Building the Team

Why not Colin Powell for Defense? He knows how we got into this mess and because he was made a stooge by our doofus-in-chief, I say give him another chance to right what went wrong and do things his way.

Who starts spreading falsehoods? Why are these people so afraid? Where do they get their info? Don't they ever watch TV? Do they ever read anything other than internet postings? In this day of so much information at our fingertips, I can't understand some of these postings. Obama spent many of his growing up years in the US ( Hawaii). He attended a Catholic school as a child as well as an islamic school when he was very young. His father was African and his mother was American(Kansas). I keep thinking to myself," Surely these people aren't that stupid. Surely they know how to access accurate information. Why do they think these absurd accusations are true? Do they think the media doesn"t know how to research facts and only they and the crazies writing these ridiculous things know the "real" truth? Do they think the entire United States media is so inept as to be unable verify any of these stories? Wake up and think!! There was a story about a US senator or congressman( can't remember which) who was sworn in with a Koran because he IS Muslim and in his faith tradition, that IS his Holy book. Our founding fathers fought and died for the freedom to practice one's religion. This country is big enough and free enough for everyone. That's why I can't figure why some people are so terrified of anything they don't understand. I guess there will always be the ignorant in this world. Vote for whoever you want, but be so gulliable and scared for heavens sake!

Here is a truth! When Obama is president we will get our reparations.

All Barack Obama has to do is point out that he was right on Iraq. Just as he did in the debate with Hillary. McCain is attaching himself to GWB on Iraq, which will be an albatross around McCains neck. The American people still have a huge animus against GWB for the unjust war in Iraq that was foisted upon us with lies, manipulations, hype, and Bush's predisposed agenda against Iraq.

I pray to God that Obama's change does not mimick Jimmy Carter's. Do you remember double digit inflation 18% home loans, Gas rationing and destruction of our military? Jimmy Carter was undoubtedly the worst president of the last 60 years.

Wow, this is like putting the cart before the horse. He hasn't won the nomination yet. I remember the Carter administration. He was also a one term president. I suspect Obama would be too. That is poor planning on the democrat part. All glimmer and no substance. Well, the fat lady hasn't sung yet. Then and only then will it be over. I would lose respect for Hillary if she dropped out now. There is still hope AND she still have a chance. Obama has been getting a free ride. One more thing if people really like his xerox speeches, they'll love the xerox results. Hillary won Massachusettes for a reason even though the deck was stacked with the support of the Governor, John Kerry, and the Kennedy's (Caroline and Teddy) for Obama.

Americans killed Saddam Hussien; we now have to elect Barack Hussien Obama as our President to balance the American sin. Whether this Hussien is an incarnation of that Hussien is beyond American voters' comprehension

DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED !!

First, Obama's leadership as "commander in chief" depends on DOD expertise he must and will choose with wisdom and vision and flexibility to change when and where needed.

The "central organizing principle" of the Presidential election, around which the voter wagons have already circled is the ECONOMY and here Obama is the odds on favorite. Why?

The winner needs far beyond a sound vision well articulated "deliveraables." And the center of gravity here is NOT yet obvious, is the vision of a balance "demand stimulus" and macro "supply side" sustainable jobs creation program(s) and this is Humanomics in general and its NEW economic paradigm the "Integration of Labor-sm" as NEW world class, US led, Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI, for retrofitting and retraining the US work force to world class 'competitive' standards and this is Obama national "platfom fo change," that is NOT only the winning NEW center of gravity, is the future of America and American families.

I'm the author of Humanomics and its NEW economic paradigm and I've endorsed Senator Obama as has dozens of other US citizens both GOP and democratic.

I'm a US citizen and live in Jerusalem for the past 22 years.

Hamilton Jordan consider's Obama's operation the most brilliant political campaign in his lifetime. I don't think it is brillant, but it is effective. It has been used over and over in history, required reading but not a lesson learned. Here is to the One America, the new hope, the unity-civil rights message. Obama was just endorsed by the Great Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. A picture of Obama in Kenyan clothes is found on the internet. Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe accuses Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, "Offensive Fear-mongering" we've seen from either party in this election." Is Obama saying that being seen with Islam or Muslim people instills fear and panic in American people, and therefore he does NOT want to be associated with these BAD people? Then how does he want us to believe his message of his ability to unite us as ONE America - ???YES we can???. But first we have to start by disassociating ourselves from Muslims and Islamic people (sorry Farrakhan). Shall we also leave out the Klan, because they are hopeless people too? Who are next, the Jews and the Gays? After all, they have always been easy targets for bigotry. Maybe the real message is "let's unify only the people that Obama thinks are "safe" (the good people) in order to keep Americans "SAFE", from the bad people. Will Obama define who the good and bad people are, especially the good ones that will not instill fear in Obama's America? Then how shall we deal with the people that cause Obama and his followers fear? What does Obama suggest? How do we cleanse ourselves of these evil doers?

Now I see Obama's Vision of the future, his new Hope for America, the Change he has been talking about. This Obama movement will end the arguing and movement ever growing; will soon begin the unified march forward.


Remember, it was the media that crowned Bush (that nice guy you can have a beer with) your new president for 8 years... while Gore just got to sit around writing us the warning signs.

History repeats itself, ever so cleverly, the new Trojan horse has arrived, the newly media appointed and new American hero, Obama.

I support Clinton and if Obama is the nominee, this is one DEMOCRAT who will vote for MCCAIN this fall. I will vote for EXPERIENCE anytime. Regardless of what Clinton says about supporting the nominee, this is one democrat who will vote republican this fall!!!!!!!

The trouble with Barack is not the calls for change, of us as a country coming together. Those are noble and well articulated. The problem is that no where in his past is there a lot of evidence of him actually doing it. He wasn't part of the gang of 14 that worked out a comprimise on filibustering of judges, he wasn't onboard with the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill, he wasn't part of the Senate FISA comprimise. He worked with Chuck Hagel on a nuclear deproliferation bill, but that isn't exactly controversial. And his programs are not exactly middle-of-the-road - I mean, lifting the FICA cap? Raising corporate tax rates (already higher than many countries - can anyone say "Lets open our new plant in Ireland!)?

He's going to be a 45 year old president with a Democratic Congress and Senate, with both houses being run by 60-70 year old very liberal committee chairman. What exactly is he going to do to get them to agree with him? What leverage will he have? The are going to brush off his comments, send him whatever they desire, and just dare him to veto the stuff.

I agree 100% and believe this is the exact approach Obama should take in developing his cabinet. It would clearly demonstrate with "actions" how he plans to reach across the aisle, working with Democrats, Republicans and Independents. These are all highly respected people who could help him accomplish this objective. Whether it is these three (one might not want to do it) is not important, but that people like this are part of his team. It would be a true "dream team."

not a myth he sworn into the senate using the koran not the holy bible he could very well be a sleeper cell.
the very way bin laden wants to destroy our great country
