I read(newspaper) that Hilary Clinton will be soon stepping down as the US Foreign Secretary with a possible run for the next American Election on the horizon for her. Don't you love America, one marathon Election Presidential Campaign finished and another starts John Kerry and a Susan Rice who is believed to be Obama choice were mentioned as her possible replacement. We know all about Kerry from his failed run for the President this side of the pond but does anyone know anything about Rice?

Politics, the same crap everywhere , load of shite, same the world over, we are all played by politicians ,to be honest, we elect them, (well not me, lol, )and find out they're all the same it's more about them lining their pockets than anything to do with what's best for the man in the street or what's best for the country. I am sick of politics period!

I would prefer someone other than Rice or Kerry was picked for this position. The constant mud slinging will just increase if either of them is nominated. Personally I'm sick of hearing about it. Rice lost credibility when she continued to deny the attacks was a terrorist attack. (although I'm not sure that was her fault.) Kerry is just annoying. There has to be someone that everyone (or at least most) will be ok with.

Not the President.They totally underestimate this man.Every time I see any sign of a political item on tv in future.I will change stations.I am sick to death of this shit.
ed, there are only two things that concern countries....they either sell......or buy....
it is the job of the execute to make sure the country sells as much as it buys (or more if possible).....a simple fact that most western countries have forgotten..Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!

who refuse to play by the rules.What our spineless governments need to do is slap an import tax on every piece of garbage shipped from these countries,in order to level the playing field.I have a policy of looking at labels,and refusing to buy if it's not made in North America or Europe.Even a lot our vegetables are produced under dubious circumstances in China and elsewhere.Read your labels.

i do not take sides in politics....but criticise the actions and the results of those actions.......
money talks.....but that also applies to the least well off citizens......
one of the main reasons for the decline in the west.....is our desire to be static........there maybe plenty of jobs in london but many unemployed miles away......that applies to every western country....
the emerging economies do not have that problem.......millions still floct to the centres of employment.....
as we cannot force private companies to locate where we would like them to be.....that remains a problem......
but, we can use tarriffs...to even up overseas trade......used wisely they can be a good tool......
it causes rises in some prices........but if you are earning you can afford such rises......Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!
