BBC World News America Ted Koppel joins Matt Frei to discuss the economic and political implications of President Obama’s visit to China on tonight’s program. What do you think his visit means for relations between China and the U.S.? Do you believe it’s inevitable that China will pass the U.S. as a global economic power? If so, how long will it take? If not, why?

Rediscover?

I firmly believe his voice was nothing more than a poetic rouse for what his real intent was.

Since in office he has contradicted every platform he ran on.... See More

We are not out of the Middle East...In fact hes sending another 30,000 troops over.

He did not eliminate the PATRIOT Act, in fact he has taken it to levels that "W" never did.

And as for not raising our taxes....we'll see how this Copenhagen thing goes in a few weeks, but its looking like we're going to have to pay for co2 crap. Yes global warming is happening, but it's common knowledge after debunking Al "I am a lying douchebag" Gore...that we have little to no influence on it.

And where did our freaking public option go?

The Nazis were the Socialist party...They started by taking over the auto industry, the banks, healthcare...and with this Copenhagen deal...might just lay the groundwork for a global government, which is exactly what Hitler was trying to....only he tried it with force, instead of fancy talk.

I voted for him and I ask myself..."Is this what I signed up for?"

Between him and the Islamic radicals....BTW ever read the Quran? It teaches hate, violence, and demeans women...

This entire world is going to hell in a hand basket.

Remember the days when Barack Obama raised more money than any other presidential candidate in history, when the titans of Wall Street were lining up to line his campaign pockets and the relationship between money in New York and might in Washington seemed as cosy as a country picnic?

Those who held key decision making positions that lead (or contributed significantly) to the collapse should all be terminated from their positions. Of course it's right for the administration to manage compensation earned by these executives--the only reason their companies have remained viable (supposedly) is do to TAXPAYER funds. Therefore, they... See More should have to answer to the taxpayers and their compensation be checked until every cent is repaid. The ongoing investigation and question should be: Why have taxpayers suffered the burden, while the corrupt on Wall Street get bailed out? The American system is is tragically corrupt and a failure to it's people (even with Obama in office).

actually, it wasnt taxpayer funds at all, now was it? it was funds created by the federal reserve, it didnt come out of the federal budget, it came right off the printing press.

but it is money for nothing and they cant just give it to the bankersz and not the system, thats the problem, they are4 literally printing money for people when they take exhorbitant bonuse4s they dont deserve anyway.

YOU betray our nation with your blind patriotism Not me. My grandpa crawled in the muck through 2 wars and what the japanese and the Chines couldnt do, some idiot that didnt wash their hands after they went to the dr did.... See More

this is not what he crawled through the muck for, and I refuse to let people like you take his sarifice and crap on it, by wanting to deny people the rights he fought for.
