1. Shut up angry man!!

You have all of our jobs already damn it!!

[Divine Discontent]

2. it's rather embarrassing of him, I agree...

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Thanks AP..........

I never get tired of Obama bashing videos. :sarcasm:

[Charleston Chew]

6. listen

Obviously you didn't pay attention to what was being said. This video has absolutely nothing to do with "Obama bashing". The complaint was with American imperialism. Do you support the American empire?

Do you understand the amount of pain and suffering the American empire has caused to the world?

Maybe you should read Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky.

Laugh Out Loud @ "Michelle Obama Dances With Underprivileged Children In India"

[The Wielding Truth]

9. Michelle does not make policy nor is she responsible for any of

the horrible things done by and in our name by our government so what she is doing is what she is supposed to do. She is being an ambassador of personal kindness, nothing more. I think she is doing a great job and is a perfect person to do it.

10. Laugh Out Loud!

it sure as hell ain't news

[The Wielding Truth]

12. It's fluff ,but it's a face of compassion and unity with others. That is not bad.

She has shown herself to be an accomplished and kind and approachable. SHe is a valued asset to our global face.

11. Yes, I have noticed a pattern, too. AP hardly EVER says anything

positive about our President.

Just like NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, all get their "news" from AP now.

[Enrique]

13. you don't want the AP to report protests?

what exactly is wrong about the AP story? That they did it at all?

[Vehl]

4. Typical Communists

Its people like these who held India back for till about 50 years after its independence with their "five year" plans.

I consider myself quite liberal, and I am usually supportive of most socialist policies (health-care, education for all etc etc)...but blatantly communist parties like this are obsolete and do nothing but to retard the growth of nations. These people are probably heartbroken that India does not toe their beloved CPC (communist part of China) line( who are...the same people who took a chunk of India and occupied Tibet in the 50s.:crazy:) and is not backing down in front of an aggressive China. They come out in droves against any cooperation between democratic nations.

this is really embarrassing...to say the least!

folks, pls ignore this lunatic fringe.

5. Forget about the "lunatic fringe"!

The important thing to bear in mind was that only 200 cops were employed there, and apparently did very little except stand around. Compare that to when Bush44 visited Berlin or London a few years back. The entire cores of each city were under air, land, and sea lockdown! And according to reports elsewhere, the results of some of these talks will result in a good number of JOBS in the USA!

For good reason, Obama is WILDLY popular in traditionally "lukewarm and even cold" parts of the world. If we let the RW to `cripple him here, the entire world will suffer! And so will we!

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Well to the true socialists and communists he is not on the same page.

He also is the leader of a country whose policies have not changed much from the obscene abuses of Bush/Cheney and will soon be pulled deeper into those abuses under Boehner/Tea Party House rule.
