OTTAWA (Reuters) - Declaring "I love this country" and waving to ecstatic Canadian crowds, U.S. President Barack Obama helped reignite on Thursday a close binational friendship that had waned during the administration of his predecessor George W. Bush.
Obama revived a tradition whereby new U.S. presidents make their first foreign trip to Canada, which is one of America's most important trading partners.
Bush made his initial visit to Mexico after winning the 2000 election and subsequently grew ever more unpopular among Canadians, in particular over his decision to invade Iraq.
The new U.S. leader, on the other hand, was treated like a rock star by the thousands of people who gathered in freezing temperatures to welcome him on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
Stocks tumbled Thursday as anxiety over how the Obama administration will fix the crippled financial system pushed the Dow to its lowest level in more than six years.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 89.68, or 1.2 percent, ending at 7,465.95, its lowest close since October 2002.
The S&P 500 lost 1.2 percent to end at 778.94, while the Nasdaq dropped 1.7 percent to close at 1,442.82.
Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people who are physically short. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives.
Dude, this Calculon guy is on a roll! He comes out with something flamboyant and then when you call him out on it, he returns with a lame 'your mother' line! It's like a formula for closet behavior.
Basically you are touching on another issue that is a lot easier to fix. We need to severely cut welfare programs to the point of not giving up ANY government assistance to people who are employable but jobless. Then even the stupidest morons will figure out that they can't afford to have a kid. In this day and age, there is no excuse for 'accidental' babies.
What you have to do is aim at the side edge/rim of the urinal, where you are hitting the surface at a wide angle thereby reducing to almost no splash. On certain urinals however its best to aim dead center into the drain (ones that don't have a perpetual little pool of pissy water).
and they'll be gold and have a British accent.
