Billary wore a headscarf when she was first lady during their visit to a mosque in Turkey. The picture shows Obama's ability to relate to the culture of the others, a quality which current administration lack. |

You can be certain that this photo will be published again and again, over and over. Hillary Clinton started it, and if Obama is the nominee, some members of the right will pick it up and take off down the field. There will be no qualifying description of a Somali outfit, or any thoughtful discussion. The photo will be used to create the obvious comparison with the clothes of bin Laden. Is this fair? Obviously not. Is it outrageous? Certainly. But amused chortles of contempt will not change the fact that it will become as well known as Dukakis in the tank or Muskie crying in the snow. |

Re: Thoughts on Obama
I think the nomination process is doing its job. Rather than "rubber stamp" a person to be the nominee, the primaries have brought out the essential characteristics of each candidate.
For Clinton, unfortunately, the we have an image of a moody, viscious, two-faced control-freak who will literally "say and do anything to get elected." In Obama, we have seen a deliberate, inspirational, productive, come-from-behind, positive, uplifting, and hopeful visionary who believes in us, even more than he believes in himself. The contrast is stark! The "first woman president" will have to wait. Perhaps Obama can provide us with the "first woman VP" (not HRC). The worrisome part is that we may have to deal with Clinton again in 2012! This year, though, I doubt if even Bill could beat Obama. However, it is still to early to "count our chickens." |

Inspiration and positive thinking are nice and can be vital at times, but they are no substitute for poor policy - or no policy at all. There is a great deal of sugar syrup in Obama's campaign and very little meat at this point. In a national election, he will have to sell a lot more than sentimental syrup. |

Re: Thoughts on Obama
I think you may need to take a breath..no here thinks it a big deal...you are keeping it alive dude......
BUT...theres always this, from Mr Good Judgement ... Mansion 'mistake' piles the pressure on Barack Obama British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses. The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago. A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr Obama's bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million. Three weeks later, Mr Obama bought a house on the city's South Side while Mr Rezko's wife bought the garden plot next door from the same seller on the same day, June 15. Mr Obama says he never used Mrs Rezko's still-empty lot, which could only be accessed through his property. But he admits he paid his gardener to mow the lawn. Mrs Rezko, whose husband was widely known to be under investigation at the time, went on to sell a 10-foot strip of her property to Mr Obama seven months later so he could enjoy a bigger garden. Mr Obama now admits his involvement in this land deal was a “boneheaded mistake”. Mrs Rezko’s purchase and sale of the land to Mr Obama raises many unanswered questions. It is unclear how Mrs Rezko could have afforded the downpayment of $125,000 and a $500,000 mortgage for the original $625,000 purchase of the garden plot at 5050 South Greenwood Ave. In a sworn statement a year later, Mrs Rezko said she got by on a salary of $37,000 and had $35,000 assets. Mr Rezko told a court he had "no income, negative cash flow, no liquid assets, no unencumbered assets [and] is significantly in arrears on many of his obligations."

bull!@#$. The US's proper role in the world is to stop trying to police it.And Obama is not likely to understand that anymore than the past 10 or Presidents the US has had. True, Obama is not a moron like the current Pres. But his foreign policy won't be all that different. He'll keep US troops in Iraq and maintain the interests of the MIC and the staus quo of US intervention and biased military foreign aid abroad. Obama, like bush, is more or less a Neocon. Quote:
In fact, the US' military enemies, i. e. Iran, may actually prefer someone more like bush to Obama, because a moron Pres--in spite of his ideology--can be easily manipulated. Iran had no problem duping bush and exploiting his current political situation to its advantage. With Obama, that won't be as easy
