    Barack Obamas parents were never marrieds due to the fact that his father already had 2 wives.( Google) Being a black bastard should be no hinderence to the presidency. He should fit right in with the existing political party he is aligned with. What a magnificent group, Pelosi, Reid, Jackson, Dodd. Shiela jackson Lee, Waxman, the Clintons Et Al.

    in the prior poll showing obama up by 15, Newsweek had more respondents id'ing themselves as Democrats, consistent with poll after poll about the percentange of Americans currently identifying themselves as Democrats vs those identifing themselves as Republicans.

    In this most recent poll showing Obama up only 3, they sampled the same % of Democrats and Republicans. No polls show that breakdown in party id among the current national electorate.

    The current poll doesn't prove anything except that Newsweek engaged in shoddy polling that has no basis in reality in an effort to perpetruate the "horserace" narrative in order to sell magazines.

    Give me a break!!

    Senator Barack Obama Receives Endorsement of Flag Officers from Army, Navy and Air Force

    Note: Add Sam Nunn as well as the other Military Leaders to Obama's Military Counsel.

    CHICAGO???Citing his judgment and ability to lead, admirals and generals from the United States Army, Navy and Air Force that together have served under the last nine Commanders-in-Chief today announced their endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for president.


    In offering their endorsement, the generals and admirals recognized Obama???s judgment to oppose the war in Iraq before it began, his respect for the Constitution and rule of law, his leadership on behalf of America???s servicemen and women and his ability to conduct the diplomacy necessary to restore America???s standing in the world.


    "Those of us who have served, worn the cloth of our nation, and gone into harm's way know that to be successful we must have the strongest sense of trust in our Commander in Chief. We must be confident that he or she has listened to the best possible advice, that he or she has garnered the best possible information from all possible sources, that he or she has analyzed and weighed all the possible consequences and outcomes, and that he or she has made the decision to exert military force as a last possible resort,??? said Admiral (Ret.) Robert ???William??? Williamson (USN). ???Of this I am certain: Senator Obama will do all of those things and much more to ensure the safety and f reedom of our citizens, our allies, and coalition partners. He has all the great qualities and attributes required to carry out the most difficult duties of the Presidency.


    ???I spent a career involved in coalition warfare, and I am keenly aware of the importance of working with allies,??? said Brigadier General (Ret.) James Smith (USAF). ???Senator Obama brings a powerful approach to dealing with national security challenges by truly leveraging multinational relationships. He brings a new face of America to the rest of the world."


    ???In recent years, enticed to believe that these roles belonged to a chosen elite, each of us have paid an increasing price in loss of power, liberties, and national treasure. Today, by every measure, our current strategic situation is not good. It is from that perspective I believe only Senator Obama offers us the opportunity to reclaim our Republic, restore our national dignity and ensure our overall security. I salute his leadership, embrace his candidacy, and commend his courage.???

    Note: Russia's New President is D'Mitry Medvedev is (42 yrs Old) he is not a KGB Man, and keep in mind, Former CIA Director an Former 2 term Rep. VP and 1 term Rep. President, George H. Bush Sr. with all that "Experience" lasted only 1 term as USA President.

    Medvedev, is Russian Attorney of Law. Obama is 4 yrs Older than D'Mitry Medvedev, Russia's New President and also a Lawyer & Senator by profession .

    I Believe that a President should be between 45-59 yrss of age, 59 being the Legal Maximum age Allowed, in the USA.

    McCain is Too Old and his dates if "Withdrawal and Victory" (2013) if not longer, are Way off the Withdrawal Mark, as well as Staying for as long as 100 Yrs !!!

    McCain's Experience, is Experience, I can live and do without.

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. ??? Republican John McCain on Monday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for not having been to Iraq since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together.

    McCain: "Look at what happened in the last two years since Senator Obama visited and declared the war lost," the GOP presidential nominee-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview, noting that the Illinois senator's last trip to Iraq came before the military buildup that is credited with curbing violence.

    McCain: "He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time," the Arizona senator added. "If there was any other issue before the American people, and you hadn't had anything to do with it in a couple of years, I think the American people would judge that very harshly."

    McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war, frequently argues that he's the most qualified candidate to be a wartime commander in chief. In recent weeks, he has sought portray Obama, a first-term senator, as naive on foreign policy and "Not Experienced" enough to lead the Military.

    Note: The Iraq war, which polls have shown that most of the country opposes, is shaping up to be a defining issue in the November presidential election.

    McCain: Who wrapped up the GOP nomination in March, supports continued military presence in Iraq though he recently said he envisions "Victory" with Most U.S. Troops coming Home by (January 2013) if he's elected.

    Obama, who has all but Clinched the Democratic nomination, says he will remove U.S. combat troops within (16 months) of taking office, though sometimes he shortens it to (11 months).

    McCain: "For him to talk about dates for withdrawal, which basically is surrender in Iraq after we're succeeding so well is, I think, really inexcusable," said McCain, who has been to Iraq eight times, most recently in March.

    NewsWeek : U.S. Military, Early Withdrawl From Iraq (2009)

    http://www.newsweek.com/id/145848

    McCain, You are Done !!!


    Barack Obama is taking heat for hinting that he might refine his 16-month timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

    But a forthcoming Pentagon-sponsored report will recommend an even steeper drawdown in less time, NEWSWEEK has learned.

    If adopted, the 300-page report by a defense analysis group at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., could transform the debate about Iraq in the presidential election.

    Expected to be completed in about a month, it will recommend that U.S. forces be reduced to as few as 50,000 by the spring of 2009, down from about 150,000 now.


    The strategy is based on a major handoff to the increasingly successful Iraqi Army, with platoon-size U.S. detachments backing the Iraqis from small outposts, with air support. The large U.S. forward operating bases that house the bulk of U.S. troops would be mostly abandoned, and the role of Special Forces would increase.

    The report's conclusions have been discussed inside Secretary Robert Gates's Defense Policy Board, a body of outside experts. And they've found favor with some former members of the Iraq Study Group, such as former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta. "That's basically the approach we thought made sense--embedding some of our forces at smaller outposts, transferring major combat to the Iraqis," says Panetta.

    Like the Study Group, this report also calls for a regional diplomatic effort complementing negotiations with the Iraqi tribes, which echoes the previous recommendations of such analysts as John Arquilla, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School. "Even with a small leavening of American troops the Iraqis perform quite well," he says.

    The biggest problem: Iraq commander Gen. David Petraeus, who oversaw the surge, is said to oppose the recommendations, according to a Defense contractor who is privy to the discussions.

    Asked about the report, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told NEWSWEEK that Gates "feels the most important military advice he gets is from his commanders on the ground." As the next head of Central Command, Petraeus will soon have responsibility for Afghanistan and Pakistan too, which could change his views on troop deployments and the new report. Spokesman Col. Steve Boylan says Petraeus "is focused on Iraq at this point and will continue to be."

    It only justifies my belief that at least half of the electorate are brain-dead sheep. Regardless of what you think of Barack Obama, if you actually believe that John McCain is going to set this country on the right track you are extremely ignorant. Here is a VERY VERY (you sheep like repetition I heard) important example: The Middle-east is a very volitile place right now because of our policies and military actions there. Iran could potentially launch missles at Israel and every American base in the region. John McCain has sung "Bomb Iran" to the tune "Barbra Ann" (made famous but not written by the Beach Boys). He most recently joked that the increase in shipping cigarettes to Iran would be a good way "of killing them". The situation there is at a boiling point and the Republican nominee is joking about killing a bunch of Iranians? And half of the people polled still want to vote for him??? If I were Iran and McCain became president the first thing I would do is launch everything we had at Israel and the American forces in Iraq. Who would be laughing then?

    holyrollingpin we have asked you to get on your hands and knees and pray for forgiveness from the Muslim community. We will ask again that you do that because you don't seem to get the picture except through your distorted view of the world
    Obama is not Muslim, nor would I want him to be one because he is Christian. Do you know how to say that rolling pin? I guess not, because you are in the health care industry, perhaps you pop stuff to keep you going 24/7. So our advice to you is to check into rehab, deal with your Islamaphobia, see your psychiatrist, have him or her prescribe you some Xanax, and you will feel better. Perhaps you need your bottle or a hug and kiss from us. Well six of us are passing our hugs and kisses to you because your brain has a big boo boo. We feel sorry for such a damaged person, you, crackhead canadian and voteno should all join in a love fest in Woodstock. Perhaps you will go back to the 60's and feel so much better. There you go, now your back there, breathe a few more puff the magic dragons, and live happily ever after. I would personally suggest stronger meds, but this will do for the moment.

