[Remodeling Maidiac]

The man demonstrated command of the issues. The American people will respond positively to that.

Like deregulating spilled milk?

Ohhh the gripping issues he faces!

 

[freedombecki]

He is laying down the gauntlet.

Does that hurt people?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

No he does not want to run on his record she said big time.

 

[francoHFW]

Great speech. SOMEBODY has a plan...No drama Obama...

 

[Salt Jones]

No thanks, I haven't watched one in over 20 years. Besides hockey is on.

Obama is increasing our presence over in the Pacific.

The expanded basing agreement with Australia is just one of several initiatives Obama has taken that is likely to set Beijing on edge at a tricky time. The U.S. is China's second largest trading partner, and the economies are deeply intertwined. Chinese leaders don't want the economy disrupted when global growth is shaky and they are preparing to transfer power to a new leadership next year.

Over the weekend while playing host to Chinese President Hu Jintao and other Pacific rim leaders at a summit in Hawaii, Obama said the U.S. would join a new regional free trade group that so far has excluded China. That added an economic dimension to what some Chinese commentators have called a new U.S. containment policy that features reinvigorated defense ties with nations along China's perimeter, from traditional allies Japan and the Philippines to former enemy Vietnam, all of whom are anxious about growing Chinese power.

China was immediately leery of the prospect of an expanded U.S. military presence in Australia. Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said there should be discussion as to whether the plan was in line with the common interests of the international community.

It's none of China's business what the US and Oz do together. It is the business of the people that live there.

It is their business when it's their money funding it.

Nice red herring. I never said it was their business, but given that it was a reactionary move to China's growing military presence, it would spark there interest. And guess what? They are very skeptical of this. Plus, it is not like the US has a history of myob. However, some people love to hold double standards.

Why do we need to send 2,500 troops in Australia? More troops spread out around the world, occupying nations that could easily pick up the slack themselves.

Obama is big on plans, but not on details. This has been his theme since day one.
