I dont know about doin a worse fob. I do think Obama needs to "nut up" and throw some hands (figuratively speaking) His meeting with Israel and Palestine went nowhere. Benjamin Netanyahu has not and will not budge on the issue one halting Israel's take over of the remainder of Palestine, which in turn will further instigate suicide bombers runnin up in jewish settlements. He has lost control of his health care initiatives and both sides of the western (american) media are still havin a field day with it. So I dont know. Its gotta be unimaginably difficult to be a Nobel Peace Prize recipient (Talk to Norway about that ****) and at the same time commander and chief of the worlds' most formidable war machine. I wouldnt want that job. Thats my take.

massagetrade---thank you

Public officials are suppose to serve the public. Thats it. this is not 1950. If he doesn't believe in "race mixin" thats his choice, but he cant choose who to marry and who not based on his own pre-civil war ideology. Beyond that, you like what you like in a person and dont have to apologize for it. This is almost 2010 a f%ckin space odyssey and we STILL focus on the differences rather than the commonalities! In-f#ckin-credible!!

as long as there are at least two people on the planet with the means to communicate with each other and inevitably disagree on something, the potential for war, violence will always be present. In the entire history of mankind we have been at war with one another more so than not. limited resources and an increasing population; religious, political, ideological, mechanisms for control are what keeps the irons in the fire.

If you had ABSOLUTELY no way to measure or track time it would be a non issue. There would just be space and us in it. More to the point of your question though, Im with uncle Albert when he said that time is indeed relative to ones own position and motion. What may seem like an hour to me, may seem fore like 4 hours to someone else.
