After Obama was elected and dollar rose a bit, Americans can travel and socialize with other people physically again, no need to do it by some odd net game.

It's a huge improvement for the game if people from all over the world play kdice. When I played a bit more than now, it wasn't always easy to gain points because it was more rare to get a high stakes table started during the hours I played. When the first Americans woke up and started playing, the tables filled much faster.

Basically we need all the players we can get

Now if the Johnsons would just leave.

"After Obama was elected and dollar rose a bit, Americans can travel and socialize with other people physically again, no need to do it by some odd net game."

I can't find the sarcasm in this statement, but it has to be in there somewhere.

An American friend who is a guide in Prague told me how Canadians wear bags with their flag on it to show clearly they are not those bloody Americans. And that some Americans do the same for the same reason. :-) But Obama really improved the reputation of Americans in the world, so possibly it´s not dangerous to travel anymore.

"But Obama really improved the reputation of Americans in the world"

How?

He uses lame ass blogs... yay, what a change xD

Statistically. BTW I attended Obama´s speech in Prague and people had there American flags. Publicly. Waving. Czechs. Many. Unimaginable just a year ago.

This is not judgement, merely observation.

Then the rest of the world is as manipulatable as 60% of Americans right now. I wish my wife would give me a good approval rating for spending more money than any husband in the history of humanity.

That´s not that simple, global and personal economy is not the same thing. Instinctively, I would be against overspending, but although I study economics this is far too difficult topic to really push my opinion. Actually it´s pretty funny how diverse opinions the most respectable economists possess especially when you know that whatever happens will not affect it anyhow. If it´s going to be better, one will say it´s because of the spendings, the other that it would happen even without them. If it gets worse one will say it would be even worse without spendings, the other that it is caused by them. And the possibility to evaluate who is right and wrong is so miniscule.
