Obama's foreign policy has amounted to little more than a pawn trying to take on several queens at once. Let's hope that America's future does not involve a big check-mate by the rest of the world...vkravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711144320722548394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-47999363687910274762009-02-17T22:12:00.000-05:002009-02-17T22:12:00.000-05:00Or does the US play checkers while Russia plays ch...<A HREF="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2009/02/137_39696.html" REL="nofollow">Or does the US play checkers while Russia plays chess</A>?Michael Goellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512012158305281566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-72637071166670594482009-02-15T21:56:00.000-05:002009-02-15T21:56:00.000-05:00And today, an Iranian official said that "chess is...And today, an Iranian official said that <A HREF="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/02/14/news/ML-Iran-US.php" REL="nofollow">"chess is a better game than boxing"</A> when it comes to US - Iranian relations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-64515628685834028212009-02-10T22:23:00.000-05:002009-02-10T22:23:00.000-05:00Great stuff.

In my opinion, Obama is one of the 5 smartest presidents ever. (I'll also take Madison, Jefferson, JQ Adams, Kennedy.) However, i think the country is in much worse shape than the govt or media would dare let on, so if Obama is a chess master he will have to play at knight odds.katarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032591421971431222noreply@blogger.com
