I think you have been drinking the MoveOn kool-aid too much. Obama
is the most socialist senator in the Congress and his policies have
reflected such. If you're happy that's great but I will be even
happier when you share your wealth with me because I certainly will
need it when there are no more jobs to go around and energy costs
skyrocket. Let us know if you're still happy in two years.



Promised, I will. Until then, how about you start using your own
brains? Try it, thinking on your own is a wonderful feeling, better
than sex.




Using your own brains please tell me how you envision President Obama
and Pelosi/Reid making the world and especially America a better place.
If possible piggyback on the points made by original poster or just
raise your own.



Much of the world sees us very differently than we see ourselves, in the
vein of war in Iraq
for oil (democracy)...........all the tripe about "evil empires" ignores
the fact that much of their
population does not support the evil leader. In that regard, it pays to
"talk to the enemy" and
bring to light the bad guys policies/actions. We had outpouring of
support after 9/11, but lost
a good deal of it because of Iraq. It pays to have friends, just as if
the bully down the block
is picking on the kids - going it alone sometimes just doesn't work.
Have our own suspect
elections, while we "police" elections in other countries is a good
example of how to lose
friends. Don't forget, we were for Saddam Hussein before we were
against him; repeat
ad nauseum for many other countries. Pakistan is another example, with
leader trying
to support us but in a very perilous position with his own nuke-powered
countrymen.
