This visit has about the same importance as Obama's visit.

What a nonsense article.
George Bush one an election on a minority vote before the 9/11 It was only the second election he won on fear mongering..The reason he won an election with a minority of votes is because the United States is not a democracy any more than Thailand is. It is a Rebublic in a democracy Al Gore would have been the president and the U. S. would have been more concerned with enviormental needs that can have a much farther reaching effect on all of humanity.
Here in Thailand we use the Parlamentary system which does not need a majority of the voters to rule. It so happens that the present government does have a majority of the votes. But their number of seats is way out of proportion o the votes they got.
The article stated
"It is only in "Amazing Thailand" that factions such as yellow shirts and now Pitak Siam continue to believe that the current Pheu Thai-led government is not a legitimately elected governmen"
That is not at all what they are saying they are saying that it is a no good government. The author knows that to be true but being a PT Red Shirt sympathizer it was the only way he could think of to defend his interests.
I like the list of credits for the author.
"Dr Kuldep Nagi is a Fulbright Fellow working at the Graduate School of eLearning (GSeL), Assumption University, Bangkok. He can be contacted at: DrKuldeep [at] Live.com."
Just more proof that academics should stay out of politics they know nothing about it.
Obama won by less than 3% of the popular vote, that's hardly a majority in real world numbers. Errors in voting can be near that much. The Electoral College is an outdated thing that should be done away with if for no other reason than most people whether American or other do not understand. In this case it would have made no difference but it still needs to be stopped as it skews the figures and gives the wrong impression on how voting really was. When you look at the popular vote in the USA there is some serious facts, many states were well over 60% against Obama(I hesitate to say for Romney) and some well over 70%. In many counties in certain states over 80% against Obama and I believe some counties were right at 90% against Obama. The states that did go for Obama the % was closer than states that voted against Obama. If you look at the red vs blue map state wise or county wise for many states I believe it shows a disturbing trend of turmoil in the US elections in basic values. Also look at the Republican states to see what is produced in these states and look at the Democratic states to see the same. I make no judgement either way but looking at real % and facts it puts lots of questions in my mind and shows the internal problems in the USA that seem to linger on and appear to have a good chance to increase.

I am not so sure what Thailand can learn about democracy from the USA but I hope they learn nothing about fiscal policy on running their business from the USA who are very near Greece in their manner of spend more than you make and let the great great grandkids pay for it.

He saw an ad for Apple in the newspaper so he went for an interview...........now the remainder is history.

Talk about "Dropped Objects". ha ha They need a tethered tool kit on site

Sure making a big fuss over not much of a deal in my mind.

I bet lots more to the story plus I believe the Canadian will only get a hard hand slap as his should. Maybe a few months or couple of years in jail, maybe nothing.
Lets hope he gets nothing but deported

The US Govt has been spending money like a drug user that just inherited a vast fortune to only find out 1 year later the money was all counterfeit. Looks like the USA will affect the whole world with their spend thrift ways, not just their own frail economy. For any country borrowing untold trillions and vast social freebie programs will wreck the economy.

I think nothing positive about this Obama visit at all. Just a wast of the Thai peoples time and waste of US tax payers money

Really strange. I bet HomePro wishes that had not happened there. RIP

With all the bad news the USA has received in the past few days such as the SANDY Storm and Barrack Obama being awarded a second term as President, at least now they received some good news with Hillary leaving. I am sure it will look like the Ace Ventura Pet Detective party they gave at the Monastery when Ace left.

Microsoft will make a mess out of Skype I am sure as some other posters have said. Sometimes less is more. Not sure how this will work putting Skype with Messenger.

Thanks for the warning about the Campaigner in Chief arriving in the LOS. I hope he does not give a lecture in running a country as he has a "F" in that subject no matter if some thing he is cool. I think he is something that rhymes with Cool,.......................................

The only good for Thailand and Asia that comes from Obama being reelected is that he will be the role model for "how not to run a country". Spending money you do not have is no way to run a country. Someone with no business experience at all is not a good person to run a country. Good luck America, you will need it to survive 4 more years of fear.
-
The USA is becoming less and less of a factor in the world every day. Their building debt load and the spend thrift ways they use are ruining the country. If Obama gets another term and keeps on the way he is going the USA is in a big problem.

2 Dutch girls almost raped by this muscled screw-driver? What kind of story is this? Dutch girls are solid made and ofter very muscled, or was it perhaps the other way around?
Ha ha you might have that right

Lets hope the polls are wrong, Obama winning again will be a severe unbearable load for the spend thrift USA and will wreck the world economy.

The USA will need to get approval from the main financial supporter China before they can comment or make any decision.

I feel like not all the facts are straight forward at least in the context of "forced".

Gosh the only thing this guy done wrong is not doing a water test with a simple kit. Bleach is chlorine in basic. It looks like to me they are after him for past offenses and they will use this to seal the deal.

Thailand should take a look at what the USA has done, and do just the opposite. The USA has borrowed money from China in the trillions of dollars. If you do not have it do not spend it. Something that I hope the yanks will agree with and show on election day with a "change of the guard".
-
Sad story but I am sure there are facts that we do not know.

Exactly right........they already have the announcement ready so the minute it happens they were the "first"with the news.