      holyroller, I don't usually agree with you but I did go and read the article that was posted. It was interesting.
      I have two theories on why nearly half of the kids 15-18 yrs old are engaging in sex..
      1. because they get exposed to too much sexual content via the media at too young of an age.
      2. President Clinton, the President of their early childhood, was such a good role model for the young people that he taught them that oral sex really wasn't sex and that if you get caught you should just lie about it .
      So is it any surprise that we now have 18yr olds and younger getting pregnant in increasing numbers?

        OMG, Lori, you slay me. I have to give you credit of your continued steady obsession of President Bill Clinton and his escapade. It is old news, You need to try to get over it. But I understand why you canot stop talking about it. Although Clintonian Syndrome (the unresolved obsession about Hilary and/or Bill Clinton) continues on some blogs, it has since been determined that the prognosis is uncurable. LmAO

        Half of the kids between 15-18 years old are having sex because they have not been educated on the consequences of their actions. The Netherlands begins sex education at the age of six and they have the lowest rate of teen pregnancies and teens with STDs in the world.

    U.S. could step up Iraq pullout in September: report

    http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTKM00295920080713

    Mccain is Finished !!!!

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Bush administration is considering withdrawing additional troops from Iraq beginning in September, The New York Times reported in Sunday editions, citing administration and military officials.

    The withdrawal, which the Times said would constitute a marked reversal from the war's darkest days of 2006-2007, stemmed partly from the need for more U.S. troops in Afghanistan to fight the rising insurgency by the Taliban and other fighters. U.S. and allied casualties there have outpaced those in Iraq in recent months.

    No final decisions have been made, but at least one and as many as three of the 15 combat brigades now in Iraq could be withdrawn, or slated for withdrawal, by the end of the administration in January, the Times said, citing officials.

    The White House declined to discuss the withdrawals, but spokesman Gordon Johndroe told the newspaper that while the president hoped to bring more troops home, he would await the recommendation in September of Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, the Times said.

    "For now," Johndroe said, "we will continue discussions with the Iraqis on our shared goals of a reduced U.S. troop presence," it quoted him as saying.

    Despite consensus among officials that fewer forces are needed in Iraq and more in Afghanistan, one senior administration official also cautioned that President George W. Bush would resist deep or rapid reductions if that threatened the prospects for a stable, democratic government in Iraq, the Times said.

    "There hasn't really been any discussion of numbers, and it's definitely based on conditions on the ground," the Times quoted a military officer in Baghdad as saying. Conditions "are a lot more favorable than in December or April or even two months ago," he added.

    But Petraeus, who leaves Iraq in September to head the U.S. Central Command, which also has oversight over the Afghanistan war, and has already begun the review of security and troop levels, is expected to be more cautious than some administration and Pentagon officials might want, the Times said. Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said Petraeus would more likely recommend a smaller reduction.

    The most optimistic course would be 120,000 to 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, the Times said, which would be down from the peak of 170,000 in 2007 after Bush ordered the troop increase.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/13/2008 3:08:17 AM

      Omaar, pls. explain why you state that McCain is finished? He was the one who went against Bush to push the surge effort which has abviously worked and has taken a course to re-evaluate the pullout of troops or reassignment of some troops to Afghanstan where the US should refocus some efforts millitary wise along with any other UN countries that we might need to focus on this area now which needs attention.

      • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/13/2008 3:40:37 AM

        Obama didnt really have a handle on the Iraq war status other than what he heard from the media cuz he had not been over there in over in IRAQ at least a month ago for over 900+ mo's compared to McCain who has been over there repeatedly over the years. He was like other democrats saying the surge did not work and that there has been enough deaths and to just pull out w/in 16 mos (immediately upon his getting into the White House). Now since challenged from McCain he is going over there and will find that McCain was correct and that the surge HAS worked but that as the repubs have said that even if there has been a surge that worked, the success is subject to sensitivity as to how we pull out. The republicans have been carefull. Obama has been promoting (thru primaries against Hillary) to get out immediately. I cant wait to see what the MainStreamMedia says about this Iraq wars stance now tomorrrow!.

        • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/13/2008 3:43:40 AM

          Correction: As of a month or so ago Obama had not been over in Iraq in over 900+ DAYS (not months) ago.

  • Posted By: TheVigil @ 07/11/2008 11:38:20 PM

    I truly don't believe that so many people are voting for the "experience" of John McCain after eight years of governance by a career politician with similar policies that have left the country a shambles. And with all the talk of Obama "flip-flopping", no one seems to have noticed that McCain's just about chucked everything that made him special - he used to be a centrist Republican, and he's steadily "flip-flopped" himself back towards the right in order to gain widespread acceptance amongst his party.

    I personally will still be voting for Obama. The man has my sincere respect - and I do think he has far more integrity than McCain. Karl Rove smeared McCain in 2000 by spreading rumors that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child, and in 2004 McCain gave an interview where he said there were "no hard feelings because it was all part of the political process." The second he signed off on that, I lost all respect for him, because it indicated to me that he both failed to stand up for his own beliefs - which I think has been repeated in his recent moves to the right over the electoral season - and that he would probably have no opposition to an election in which similar tricks were employed in the future.

    So for me, it's solidly Obama in 2008. I think he's a statesman and the best potential leader we've got.

        . . .and this blatant flip flop by Obama doesnt make you question his beliefs / integrity?

        OBAMA SAYS: Dont tell me words dont matter!


        OBAMA WORDS: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are TINY compared to the Soviet Union. They DONT pose a serious threat to us!


        TWO Days later . . .


        OBAMA WORDS: Iran is a GREAT threat! Iran is a GREAT threat, REALLY! Iran is a GREAT threat, I am not kidding here!

        WHAT does Obama really believe? What are we supposed to think if he tells us words DO matter.

          If you're going to quote someone's words, quote their *actual* words. Don't paraphrase in order to propagandize your own biases, or sane political followers aren't going to give you any credibility.

          I also notice that you left out the fact that those "TWO days" contained a rather provocative missile launch by Iran. Personally, I'd prefer it if Obama had toned down his rhetoric a bit post-missile-launch, but I definitely prefer it to McCain routinely blasting Iran and making a lot of comments about a potential war that would *shatter* the U.S. economy.

          War with Iran = loss of oil transit through the Straits of Hormuz = $10/gallon gasoline, almost certainly. If that happens, the major Detroit automakers, UPS, FedEx, large sections of American retail that depend on people driving to stores - even possibly the oil companies, because people just won't be able to afford to fill up their tanks at all and will have to find different employment closer to home - ALL go under or become critically weakened.

You all can too, if you're commenting on these threads - I'm kind of curious as to why you're all so ready to vote for someone who couldn't readily perform the task of logging onto an online news site and voicing an opinion there if he had to, without assistance?

    Comment: To all who read the rantings onthis racist homophobe, who is in bed with sinclair,
    as much "propaganda" as McCain did for the VC in his time there.(32 films FYI).
    Mr. Davidson, do you have proof of these purported 32 films that McCain made for the Viet Cong? Have you
    any idea of the brutality the VC inflicted upon US POW's during that period? Does McCain's purported
    cooperation with the enemy have anything to do with the fact that he cannot raise his arms above shoulder
    level? You're assertions are reprehensible. I'm guessing you're a postal carrier, government teacher or
    attorney. Or is your occupation simply internet bully? At least -- if I can believe your moniker -- you use an
    American product. Most American haters buy Japanese or Chinese crap.

And even though the US weapons inspectors said there were NO weapons, expolsives, or ammunition from Iran, and the latest NIE said Iran had backed away from uranium enrichment...why are you deterimined to take this country into another, a third war? Is it because of your "experience" and "Judgment"?

As for the flip flops as one person has repeated over and over i can understand is a Man misspeaks when making a speach. Id say Iran was country he didnt want in there.

