And there ya have it: Uh-bama’s Presidential Agenda and Legacy Goal.
The Splodey-dopes are not our most dangerous enemies; they are merely an opportunistic infection.
I don’t suppose it’s occurred to anybody in the Senate that we are not responsible for the other 95% of the world’s population (US:300million, world: 6.4 billion), nor are we in a position to do much about it.
Unless, of course, we adopt all the roles they accuse us of: imperialism, hegemony, interfering in other country’s affairs, ...
We also note that these “Millennium Development Goals” are the work of the UN (boo, hiss):
Are these goals Good Things? Certainly. But as the problems have been with us since Noah was a sailor, it’s unrealistic to think that anybody - or even everybody - can make a serious dent in them in less that 15 years.
