Due to mismanagement,ignorance,coupled with arrogance on our part the Chinese have rendered us helpless.They own us,so we cannot fight back.

So far the Republicans are just thrilled to death,but finally Obama is going into the lions den,laying the blame on those impeeding progress and it seems to be working.
Obama's numbers are going up and Republicans are being just a little more careful about what they say about him.

Several Republicans are sounding more moderate and are willing to work with him.

We can only wait and see if this works.Instead of appearing weak he is shown not to be afraid.He has the same meeting with Democrats today and it was televised.

I do hope he succeeds.
