Palin Turns Focus to National Security

Right, Sarah Palin has the credibility on foreign policy to make these charges….

I used to support Barack Obama, but Barack Obama says he relies on his judgement, particularly to listen to good advice. he chides Sen. McCain for saying, “I don’t know as much about the economy as I do military issues,” when in fact he’s the one that knows next to nothing about the economy. what has he done that makes us think he knows about the economy? because he “cares” about the middle class… like every other politician in Washington D.C.? He has never run a city, but he’s criticized small town mayors. he has never run a state; he has never run a business, but he will criticize businesspeople. He’s not even qualified to run a Dairy Queen… if he were to apply for a job at Dairy Queen right now, he wouldn’t be offerred the job of “manager,” maybe cashier and work his way up, but he is unqualified. Just today, Pres. Clinton said Barack Obama’s response to the financial crisis, which he called Sen. McCain’s erratic, Sen. Obama told his advisors, “tell me what is right, and I will sell it.” United States Presidents have access to the brightest minds in the world, that is uniform. Who he listens to depends on the person in the Oval Office. Who does Sen. Obama listen to? His spiritual advisor: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Education reform: William Ayers. Community affairs: ACORN. Foreign issues: Rashid Khalidi. These are the people who have had Sen. Obama’s ear in the past; these people are too radical.

PALIN WILL TURN THE INTEREST ANY WHERE BUT TO HER MEDICAL RECORDS.
IS SHE BI-POLAR? HAS SHE BEEN IN REHAB? DOES SHE HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR? HAS SHE HAD AN ABORTION? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THESE THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE A HEART BEAT AWAY FROM BEING PRESIDENT OF A SUPER POWER WITH NUCLEAR CAPIBLITIES. McCAIN IS THE OLDEST CANIDATE EVER!

I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!

And since when are stories about people’s economic difficulties “warm and fuzzy”??? What a big heart she has….NOT

What I don’t understand is why this race is as close as it appears to be. It concerns me that there are that many people buying into the lies and distortions of the McCain campaign. One can only hope that reason prevails.

To Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin Republicans,
Remember the S-3B Viking aircraft President Bush used to land on the carrier to unfurl
his mission accomplished banner? They are almost all gone! Surprise, Surprise! The fleet of 150 aircraft in service have all been eliminated
because of the failed,isolatioist defense policies of Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin.
Invest a dime call public affairs at NAS Jacksonville, Florida, 904-542-2338
and ask them where all the Vikings have gone? And while you’re at it ask them
where 50 P-3 Orions have gone as Bush-Cheney-McCin-Palin have gutted out sea/control and patrol aircraft fleets. Ask them what happened to their navy
reserve VP- squadrons? They’ve been gutted,too. No wonder piracy is on the increase around the world.
McCain wears his Navy hat like a crown but all the jewels have been lost.
On July 13th 9 US Army soldiers were killed in a Taliban raid in Afghanistan
and immediately what stood out was inadequate actical airpower. Ask the
Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin folks why tactical airpower was gutted in the
last 2005 BRAC under a REPUBLICAN Congress? Ask them why retired VAdm Dunn
has recently issued a statement that Navy and Marine Corps aviation has a shortfall of 125 FA-18 Hornet/SuperHornet derivatives?
Why did Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin
policies reduce SuperHornet production rates while fighting two wars?
We had over 100 AC-47/AC-119/AC-130 gunships in Vietnam even while we were
acively withdrawing forces, today we have less than 20 operational AC-130s?
Call DoD public affairs 1-703-697-5131 and ask them why we’re in an isolationist posture fighting two wars?
Has the new defense policy morphed from ‘drill, baby,drill,’ to ‘nuke ‘em, baby, nuke’ em,’ if our conventional force structure has been destroyed?
Call Holloman AFB,New Mexico at the 49th Fighter Wing public affairs and ask them
why the F-1117 fleet has been retired while we’re fighting two wars. If they tell you the F-22A is replacing them then ask them now that we have 3 wings of these capable but very expensive systems, why haven’t any been deployed to either of our two failed wars? Their phone number is 1-505-572-7383.
Those 9 kids killed in Afghanistan on July 13th were set up for failure
by Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin,
not Bill Clinton, not Barack Obama.
Want more? Examples are all over. Self-serving, know-nothing, Republican
defense snops need to get your heads out of your exhaust pipes, NOW.
Its way past time for a REAL CHANGE. You are dismissed.

