President Obama: "Perhaps, the argument goes... the time for our leadership has passed. That argument is wrong"

Obama in Europe

President Obama has told British politicians that, despite the rise of new global powers, the time for US and European leadership "is now".

He said the influence of the US, UK and allies would remain "indispensable," in a speech in Parliament on the second day of his UK state visit.

But he said that leadership would need to "change with the times" to reflect economic, security and more challenges.

He is the first US president to address MPs and peers in Westminster Hall.

Can't this guy ever stop talking.... yakking ... spewing audio........ I don't need no stinkin' leaders and I don't want or need this guy. The big problems in this world were and are caused by leaders .... their hubristic god-complex is off the charts. Like Kate says in "Kate and Leopold" ...... 'go away.. just go away' . 99guspuppet

NASA ( Never A Silly Announcment ) comes up with another plan

NASA decides on deep space future
The space agency announced Tuesday that human exploration remains in NASA's future plans, and the new transportation platform will be based on design originally planned for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle. The decision came shortly after a visitor arrived from deep space: the space agency's "all sky" cameras captured a man-size comet fragment as it swept over Georgia. It was the brightest meteoroid seen in the last three years.

Ahhhhhh .............. dreaming of the future days when NASA is dismantled and private enterprise drives space exploration. 40 years have been wasted since the Apollo moon landings and I missed my chance to go to Mars. To late for me.....

Golf... Golf .....is good make Cubans free

Cuba Reverses Course to Permit Golf
“One of Fidel Castro’s first acts upon taking power was to get rid of Cuba’s golf courses, seeking to stamp out a sport he and other socialist revolutionaries saw as the epitome of bourgeois excess. Now, 50 years later, foreign developers say the Cuban government has swung in nearly the opposite direction, giving preliminary approval in recent weeks for four large luxury golf resorts on the island, the first in an expected wave of more than a dozen that the government anticipates will lure free-spending tourists to a nation hungry for cash.” (New York Times)

Time for the USG to drop restrictions on travel to CUBA. Let US torurists and business people transform CUBA into a place with more freedom for Cuban dwellers. Let us have freedom for everyone.
