gotta love politicians and their headline grabbing stunts

Romney has this quote in AOL headlines that he predicts that if Obama is re elected he will face another huge problem overseas. Well I got one for Romney, this is the United States whoever gets elected will face a few big to major problems overseas. We are involved everywhere.

To make this kind of prediction to grab a headline to me shows how much the press depends on crap to fill up space. And if anyone takes this as some kind of earth shattering revelation, well they are just ignorant. Problem is the Republican machine will try and use this and Obama will try and defend himself against it. Ha ha ha,,,,, too much ado about things that are inevitable to make your opponent look incompetent when well you would end in the same shit yourself. Can't we get one day of something concrete from a politician that actually says something. Yes I know I just asked a stupid question.

I love freedom of the press, but can't we get freedom from produced and prepackaged crap. Yes I know I just asked another stupid question.

I will say this, I saw some of the last Republican debate, got pretty interesting when they started talking about China for a moment. Just a moment, but you do have to think seriously how we manage the relations with China. This is a country that understands what it wants, but is stuck with managing way too many people to get there. Things will get dicey there and how we manage our interests should be given some very serious thought.  I am glad the question of China was brought up. Need more than five minutes to discuss that one though.

Trade was discussed of course and one of my answers is for us to create products to sell to China. We should seriously think about selling electric cars to China especially before the Japanese do and they are already ahead of the game in production than us. It is time we got Detroit ready to sell products overseas and SUVs aren't the answer, especially to countries like China and India. We should be more aggressive or if we are, let people know. Exports help our economy. And if we aren't, well we are just short changing any hope of getting out of our economic rut.