I thought tomorrow was Halloween – why is she saying “boo” today?

I THOUGHT JOE THE PLUNGER WAS IN CHARGE OF FOREIGN POLICY, CAUSE HE CAN SEE ALL THE “MADE IN CHINA” PRODUCTS AT HOME DEPOT.
LOL

Now now… calm down everyone. I mean, isnt she qualified? Remember, SHE CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM HER HOUSE!!!

Wow! It’s scary to think that such a lunatic was actually nominated to run for VP, even scarier that she might become commander in chief. OldMc must have had another Alzheimer moment. Go back Sarah, and keep milking your Alaska!
P.S. Don’t forget to return the $100,000 outfits!

In Obama’s own words in 2007 he said he will get rid of all of our nuclear weapons, cut defense spending by billions and cut our loses in Iraq and leave in defeat.
He is only saying, now, what he can to get elected. Once he’s in he will be an appeaser to his friends in Iran (Hezbollah), Palestine(Hamas), and Venezuela. He does not have a grasp of the threat these country’s are to us.
Bend over everybody, we’re about to take it up-the-you-know-what.
Start reading up on the Qaran and go pick out a lovely burka!

Who cares about national security? All we care about is our $…that’s all that’s important.
National security is simple. Throw Israel under the bus and make friends with Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Syria and Iran.
That’s the pragmatic approach…right, Sen. Obama?

Shut up, that is so not an issue. McCain had lawsuits against him about his birth, they were dismissed. Obama has shown his b/c. The Berg lawsuit was dismissed. Obama’s college records aren’t relevent and neither are McCain’s.
But none of those facts are important to you, you are more interested in spreading more of the Internet garbage your friends send to your email.
If you had any interest in facts or truth, you’d find out for yourself rather than spewing garbage that you know nothing about because, like Palin, you are as uneducated as she is and revile any kind of intellectual curiosity. I’m sure those Nigerian scam artists have a field day with you. Had any luck collecting the millions?
I am so sick of the total ignorance on these boards that I have no further use for any of you Fox disciples.
Go home and hide under your rocks, cover your heads and wait until the Rapture comes. In the meantime, I’ll spend my time trying to talk to people with some semblance of intellect and tell them the truth. Something the fear mongers fear more than a nuclear weapon, the truth.

Sixty-five former ambassadors and 300+ retired foreign service professionals say Palin is wrong. They endorse Obama as the one to keep us more secure. These pros have served our country in hot spots all around the globe and know from first-hand experience what kind of presidential leadership we need. Foreign Policy for Obama has their Statement of Support in full. Good judgment is more important than experience. G.W. Bush has 8 years of experience now and continues to lower our standing in the world.

– That’s not the question, the question is does Obama who is running for president know anything about foreign policy. –
Yeah, I guess sitting up in Alaska watching russian planes trumps specalizing in international relations in college, sitting on the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and I’ll skip listing the various sub-committees related to international security.
Funny how the GOP mind works.

this a surprise. An article from ABC news with content and a headline that’s not ridicule of Palin. Seems like the report on media bias has shamed you thugs into behaving civilized at lest for one story.

Wow, that’s a good resume for someone who calls Iran a tiny country who is no threat and says he will dismantle all of our nuclear weapons and who was caught on tape making anti-semitic jokes and talking about the end of Israel while making toasts with Khalidi.

When is Sarah Moosillini going to go on “Meet the Press” and talk about her foreign policy views?
Oh that’s right, NEVER… because she can’t speak in coherent sentences when off script.
What a whack-job… I can’t believe she’s got so many blind followers.

Another lemming in denial. Why do you people follow so blindly? Why can’t you just do your own homework on your candidate?
Yes, it was said, it came straight from the horses mouth,er, donkey’s mouth.
And the Khalidi video? Yes I’m sorry to say, that happened to. The La times, who endorsed Obama, admitted what was on the tape, allowed a reporter to view it, who reported what was said on the tape, but conveniently, La Times can’t release it because they signed a contract stating that they wouldn’t.
Obama could commit murder in front of you hypnotized fools and you still wouldn’t believe it.

the republican handlers who orchestrated bush’s 2000 campaign are the same ones guiding their puppet john “my daddy’s an admiral” mccain and sarah “$150k shopping queen” palin.
if bush hadn’t screwed us all for the next 50 years then the lies the republicans are full of may have worked
but we’re all pissed and tired of the bush and republican garbage
i was an independent and NEVER voted until now
bush and the bee-s from the republican goons got me to the polls to vote for obama
palin is a complete phony with zero cred…and mccain is not liked by vietnam vets who know him

You just proved my point. You cannot defend Obama from the truth so you use insults instead. Real mature and a typical Obama supporter trait.

