Even though we went to war with Iraq also, I don't think the rest of the world works in the same way, I hope they can see that we can still have a free market but it needs to be somewhat regulated, somewhat controlled, to ensure sustainability. America doesn't seem to care about anybody but itself. Huge generalisation I know, and im not saying any Americans on this forum are at all like that, but its how the present president paints his image to the world.

We have our own resources - but thanks to the radical environmentalists in this country who, (for whatever reason), seem to have a death grip on congress, we haven't been drilling for oil, haven't built a new refinery in over 30 years - nor any new nuclear facilities. If you are under the impression that our capitalist system has no restraints placed upon it by government, you are sadly mistaken. There are far too many regulations, rules and taxes.
The president has no chance to paint his true image. His opponents and the press do that for him. A grave mistake to allow others to define you.
