I think Zippo will find himself alone in declaring war on China over $$$$. At one time I advocated going to war with China to free Tibet – that made and still makes, more sense than attacking Iraq and Afghanistan.

Their navy would be on the bottom in a few days tops as it is now. You are correct however in that we are out of money and they are not. So not suggesting a war… suggesting we have some advantages remaining but not for long. Thank you so much all you weak leaders of the past 30 years.

China has 144 ocean going vessels and is building dozens while we are not.

Too bad we keep electing these whimps that pandor to anyone who so much as grunts at them. China will have the upper hand all around in about ten years… American will then export it’s natural resources on the cheap and all these kids who are experts at computer games, but can’t read or write, will be the labor in the mines. Your pension and free health care will be underfunded.

The hardest part of their job here in America is they need to run for election over and over. They’d like to put a stop to that.

Press conference ??? I wasn’t aware that he had EVER been questioned by the press.

Stop checking up on him while he’s at a senior center! Senior Center people! jeez.

LOL I wish they still did the verbatim transcripts…I would’ve loved the scoop on that one.

2 1/2 yeras ago he campaigned touting “107 acres of new parks”. Reality? Not ONE blade of grass was sewn.
Press conference after the last failure of our now famous hole in the ground. “It is too bad this didn’t come together, but there are 2 or 3 developers just waiting to take over” Reality? Go downtown and look! YUP! It’s still there over two years later.
I can go on all night but in the interest of space…..
