would Obama get more respect if he annexed one of his neighbours?
Obama might get some respect if he stopped flying drones around the world assassinating people at will. Or sign "card check" to make unionizing easier. Or sign America up to the treaty banning land mines. Or prosecute some banksters (instead of giving them an office in the White House). Or close Guantanamo. Like he promised.
All things he could do w/o kneeling down to kiss congresses ass.
But he won't. Because he's a pathetic bought 'n paid for piece of shit, ok?
Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.
