A Highly Logical Approach

I always said if by some miracle Obama became president, he would be eaten alive by Washington, would never accomplish anything and would be a one term president. Obama needs to move full force with gay rights in marriage/serving openly in the military, ending Iraq, saving Social Security, backing renewable clean energy and setting up a single-payer government managed universal healthcare system - JUST LIKE WE ELECTED HIM TO DO. We do NOT care about the GOP and bipartisanship. They had eight years and all they did was screw up the country. We voted in a Democratic Congress to help Obama get the job done, SO DO IT ALREADY or we'll elect someone else that will. I think the media and pundits are being ignorant if they think if Obama won't get the job done, we'll turn back to the GOP again. WRONG - 2012 is when the independents, disillusioned Dems and moderate Repubs turn away from both parties to elect an independent visionary who will finally get the job done with bold leadership. Just exactly when did our government stop being a representative democracy?

"I welcome a debate about how we can make sure our regulations work for businesses and consumers," Obama said. "But what I will not accept - what I will vigorously oppose - are those who do not argue in good faith." As this quote clearly points out Obama once again gets to the heart of it and 'calls a spade a spade'. He simply doesn't always have all of the best answers but he really seems to continually have the honesty and conscience to sincerely identify and address the problems, something not seen enough in politics. As far as not always having the best answers, he states he "welcome(s) a debate" and in the past he has completely encouraged compromise with the intent of finding the real best solutions, which actually should be the single focus of an honestly conscientious congress. The Associated Press article continues, [By that, Obama said, he meant those who defend the status quo at any cost. He didn't name any people or organizations, but said special interests are already mobilizing to fight change. He called that typical Washington. "These are the interests that have benefited from a system which allowed ordinary Americans to be exploited," Obama said. The president said he would stand up for his plans, saying: "While I'm not spoiling for a fight, I'm ready for one. The most important thing we can do to put this era of irresponsibility in the past is to take responsibility now."] Really, who can deny that the Special Interests and Republicans who are loudly criticizing and aggressively trying to block everything, while offering no real solutions and only hoping to return to 'more of the same', are nothing more than obstructionists irresponsibly playing politics and focused only on their own selfish interests. Obama's responsible approach to conscientiously focus on what is right for the people is what this country desperately needs but to be really effective it has to be coupled with a Senate and Congress who put politics aside and conscientiously focus on fine tuning everything. Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever should see this truth and demand that our representatives/candidates drop their deceptive and exploitive politics, with their focus on only benefiting a few, and begin to "in good faith" debate and cooperate to achieve what is best for the people, which is their only real responsibility. To loose this opportunity and return to 'more of the same' would be disastrous.

barak obama takes his time, research the problem, research solutions, utilize the think tank to analyze solutions, select a
solution.

HOW COME WE'RE STILL HEARING FROM REPUBLICANS? DIDN'T THEY GET THE MEMO/ YOUR PARTY DIED LAST NOVEMBER AND NOBODY ATTENDED THE SERVICES.

Mr. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, one of the framers of the Constitution of the United States, published his diary in which he says:

"Dr. Benjamin Franklin, a venerable figure weighed down by years and wisdom, leaned one hand on his staff, the other on the table and said, 'There is a greater menace to these United States of America than the strictly Roman....

'This greater menace, gentlemen, is the Jew!

'In whatever country Jews have settled in any great numbers they have lowered its moral tone; they have depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves; have not assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which this nation is founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state, and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially.

.. 'If you do not exclude them from the United States in his Constitution, in less than two hundred years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, change our form of government for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance, jeopardized our liberty, and put into it our best thoughts.

Dr. Benjamin Franklin

USA must STOP his Unconditonal Love towards Isreal immedately for the Sake of its Own Natonal Security,We all Know that Isrealis are indirectly happy to turn many Islamic fanatics to become "Terrorists"with their cleverly creations now emerging terorists existence looks like a real security treat to Isrealis and the world.
A country with Nuclear Power capabilities cannot be compares with neigboring countries that doesn't have proper arms,let alone Nuclear Power,with that reasons makes them continously Slaughters his neigbors.Now we all understood why the German's Nazi saw and single hand out them from other many various ethnic group as very dangerous minds capable with gven opportunity to be brillant manipulators .Real facts.

A Zionist,a only single country with Nuclear Power capability in Middle-East with USA blessing and total support by USA continously with financial ,Arsenal Supports.
Lucky now President Obama start to realise this Huge mistakes made by past US Presidents President Obama intiatate Isreal to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty directly to Visiting Isrealis Prime Minister now to try correct US past.

Afganistan,Iran,Iraq,many US former Allies,now becoming US enemies,Most recently Pakistan,Iran under real pressure by Islamic Extremist ,What worrying Facts now Countries like Turkey,Eygpt,Jordan,Saudi Arabia, a very Close US partner start to crack up if USA doesn't make a Change 180 turn around or we might likely to Loose them as Amercan close Allies.

