Doesn't your constitution have somewhere that it's ok to shoot your neighbor -- do you shoot your neighbor? Wasn't eastern Europe supposed to be "popular democracies" -- what matters more: words or actions? Do you know how to translate "free markets" into Chinese? is it "unfettered"? is it "unregulated"? is it "wild"? Some markets are more "free" in China than they are in the US, does that make China the model to follow? The Bush administration repeatedly stated that it cared about deficits and debt, but they didn't do a great job with that, did they? Obama at least is telling the truth about this particular aspect of his policy.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('132','pat toche'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('132','pat toche','Hi there,\n\n\nHow important is the wording in a statement of intent?

How important is the wording in a statement of intent? Doesn't your constitution have somewhere that it's ok to shoot your neighbor — do you shoot your neighbor? Wasn't eastern Europe supposed to be "popular democracies" — what matters more: words or actions?

Do you know how to translate "free markets" into Chinese? is it "unfettered"? is it "unregulated"? is it "wild"? Some markets are more "free" in China than they are in the US, does that make China the model to follow?

The Bush administration repeatedly stated that it cared about deficits and debt, but they didn't do a great job with that, did they? Obama at least is telling the truth about this particular aspect of his policy.