    • Posted By: lololand @ 07/12/2008 6:37:35 AM

      So where did you get your facts that McCain sucked up to the Vietnamese? In fact the Vietnamese were so embarassed about McCain's resistance that they offered him a release that he REFUSED. PLEASE do your research before you post slanderous disinformation. Also understand that McCain is taking a lot of flack from the Republican party because he is so middle of the road co-sponsoring many bills with demogods. He is NOT Bush and you all are just knee jerk sheep for the lastest Starbucks flavor of the week. Left wing, or sheep Democrats are the biggest danger to this country as you will all gladly abdicate our individual rights so you can be politically correct with your friends. Obama is playing and praying on this thesis - he flip flops just like Kerry just to appease whomever he's addressing that particular night. Obama will take all your tax money and try to make this a socialist state with ever decreasing individual liberties. OK, if that's what you want, you'll get it and forget about what the constitution is all about - INDIVIDUAL freedom. Baaaa sheep.

        Comment: Very well written lololand. You know, Obama supporters cannot support their accusations about McCain but to use their imagination, just like they overinflate his (Obama) achievement which account for nothing. Please donot put an Illinois trained politician to the White house. It's a disaster. Look at the State of Illinois, They cannot even pass a budget.

          Jessica Lynch was a hero and went down fighting, until we found out the whole rescue was stage and it came out of her mouth. I do not believe McCain refuse anything. If it benefits him he will tell you what you want to hear. He is not an independent thinker. Do not feal sorry for a person just because he was a prisoner of war. Thatr does not give him the qualifications to be president. Remember Grorge Bush? If not, check you wallet.

            Funny, but my wallet always had more in it when a Republican President was in office. Everytime a Democrat has been in office, our military pay raises were well below the standard of living throughout the US and it seemed my taxes were higher.... You want to check your wallet? start calculating how much more will be deducted if Obama's Taxation plans go into effect to support all the socialistic plans he has already expressed a desire to implement. Many believe that "Only the Rich" will be affected. These people obviously are dillusional and are out of touch with reality and historical data.

              The two largest pay raises for the military were under Democratic presidents, Carter and Clinton. The Republicans have wanted smaller pay raises for the military in 2007 and 2008, but the Democratic controlled congress made them higher.

    If the stupid people in this country put another Republican in the White House, they deserve to be put out on the street and lose their jobs. They will, too. The policies Republicans have followed since 1981 have put us on the threshold of another great depression-- Bear Sterns, Indy Mack, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac... After the S&L crises of the 1980's anyone would half the brain of a housefly would never vote Republican. Need I say More.?

      Nonsense. Shows your ignorance of economics and policiy making in general, not to mention your total lack of understanding of history. Did you happen to notice who has been controlling Congress these past few years?
      Do you think it was Clinton who was responsible for what was happening with the economy during those years? You had better educate yourself before you run your mouth.

        Listen, you idiot, I have lived through that history. I have seen how the Republican Filth has run our national debt from about 200 Billion with Carter to 1 Trillion with Reagan to three Trillion with Daddy Bush to over Nine Trillion with Dubya. I saw good companies eviscerated by the Republicans' deregulation, leveraged buy-outs and their sending jobs oversees. You have the IQ of a snail!

          It was Obama's core advisory team who wrote those same laws that allowed the leveraged buy-outs, deregulation and the free trade policies - including the infamous NAFTA and World Trade Organization membership - which now has MORE saw about our US trade policies than does our government.

          You can thank Obama's team for the high unemployment, outsourced jobs, exported manufacturing plants, excessive supply of workers (legal and illegal) vying for the same limited jobs.

          Don't you think it's time we EXPORT the same politicians who exported our jobs?

            Actually it was Regan's policies of deregulation and leveraged buyouts

            You are only partially correct. I know some Democrats who signed on to that BS. Because they did voters had their heads in 1994 and put the RepubliKANS in charge of Congress. Actually that was cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. While the Democrats controlled congress they were a restraining force against RepubliKAN excess. When that restraint was removed things accelerated where now were are on the threshold of another great depression. However bad some Democrats are they at least leave the crumbs for the working man. RepubliKANS on the other hand are REVERSE ROBIN HOODS. They steal from the poor to give to the rich. Any Democrat is light years better than any RepubliKAN
