Barack Hussein Obama is already leading the country
Author: Raine Date: 07/17/2008 12:13:09

Barack Obama is already giving us change we can believe in... and don't think for a minute he isn't. Today we learn we are sending Diplomats to Iran. Yes, Iran - for the first time in nearly 30 years. This comes after months of *ush and McCain attacking Barack Obama for being an appeaser for saying said that he would be willing to have diplomatic relations with that country.

They did the same to Barack Obama after he said he would be willing to strike Al Queda in Pakistan. Guess what? Bush did exactly that a few months later.

Barack wants America to remember the other war... Afghanistan... and suddenly, *ush does too. Same policies same ideas... Ones that McCain and *ush and all of the other GOP water-carriers lambasted him for...

Same type of rhetoric happened with Korea... see a pattern? There are many more examples of this.

What I see is a man - Barack Obama - who has the sense to say the unpopular thing at times, but what will ultimately be for the good of the United States and how we're are viewed in other countries. I see a man who truly wants to make this world a safer place. I see a man that is willing to take the attacks from the right because he knows that this country must change course. I see a man that refuses to lead with saber rattling and fear.

I wonder what John McCain will do today when he wakes up and has his wife read him the news about Iran on the computer machine. It was only a few days ago, he joked about killing them all with cigarettes. How very diplomatic.

In the end, Barack Obama is already leading this country, his words are changing the course. It's sad that he cannot really take credit for it, but I will give it to him anyway. I will take a president Obama anyday over a man that doesn't seem to know that Czechoslovakia doesn't exist anymore. That is NOT change I can believe in. I want to believe, again, badly.

:peace: and

Raine

Good Morning, and great post!

I, for one, am ready to hate the new president much less than the old.

The only way it works is with president Obama.

I think the "panel" audience was a little off putting for Mama - they were not a comedy audience and were a bit subdued? Most comedians work off the energy and reaction of the audience - that was lacking. IMO

First I am SO slow I didn't know what SYTYCD meant! (I figured it out) but you have to understand I really am not on top of this stuff . . That being said.

I am not allowed to watch - Queen Joy (she's really a dictator) doesn't enjoy my smart-ass comments so I have to go do other stuff. However, I have a little update from her highness. . . .

Mark and Gev are the bottom boys (no inuendo) - Bottom girls Comfort and Kherington. . .

New pairing Joshua and Courtney were GREAT as well as Will and Katee . . .

One of the better shows . . . Totally bugged Comfort was brought back but she did well so . . .

Actually I heard a story on NPR a while back about the guy that makes the pope's custom shoes & boots by hand.. apparently the same family's been making hand-crafted shoes for popes for several generations.

Tell Joy -

No not Mark!

I'll have to check the youtubes for Josh and Cortney (see remember me of Zooey Dechannel for some reason). Love Will, he's amazing with whatever he dances. And while I think Comfort is great, she really should have gone last week.

Ya know, I'm really surprised that the media hasn't really reminded us this year that JFK Jr. is still dead.

But I'm sure they won't miss the opportunity when Princess Diana's anniversary rolls around in September...

Oh, this USAIR story about pilots being forced to carry less fuel is bullpuckey, BTW.

On any flight, minimum FAA requirements mean you carry fuel for the flight, plus 20% more for anticipated delays, plus more to reach two alternate airports up to 200 miles away.

That's absolute; no commercial plane leaves the ground unless these minimums are met.

Were USAir is cracking down is on the "extra" fuel...often it's easier to carry far more fuel than necessary to cut down on refueling time, but you've got to burn more gas to carry that weight.

This piece supports the Tri!

Ask the pilot

John Nance Garner once described the office of the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss." [This quote was Bowdlerized for many decades to "not worth a bucket of warm spit" by the media. The incorrect version is still used on occasion by writers who say they never heard or read it any other way. Garner once described a writer who quoted it this way as a "pantywaist."

Great Diary from Kos:

Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman On Meet The Press, October 21st, 2001:

RUSSERT: Would you have any problem expanding President Bush's orders to the CIA to go after Osama bin Laden to include Saddam Hussein?

LIEBERMAN: Well, I leave that to the president. But as a matter of principle and morality, of course not.

RUSSERT: Senator McCain?

MCCAIN: I think Joe's right.

And I would just like to add one additional point. I believe that we will succeed. We will endure in Afghanistan. We will take out bin Laden, and we will take out the Taliban. And then we've got a major challenge of a stable government, but...

RUSSERT: How long will that take?

MCCAIN: I think the longer we give the impression that we're there for, the shorter it'll be. Because, as you quoted from articles earlier, they think they can outlast us. I don't think they can this time.

RUSSERT: Do you believe the American people will continue to stay with that campaign?

MCCAIN: Absolutely, and I think the president is doing a great job in leading America and making us aware of the challenge we face.

But I think the real crunch is going to come after Afghanistan is settled and then we have to address the other countries, including Iraq. That's where the coalition may not be so strong. That's where people like the Saudis and the French and many others may have real reservations.

And so, we're going to have to be steadfast. And again, the president will continue and, I think, very eloquently stated, countries that harbor these terrorist organizations will be held responsible, so it'll be their choice, not ours. It'll be their choice.

RUSSERT: But after Afghanistan, you'd have no problem going after Saddam Hussein?
