"OBAMA "HAS HIS DREAM TEAM""(eddiewhere 2008).. I am surprise that no one has used this term. I am sure I will hear it tomorrow. OBAMA HAS SELECTED HIS DREAM TEAM. THIS TEAM HAS ALL STAR CREDENTIALS. EACH OF THEM ARE HALL OF FAMERS. HILLARY, GATES, RAHM.
HOPEFULLY, THIS DREAM TEAM WILL KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE REAL THREAT RUSSIA AND CHINA. These two countries have already launched a very successful CYBER WAR against AMERICA. They are able to spy on our networks and steal our technological secrets and our patented software.
RUSSIA, INDIA AND CHINA ARE THE SUPERPOWERS OF THAT SIDE OF THE WORLD. They are the key to a multinational strategy. Managing these realtionships is like walking a tight rope(eddiewhere 2008). China and India are always at odds and have a delicate relationship to say the least. I know ZaKaria wrote an article on this relationship six months ago. He needs to write another one.
Another situation that needs to be monitored closely is ORGANIZED CRIME IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY when it comes to cyber crime and nuclear weapons. These Eastern European countries are a potential conduit for passing NUKES to terrorists.
These Terrorists will be based in the Five MUSLIM breakaway REpublics in Central ASIA( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistanan) . They can potentially form an alliance with China, who has a long history of strained relationships with INDIA. To the MUslims India is an enemy and a traitor. Remeber how Hitler rose to power, a depressed economy in EUROPE. THESE REPUBLICS in Central Asia have all the same elements.. Russia and CHina will form an alliance based on their mutual FRICTION with INDIA(WHO IS CHALLENGING TO BE THEY PREMIER SUPERPOWER IN ASIA).
LOOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN EASTERN EUROPE CAN GAIN ACCESS to them and sell them to terrorists.
THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE 5 MUSLIM STATES IN CENTRAL , AND CHINA IS A Big Threat.
"OBAMA IS NOW THE WORLD"S FIRST PRESIDENT" eddiwhere 2008.. CAN HE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA INORDER TO PREVENT THESE FIVE MUSLIM REPUBLICS FROM SLIPPING DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO ECONOMIC DEPRESSION. ONCE AGAIN REMEMBER HOW HITLER ROSE TO POWER A DEPRESSED ECONOMY IN GERMANY WHO WAS TORCHERED ECONOMICALLY AFTER WORLD WAR ONE BY THE ALLIES RUSSIA, FRANCE AND BRITAIN. RUSSIA IS DOING THE SAME TO ITS FORMER REPUBLICS UKRAINE ect.....
OBAMA IS LIKE THE COACH OF THE DREAM TEAM(BASKETBALL) TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT HE HAS A PLAN TO MAKE JORDON, BIRD AND MAGIC WORK TOGETHER AS ONE FORCE TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. OR LEBRON, KOBY AND PAUL PIERCE. I AM SURE HE CAN AND WILL DO JUST FINE AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE THE ENVY OF THE WORLD AGAIN.
OBAMA HAS HIS DREAM TEAM AND ALL THE TOOLS FOR A MUCH NEEDED GLOBAL STRATEGY.
P.S. REMEMBER BARAK YOUR BLACKBERRY HAS ALREADY BEEN HACKED.

As the team turns from campaigning through MyBarackObama.com to the transition on Change.gov, you can see it dialing back on some of the more freewheeling exchanges. On MyBO, so many Web communities took shape over the last two years and so many comments were being posted daily that when Senator Obama offended many of his admirers last summer by voting for a revised electronic-surveillance law known as the FISA bill, an insurgency erupted on his own site. As one of the milder posts put it, "Like many longtime Obama supporters, I am growing increasingly troubled over what appears to be a developing pattern of compromise that is making Mr. Obama appear more and more like every other politician that we've seen for the past few decades."
At the time, Obama scored points with supporters by allowing the FISA rebellion to run its course. That, decidedly, was not like other politicians. But Change.gov isn't taking such chances, at least for the time being. Instead of posting all comments on "community blogs," it's having Obama advisers read the e-mail, filter it and respond on YouTube videos. Since there may be upward of 10,000 comments on a specific subject, and a video clip is only going to last about five minutes, it would seem there's little risk of straying off-message.
Gensemer told me over the phone a couple of weeks ago that he and his colleagues at Blue State Digital pick and choose their mostly left-wing causes and clients very carefully. "Our progressive idealism will always be intact," he said. Thus among the many accounts they signed up after working on the Howard Dean presidential bid in 2004 have been Save Darfur, George Soros's Americans Coming Together and Al Gore's We Can Solve It. "The key is not about technology, not about design," Gensemer said. "It's about having a message."
But the more Gensemer described the mechanics of the operations, the more obvious it became just how widely available the basic tools are to anyone with any cause or message, and they're not just about spreading information but inciting action. "You are building fundamentally, at first, a mailing list," Gensemer told me. There should be a very low barrier for entry, and once someone has joined "you build on that relationship by building a campaign narrative": we are going to change things, yes we can. E-mails go out asking people to do more than sympathize. "Virtual" and "viral," those overused words that suggest passive viewing, are not part of the Blue State program. "Those e-mails that go out are asking people to perform action after action after action," said Gensemer. One of the founders of Facebook was on the Obama team, and there are many similarities with the major networking sites. But this is about much more than "create your profile and post your picture," as Gensemer put it. Those running MyBO saw very quickly who was responding to what message and when, and unlike Obama's Facebook and MySpace pages, on each of which he had about a million "friends," at MyBO "we own the data," said Gensemer.
The incitement to organize and act is combined with the existence of infrastructure already on the ground. During the Democratic Party caucuses early this year, for instance, "the goal was if somebody signed up with a post code in Iowa, it was expected that a paid organizer would contact them by e-mail or phone," said Gensemer. Eventually, MyBO was giving its partisans the wherewithal to create their own teams. You can see this process, which raked in hundreds of millions of dollars, presented quite matter of factly on the "MyBO tour" on YouTube. "Next I am going to show you how to set up your own personal fundraising page where you can set a goal, track your progress with a thermometer, and write a personal message to your friends and family about why they should donate," explains a young woman at MyBO. "So, I am going to go ahead and set my goal for $1,000, which might seem like a lot, but you'd really be surprised by how much you'll be able to raise if you are able to convey why this is so important to you."
With everyone from Bibi to Zawahiri watching and learning from such techniques, it's fair to say the surprises have only just begun.
