Not exactly bosom buddies. The misguided left-wing anti-Obama propaganda has hit bottom quicker than the misguided Tea Bagger anti-Obama propaganda did.

posts of the last day or so, the same could be said about you, yes?

who determines the worth of a person based upon that person's approval of one's country or President?

regarding election outcomes. So it's not really surprising that there's some real distrust of the US there.

eom

Did you ever stop to think that Evo and other leaders like him might have good reason not to like Obama?

What..no more sarcasm emoticon? Just in case, yes, it was.

advisers?

more than one point of view. If all Obama is listening to is right wing advisers then I blame him for that.

You have to admit they are pretty intimidating.

do not recall any liberals or progressives in high-level positions in the Administration. Would personally have preferred the retired 4-star General Clark as Secretary of Defense rather than any Republican, but what do I know? Also was initially puzzled that Governor Dean had not been nominated to serve in a cabinet-level post, but again, what do I know? I do know for sure that the President has been screwed over by virtually every Republican in Washington and there is no Republican I would trust in any high-level position in government.

And his plane being diverted had everything to do with the ineptness of the Bolivian flight crew, and absolutely nothing to do with Obama & his advisers.

Try again.

appears O has carried on a number of shrubs worst programs, and even his crowning achievement is more of a win for insurance companies than consumers.

Dayum, the whole world thought he would be a huge improvement over shrub. In many ways, he's turned out worse. Really sucks that a holiday supposed to celebrate freedom is instead filled with disappointment and embarrassment for my country.

Obama isn't perfect but please explain how Bush would have been better than Obama about anything.

and our State Department is unhappy that he's not acting like a good lap dog to Uncle Sam. I think we have made a major political blunder with this move. We have succeeded in uniting South America against us with what is perceived as a disrespectful treatment of a head of a sovereign nation.

Things might start getting interesting.

The leaders involved were already united.

When no incitement is provided by external events, one is provided internally.

Still waiting to hear what actually happened. Apparently the denial of airspace by France was a late confirmation of approval. A rather different kind of thing. Then there was the plane-search that never actually happened but which might have happened.

Morales got a twofer out of that. First, outrage on his behalf by his defenders of the slight of having his plane searched. Then outrage at the idea that people --not his defenders, of course--would humiliate him by thinking he would allow such a thing.

Morales is funny. Easy to humiliate, sometimes by accident and misconstrual. But also quick to try to humiliate--which shows that he really doesn't get the dominant culture in the US or that he's simply playing to his base. Or both. (Which is my opinion--he's unable to think others might be different from himself or his view of them. On the other hand, he's a skilled politician and knows how to provoke his people to adulation.)

But this seals the deal. They will be very united from now on. Any petty squabbles about borders, resources and economic inequities will be set aside in order to defy American Imperialism. This is the last straw.

Actually, something you don't understand about South Americans is that respect for each other and especially a person of leadership is important. Americans like humiliating heads of state they don't like, but that's because most of them have no respect for themselves. Look how the Tea Party treats Obama, like he's not good enough to be our President.

That kind of disrespect does not happen in South America unless there is a coup and the deposed head of state gets killed. So when we bully a head of state like Chavez or Morales, it's not well received.

Because to be honest I am reading conflicting reports that the plane landed where they landed because they asked to land due to problems not because they were turned away.

came home and some (thank God a few) Americans treated him like trash. 9/11 happened and in my opinion they could have avioded it . .

But the one things I picked up from him to this day,

CHERISH YOUR FREEDOM. No country is like ours.

was a mistake. But "no country is like ours?" I am disappointed to see American exceptionalism pushed at DU. There certain;y is nothing exceptional about this country. We are worse off than most industrialized countries.

and yes, not like ours. France, UK, and even Brazil citizens feels the same way about their country. All the effing faults the USA have, I rather live here.

Sadly junior said and acted as if the Constitution, which he swore to preserve, protect, and defend, were just a piece of paper. His and continuing contempt for the Constitution, except for the sacrosanct 2nd Amendment, have prevailed in the guise of keeping us safe from terra, with trillions of dollars having been expended to keep us safe from that ubiquitous terra. In the meanwhile the infrastructure, the jobs market, and the standard of living for the masses, have gone to hell in a hand-basket. Moreover, thousands die on the streets, having been shot to death with largely unregulated hand-guns and military-grade assault weapons because, in America, the right to bear arms is considered by too many to be absolute and hysteria reigns when any attempt is made for sensible regulation. In this respect, American exceptional ism outshines the rest of the industrialized world.

At least he got a cheering crowd when he got home.

and I quote


"Control tower: Do you need any assistance?

Pilot: Not at this moment. We need to land because we cannot get a correct indication of the fuel indication so as a precaution we need to land."

So is that true? If so then is Morales claiming the US messed with the plane and if thats the case what evidence does Morales have to support that claim?

And even if it turns out that the US had nothing to do with it, there are people that would say it's still Obama's fault.

Sickening.

Ah yes...the "CONSPIRACY" Theories take hold.

South America...home to the hiding Nazis. What a great culture.

who protected the Nazi's.

Spoiler alert: Those people got rejected by the people of South America over the last twenty years, much to the Republicans chagrin.

Your chagrin too?

People like Morales were elected in direct response and protest of the fascists we propped up.


Maybe you should read a little and get out before looking like a racist xenophobic bigot.

if nothing else, it will be entertaining as hell when he reaches the arm flapping, frothing at the mouth stage.

to base a statement on except more lies.
