicians who "spend too much" on individual patients. Essentially, we now have the beginnings of a governmental agency that eventually will, by force of law, determine which persons will be eligible for health care, and what treatment they will receive.
Western Europe’s utopian ambitions to "insure everbody" and make healthcare "free" have by no means been realized. In fact, the nationalizing of healthcare in Europe has led to worsening government deficit, and increased healthcare costs, and efforts to contain those costs have resulted in the denial of treatment to those persons not expected to live much longer - - that is, the elderly and the seriously ill.
This "need" to deny people health care has frequently, in Europe, been cast in terms of one’s "duty to die." The idea is that, once you have lived "long enough;" after you have consumed your "fair share" of the earth’s resources; and when your combined age and health conditions make it "obvious" that further efforts to prolong your life just simply "aren’t worth it;" you will then have a responsibility to accept these consequences, and to accept that you’ll just have to get along without life-sustaining healthcare.
IN OTHER WORDS, ONCE A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE HAS DETERMINED THAT SPENDING HEALTHCARE RESOURCES ON YOU WILL NOT PRODUCE MUCH OF A "RETURN ON INVESTMENT", YOU WILL THEN HAVE "A DUTY TO DIE"
If Americans continue voting for "more government" as a means to "cure" all our societal ills, we will continue to move closer to the point where anonymous government bureaucrats determine when you have lived "long enough," when you have consumed your "fair share" of resources, and when it is "obvious" that you won’t live much longer.
President Obama and the Democrat party Congress are determined to take us to this point.
What I am about to say is of course as always, offensive to some readers...it is not for the light hearted.
The way I see this is; there are three reasons motivate the tech giants to use their political clout and political action committee contributions to increase H-1Bs:
1. Cost-cutting: H-1B visa holders are paid much less than Americans.
2. The influx of H-1B visa holders depresses the "prevailing wage" for all computer techies and engineers.
3. The hiring of H-1B visa holders prevents potential competition from Americans who might choose to work for other firms or start companies of their own.
Research by professor Norman Matloff of the University of California Davis confirms that there is no shortage of U.S. engineers or computer techies. If there were a shortage, salaries would be going up, but starting salaries for bachelor's degree graduates in computer science and electrical engineering, adjusted for inflation, are flat or falling.
A study by the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University also found that there is no shortage of U.S. engineers. Eighty percent of respondents to a Pratt survey say U.S. engineering jobs are filled within four months, and 88 percent didn't offer signing bonuses.
Do we actually really need more cheap labors from other countries?
thank you for saving me from 中國永不稱霸？as well as 成龍：中國人是需要管的 of WJ Blog...was getting really tired of stating and restating myself over and over again from other readers
Good to see your "刁觀點"時事畫評" again, and welcome back...hope you had a nice vacation.
哈哈... now, are you saying our neighbors are beggars or Obama is giving money way regardless if our neighbors are asking for it or not? There is a difference there...
There is something curious about the frenetic pace of the 44th president's foreign trips this month. Not since the summer of 1998 has an American president made so many dashes abroad. Have any of the sleuths in the Washington press corps checked on President Obama's relations with his interns? I josh, but his energetic globe-trotting is unusual, given his obligations at home. Here we are struggling with recession and a sour banking system. The Prophet Obama adds to them the most colossal domestic package since the New Deal, whereupon he hastens off to Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Mexico. Increasingly, it appears that the Prophet Obama is conducting not so much a presidency as a world tour. He left for London April 2 and hit Strasbourg, Baden-Baden, Prague, Istanbul and Iraq, and he returned on April 8. Eight days later, he went off to Mexico and then Trinidad, returning to his empty White House April 19. What will be next for our restless president, Disneyland?
Hearing this president run down America, you would think it was a failed state until he was transformed from junior senator of Illinois to president of the United States. He has surpassed Jimmy Carter's precedent of being the first ex-president to criticize a sitting president while on foreign soil. President Obama has become the first sitting president to criticize America while on foreign soil, and he does it with the practiced zeal of a person who has been feeding on anti-American myths for years.
During his visit with President Chavez, President Obama received from his new amigo a copy of the virulently anti-American book "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent." As the book, abounding with exaggeration and arrant falsehoods, appeared in the early 1970s, I would not be surprised if the president already had a copy. Doubtless, he heard similar anti-American canards during the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's (his former pastor) anti-American rants. Certainly, our president's friend Bill Ayers, alumnus of the Weather Underground, believes every word in "Open Veins." Its anti-Americanism was at the heart of the New Left back in the days of the Cold War. Its thesis is that Europe and America have exploited Latin America for centuries, leaving it impoverished and governed by corrupt leaders.
Now, of course, Latin America has such democratic exemplars as Presidents Chavez and Castro, as well as Nicaragua's president, Daniel Ortega, and Bolivia's Evo Morales. So maybe good government is at hand for Latin America. Possibly, it is only a matter of time before these political geniuses return Latin America to the glory of the Incas and the Aztecs. Perhaps President Obama, too, can succeed in bringing civilization to America. Meanwhile, think of all the frequent flier miles he is accumulating.
That is all I have time for today...and as usual, more are coming...hahahahaha...
Sans aim to acquire ,to accomplish, to conquer.
Metaphisical impromptu journey can be real and enjoyable ,and there is no abode to reside,nor work chores to return to.
If Jr means junior....hmmm,
Yes, life is an unending journey, agreed, but it is time to come back to work, we miss you.
2. TO Mr.Jr: Life is a no-ending journey.......
Obama；healthcare；rehashed stuffs。
Sorry！No interest and no comment。
I want go back to news。

They carry knives and dislike being criticized.
