Obama '08?

Roxie-

I know you did English at school for a long time but have you any idea of how meaningless that post is?

From Foxnews.com




Obama! WEAK on national security!

Hillary Clinton's main talking point during this campaign seems to be her "35 years of experience." Let's take a look at some of the "major" ones she trying to take credit for.

ON CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE:
THE BOTTOM LINE: The record suggests Clinton did indeed lobby for children's health coverage but that many others were responsible as well. And it also shows that her husband nearly killed the idea before it ever got off the ground.

ON NORTHERN IRELAND:
THE BOTTOM LINE: Clinton played a role in hearing the concerns of Irish women left out of the peace process, and in encouraging them to put pressure on their countrymen to pursue negotiations. But that does not mean she rolled up her sleeves and conducted or led the talks that resulted in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

MACEDONIAN REFUGEES:
THE BOTTOM LINE: In the case of Macedonia, Clinton engaged in personal diplomacy that brought about change. But securing the return of American business partners is not the same as the opening of borders to thousands of refugees. That accomplishment was a result of broader U.S. and European efforts during the war.

Obama on Port Security (a bigger threat than Los Morenos)

BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (AP) - Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama joined seven U.S. senators Friday to urge Wal-Mart, America's largest importer, to drop opposition to a bill that would require scanning of all U.S.-bound cargo containers for possible terrorist nuclear bombs.

Nine senators, 21 members of the House of Representatives and a group of relatives of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks signed letters to Wal-Mart Chief Executive Lee Scott as part of a campaign by WakeUpWalMart.com, a union-funded group critical of the retailer.

WakeUpWalMart.com said it was "mind-boggling" that Wal-Mart would oppose strengthening port safety and accused the retailer of putting profits before national security.

Wal-Mart said it supports enhanced port security but that it continues to oppose the scanning mandate because the technology has not been tested.

Roxy quoted-



It wouldn't reassure me if I was on the front line. It has not one iota of meaning. It's hot air. Can't you see it?

You should start a fanzine.

What on earth does "strengthening port safety" mean.

They used to put a chain across the entrance in the old days.

Very little danger of that.

Well now apparently writing a letter to Wal-mart, who has no authority of any kind over port security, is getting TOUGH.

Ah Duh! That would be port security like preventing terrorsits from bringing in material for a "dirty bomb" through our ports.

Alienated in the U.S.A.

nappy, Thanks for sharing that Newsweek article. It's interesting to see how different minorities in the US reacted to our varied experiences and opinions about our perceptions and opinions about them.

"securing our borders" is a racist buzzword? I knew you were bordering insane, but you need serious help.

Yep I might indeed be insane but you are an idiot, my insanity can be cured, you will be an idiot the rest of your life.

And for those of you with an IQ above that of a flea, "securing our borders" has become a euphemism for keeping Wetbacks out and it is indeed a racist buzzword.

Aside from the posts you provide here which I think are totally unhinged, I would suggest you get help, seriously. What in the world have you undergone that has caused you to be in this state of affairs? Childhood? What is it? I sense that many liberals are very angry people, but in all seriousness, Roxxxanne, anger is very self destructive, and you need something to relieve your distress that is taking you nowhere.

If you think I am angry, you are really far more stupid than they everybody says you are.

And since you are so into psychoanalysis, look up the term projection.

This is one of the reasons I'm hesitant about how much Obama will be able to really accomplish as president.

WASHINGTON - Senators in both political parties are insisting on their right to send pet projects back to their states, even though presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton joined with GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain in voting to ban them for one year.

I'm not totally convinced he can change things either, c.i.

But...wouldn't you rather we had someone who would TRY?

The Media Repeats Stream of Lies About Obama



He's a Muslim. He was sworn into office on the Koran. He doesn't say the Pledge of Allegiance. His pastor is an anti-Semite. He's a tool of Louis Farrakhan. He's anti-Israel. His advisers are anti-Israel. He's friends with terrorists. The terrorists want him to win. He's the Antichrist.
