Observations

Obama has been getting a lot of grief for having failed to reach agreements during his Asian trip.  However, from what Fareed Zakaria and others are saying, many Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, India, Philippines, etc., increasingly fearing a rising China, are beginning to see America as a useful counter-power and friend.

So maybe it wasn't so bad afterall.  Nevertheless, Obama has his work cut out for him when he lands back at Andrews Air Force Base.  There are many unhappy people, who see him as weak and ineffective.  Somehow he's got to turn that around, or it's going to be a miserable two years ahead.

One of the wisest things I heard a pundit say over the last couple of days is that NOBODY really knows how to go about creating real jobs.  Nobody.

Senator Rand Paul appeared on Face the Nation today and had a great interview.  He's growing...and I think he's going to be increasingly a power broker in the Senate.

Some scientist said on a program that "the Milky Way is our galaxy, consisting of billions of start, and there are hundreds of billions of galaxies the size of the Milky Way in the universe."  Excuse me?