Today's Turkey is a part of the Islamic world, supporter of Russian Eurasian policy, a kind neighbor and partner of its historical opponents, Iran and Syria. The quadrilateral alliance is here but its members are different. This is an alliance of Eurasian states: Russia - Turkey - Iran - Syria.
Since the end of the last decade, Russia has made desperate efforts to return to Middle Eastern politics as a superpower. Thus it has, for example, strengthened relations with Iran and Syria.
This policy reached its apogee when, in defiance of Washington's fierce protests, Moscow cooperated with Tehran in the nuclear sphere, and in a pointedly royal manner embraced Bashar Asad during his visit to Russia in January 2005, writing off Syria's debt and signing the agreement on missile deliveries to Damascus (see below).
Turkey, in its turn, is panicking after Saddam Hussein's overthrow, fearing creation of a Kurdish state in Iraq. Aspiring to prevent such a succession of events, Ankara has been drawn to Iran and Syria. Sworn enemies turned if not friends, then allies, in almost no time.
Iran has committed to adding the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) to its " terrorist organizations" list. Turkey has done the same concerning the Iranian group "Mojahedin Halk". The parties have announced an upcoming doubling of the volume of their trade..
American attempts to prevent this visit and the subsequent rapprochement between recent enemies was a failure.

Seems to me Obama may well be going the way of Carter.
Carter recieved the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in bringing peace to the Middle East but failed in his effort to resurect the economy that he inherited from Nixon and has hardley enjoyed the respect and prestige he deserved.
Like the man said "Its the economy stupid"
the sad part of that is the economy of the US will continued to decline to the level Globalization demands; IE: equality of Americans working class and the working class of China and India.
And of course the possiblity of yet another nut job Republican administration that will again hasten that decline.

damn ths KEYBOARD got stuck and srew-up.....go to Hell anyway

Bush went to Haravard,Yale? damn right he can afford it anywhere World Universitythe Queston How Much contribution you want to make made 5 ml;lon,10mllon? you can Go cambrdge or Oxford too,ncludng the Moon IF he wants to,Many World Leader sand Monarchy "SONS AND DAUGHTERS" can select which ELITE school even with Half the BRAIN they able to go this elite University.,With his Influential Familiy background,His Grandfather Presscott Bush as US,Senator and ,His Father as US.President,but they didn't able to cover the Americans Eyes to distinguish between a BOLT or a NUT.

The United States government classification system is established under Executive Order 13292, the latest in a long series of executive orders on the topic. Issued by President George W. Bush in 2003, Executive Order 13292 replaces earlier executive orders on the topic and lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U.S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments.[2]

The desired degree of secrecy about such information is known as its sensitivity. Sensitivity is based upon a calculation of the damage to national security that the release of the information would cause. The United States has three levels of classification: confidential, secret, and top secret. Each level of classification indicates an increasing degree of sensitivity. Thus if one holds a top-secret security clearance, one is allowed to handle information up to the level of top-secret including secret and confidential information. If one holds a secret clearance, one may not then handle top-secret information, but may handle secret and confidential classified information.

By law, information may not be classified merely because it would be embarrassing or to cover illegal activity; information may only be classified to protect national security objectives.

crimminal HILTER or WORLD LEADERS should have thought this special protected EXECUTIVE ORDERS SYSTEM under German's country SECURITY from any FOREIGN INTERNATIONAL COURTS gettng HOLD ANY HIS CRIMMINAL ORDER UNDER classfied Country TOP SECURITY Documents.CRIMMINAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS wth this VITAL Court Documents Evidence there's NO CASE..

Yow, what a lot of people with diverging agendas resorting to smear topics on issues not related to a damn thing but their personal hangups and prejudices. Anybody want to talk about the article and the fact that Obama laid out the reason why the prisoners at Guantanamo who are suspected of being terrorists cannot be tried in American courts?? It requires comprehenshion i.e cannot b tried under article IV and reading between the lines i.e. if they cannot be tried in our judicial system because they were coerced into giving evidence harmful to their case (torture), then the only alternative is a military tribunal. You can then make the deduction that this is precisely why the Bush administration decided to use military tribunals, as they knew that any court of law would have thrown their asses out because of coerced evidence. This is a big deal and gives a lot of insight on the previous eight years and some of their decision making. It also proves to Bush bashers that these folks were not stupid but rather made mistakes in the interest of national security then tried to recover the fumble. To all those "higher than thous' on either side of the aisle, please use your limited resources to put yourself in teh position of both people who have been incarcerated wrongfully at Gitmo, many of who have been released, and those on teh other side making teh decisions in teh aftermath of 911. We went too far in many instances and now we have to clean up the mess, as we always do and have done in our history alonjg with every other nation on this earth. Problem is, innocent people pay with their blood!
