Obama UN Speech

Lots of great comments here. I am still seeking to understand how some people feel that it signals weakness to try and get along better, to strive for cooperation rather than domination. And as for foreign aid -- it's not about USA being some all-benevolent Santa Claus to the world, it's a strategic and political tool in many if not most or all cases.

Hmmm - well, when I listened again, I made a column for

I, Me, My, We, Our and I threw in Us and checked off each time I heard those words:

Here are the results which I will post to our forum so that we may know what our president said to us and the world. Me, well happy to oblige; it is my pleasure.

(drum roll please) :dothewave: (best I could do)


I = 34
Me = 5
My = 11

Our = 60
We = 108
Us = 18

How about that!

You have entirely too much time time on your hands....

I dont suppose you hapened to put each of your findings in context did you???

It's great how Obama stopped global warming in 8 months....:roll:

Too much " i " , " me " , "my"

not enough "we" "our"

Frankly, it was NOT time consuming. I was listening to the speech again and just put a mark down each time a word was said. It wasn't difficult.

LOL "findings into context" jeez.... good try!

By the way

back at ya......

it's pointless anyway....

Just another speech, like so many before, unlikely to change one mind or action in the world. Most citizens of the world could care less what is said or done at the United Nations. This inept group of "diplomats" are in their last gasp of authority and relevance. I don't listen to speeches anymore of any kind. I've found very little correlation between speeches and the actions taken afterward. Does this make me less informed? Hardly. People need to free themselves from labels, demagogues, and a political system that mocks the citizen and glorifies the politician. What passes for debate now is mostly low-brow mockery and narcissism. And please when trying to debate in writing, learn how to spell, construct proper sentences, and remember you are not always right. People still may not agree with you, but at least, they won't think you are illiterate and lazy.

I say that you got your hand caught in the cookie jar that you jumped to conclusions and heard what you wanted to hear and you won't admit it.

It isn't pointless. I think you would consider this an exercise in personal growth. ;-)

It is pointless....Nothing you say will change my mind and nothing I say will change yours. You worry about your own personal growth. I'm just fine with mine.

All I ever hear from Obama is everything we've done in the past is bad and everything he will do in the future is great....A new world order and I just happen to not buy into his idea.

Stick your tongue wherever you want and call me whatever name you think fits

Hmmm, evidentially you haven't read many of my posts. I am very much able to see opposite points of view and admit when I am wrong or out of line.

You, on the other hand, are a very hostile troll, who needs to be fed constantly. And btw, leave my tongue out of this!


Back to my work. Diversion time over. :leaving:

658 posts is a trol?????

You stuck your tongue out....That makes it fair game!!!!!

Amen.

Ameria can still be the great country it is and strive to be even better. Change is hard for some to grasp and can be painful, but my money is on my President. I like what he is saying.

Amen.

Gidget,

I applaud you for the data research, but unfortunately, those who have a BIG "R" branded between their eyes will only see the 50 comments pertaining to himself for the simple fact that he isn't one of them....

In regards to possible overhaul.....I'll take that gamble compared to the past 8 years of pissing off the world, wars for trumped up causes and Covert actions inacted by the Penguin aka former VP who can't shoot worth a damn! Not to mention putting the country in the crapper....:angry:

Amen.

I am sure we are all guilty of this from time to time. It is difficult to see things differently. I love watching this often...it helps to realize that just because we don't understand someone or something, doesn't mean they or it, is not worthy. It's all in the perspective.

We all should look within ourselves more often.

I'm passing this on to my daughter to reflect on. Thanks gw58!

Not at all, place your curser over it to find what it represents.
