    From: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/rnc-obama--acorn-fact/story.aspx?guid=%7B29569FA1-136D-4B95-9D51-4EF9E87ED547%7D&dist=hppr

    Obama's Campaign Paid Over $800,000 To ACORN For Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts, But "Mistakenly Misrepresented" Their Work To The FEC:

    Obama's Campaign "Paid More Than $800,000" To ACORN For Get-Out-The Vote Efforts; The Campaign Originally "Misrepresented" The Group's Work To The FEC. "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in 'get-out-the-vote' projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary." (David M. Brown, "Obama To Amend Report On $800,000 In Spending," Pittsburgh Tribune Review, 8/22/08)

    The link below describes how some in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money eventually recovered to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See:

    Wana sits squarely on the trail used by Islamic fighters traveling from the Swat region to the heated battlefield in Southeastern Afghanistan, on the northern edge of the Baluch region. This is the border area between the multinational Pashtun and Baluch tribes. The Taliban are primarily a Pashtun movement. It appears that the goal of the US is to use these inter-tribal hostilities to erase the borders of the two countries. In 2005, al-Qaeda and the Taliban took over this area, "transforming Baluchistan from a logistics center to an operational base." http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?articleid=2369909

    The sparsely populated Baluch area is also home to Pakistan's huge reserves of natural gas, the chosen route for the India-Iran gas lines, and several nuclear research and delivery sites. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/facility/pakistan-fac3.gif Recent attacks by Jundallah terrorists into Iran came from this region.

    Cuba, Vietnam. Laos, Cambodia, Iran, Somalia, Iraq. Let our friends, allies and the innocents die, by the millions if necessary. Just so long as they are not Americans. We are the Democratic Party, and for 50 years, from the Bay of Pigs to the Basra Highway and beyond, we have never met a fight we could not pressure our government to run away from, or friends and allies we could not abandon. Only the French are more defeatist than we, but together America, we can change that. And its change we can believe in. Come on America, and vote Democrat. It's the story of our generation. Together, we can re-live that pride we haven't felt since the 1970's. If we just blindly pull together, this really can be Jimmy Carter's second term.

    McCain is losing the election. The only approach now is to chuck the low road for the lower road politics. Losers use lies and dirty tricks. Yesterday, Palin shouted "other", "fear", "exotic", "elitist", "terrorist", coded racism terms, and showing her stripes as a mean girl with a potty mouth. She needs more than a "time out" for such bad behavior in such serious times. McCain & Palin will lose (as losers) in a landslide victory for Obama.

    This is a shallow article. Why don't you relate the entire foreign policy and national security changes the Obama/Biden administration will make. Instead of treating the world as myAmerica only or go the highway with "bombings" and preemptive attacks under the 1% Bush doctrine, why not use broad ingredients from both the State AND Defense department and new measurements such as "cybersecurity", "biosecurity", "economic security"?
