Fact Checker: Did Obama call Americans ‘lazy’ and ‘soft’?

Conservation Voice wrote: Why is it that some people try to keep a thread from moving along its natural course? Regular face-to-face conversations don't stay on topic and those in the conversation aren't reminded that they must stay on topic, unless it's a business meeting.

Are people not capable of following conversations that move from sub-topic to sub-topic?

And wasn't your question on this thread, "Are you trying out for a PC mod?"
CV, are you trying out for the ultimate hypocrite? Hands down you'll get my vote.

Yeah, that was my question when referring to posters who try to moderate conversations.

Thanks for your vote. I'll wear it as a badge of honor.

Wear it next to the skid mark on journalism award. :thumbsup:

I don't know if you meant to post that. It makes you look very childish. Did you mean to?

He isn't calling every American lazy, just the ones marketing America. Businesses salesman, and the Dept. of Commerce, I presume.

But I bet part of the reason not as many foreigners are willing to invest in America over the last 10 years is increasing regulation, high property prices during the real estate boom, and better opportunities in Asia.
But as the dollar falls, property bubble deflates, and more communities offer tax breaks for large businesses, this should correct itself.

So, as usual, the answer to the thread title is: "NO"...

Got it.
