Who here lives in the states? I do. Obama's a bit slow on the reform.

Datsyuk & Apollo live in the US too. So do many other members whose names I don't currently remember. Anyway, what do you Americans think about Obama allegedly 'bowing' to the Saudi King?

He wasn't bowing. He was ducking in case someone threw a shoe.

See, when the Saudi King came to visit our Queen, we did this (first 40 seconds only) to him. Are we not awesome?

See, I admire her writing more than her thinking.
You've seen my political compass, she didn't exactly turn be into an objectivist.
I'm willing to listen to anything, but I'm definitely more conservative than liberal.

And so what if President Obama bowed to the Saudi King? He was greeting him. F[au]ox news made such a big deal about it. I wanted to bash my TV in with a sledgehammer.

Fox does one of two things:
1) Lies
2) Worms "big news stories" out of the smallest, most menial things

Par for the course for news nowadays.
Why I watch less and less of TV news.
My 'rant's on Ayn Ran are mostly in teh what are you reading one.
I just think people should read the three books, they're awesome.
Least Anthem's short.
And as for the bowing, I see nothing wrong with it.
And, as usual, dad couldn't come up with a good reason.
Oops, family matters there.
Ah well.

Yeah, I think they (read media) are making a fuss out of nothing too. They always do that.

Only half? I was thinking more like 9/10th. And then they think they are very justified in attacking other people.
