I am with you about not knowing what to believe but I thought it was odd that they said they would delay the deal when it seemed like it was set to be signed.

Another way to keep us looking in the wrong direction.

Kathy – then why did Bambi add a special breakfast meeting with world leaders in Asia to talk about climate change. We cannot believe anything we read anymore.

Diamond I thought you might feel that way about O’Reilly but it will be interesting to see how she is treated by him, hopefully she will get the same fairness he offered Obama before the election.

Also just came across this it is good news at least I think.

Leaders Delay a Deal on Climate Change.

On the surface it seems like good news , but I am not very good at figuring out what the reason would be for this, is there something worse coming down the road, or maybe they realize people do not want this.

Mary – I know you think it is respectful and it probably would be if it were anybody else, but not the POTUS and the Emperor. The Emperor extends his hands because he knows his position in the world. If he was the greater force he would bow and everybody would have to bow to him. Here is a link to Clinton breaking 200 years of tradition by slightly bowing to him in 1994. Americans do not bow, and for good reason:

That prompted a stern warning from Miss Manners against those who might mock the effort that “was once put into freeing Americans from the necessity of bending their knees.”