Sarah Palin is the biggest terrorist. First, she got to be governor due to dirty work done by the Alaska Independence Party. After entering office, she fired qualified people and replace them with her unqualified AIP friends. Sarah Palin is on a mission. Her agenda as VP is to gain power to give AIP exactly what they want. She is the AIP trojan horse. Can’t believe she’s talking about national security when this country needs protection from her.

Obama is running a much better campain,I like his tax cuts,his policies on energy,his health care plan, is the same as Hillary’s, education and he is a very good soeaker, a real good salesman.But im not sold on Obama, himself.20 years in a church, with Michelle and his children , that teaches black liberation theology, hatred, And all his associations with terrorists, Ayers, Wright, Rezco, Farrakhan, Pelosi,and America haters, How he try to explain or cover things up, with the big help of the msm.And if we ask any Questions, we are racist, ignorant, stupid , etc. we should not aks any question, its old story, get beyond it and so on. I dont like the way he won the primaries, the way he treated Hillary, the way he played with the people in Florida,ACORN.Is he realy a christian, or a muslim, why he campained for his terrorist muslim cousin Odinga in Kenya, is he an American citizen, was he born in Kenya? Why should we trust this guy, and vote for him to be the president of the United States of America? Is he some kind of new Messiah, like Hittler was in Germany, everybody loved him to at that time , he was like a savior to the people. This Obama cult is some kind of a sickness, or a plague of the minds of the messes, and was planned and enginered?I have no trust in Obama.

Another misguided Obama supporter. Powell endorsed Obama why? because he’s black!
Powell left Sec of State position in shame. Powell is the main reason we went inot Iraq. I saw his forceful and very misleading case he built against Iraq when he presented his evidence to the UN. He had maps and was very sure that Iraq had nuclear weapons and was pointing them out. He said with or without UN’s help, the US was invading Iraq.
Obama, who was always against Iraq war even when he wasn’t in the US Senate and didnt have a say, is now being hypocritical by praising the very man who got us into Iraq. And Obama wants to put Powell, the one who was a failure as Sec of State, in his administration.

What a typical rude response from a Democrat telling me to shut up! For your information Philip Berg filed another lawsuit at the SCOTUS today. This is not going to go away so easily. Obama needs to show the real birth certificate and not some copy on a website. Of course the lawsuit against McCain was dismissed because he was willing to show any and all documents to the court. So I ask again why is Obama NOT WILLING to do so? It makes him look guilty as hell.
I would love to make some rude remarks right back to you but I will not stoop to your level. I will suggest though that you do your homework and not just listen to MSM reports.

here’s a scary thought, Palin is a heartbeat from being president, but so is Biden.
Obama and Palin are about even in credentials and charisma, but one is running for prez, the other is running for veep.
Tina Fey said she could see Russia from here porch you dolt, Palin actually ran a state and fought corruption, Obama stoked racial unrest and couldn’t do jack to clean up the Chi.
and i agree, Obama could outright commit murder and the MSM and Obamatrons would call it a smear campaign by the Republicans, it’s sick that fear gets used as a weapon, but false hope is many times worse. at the end of the day, we know what we’re getting with McCain, Obama just says what’s popular…

ann – hannity espouses taking responsibility for your actions and future and not relying on the government for handouts, but I guess that’s just ignorant, right?
sheesh, self contradicting arguments all over the dang place

Alaska Says McCain-Palin Too Risky for America!
The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest newspaper, published its presidential endorsement on October 25, 2008, in an article entitled, “Obama for President: Palin’s rise captivates us but nation needs a steady hand.”
Explaining its endorsement of the Democratic presidential candidate, the newspaper first praised Senator Barack Obama because, “he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand,” and then ends with a critique of Alaska’s own Governor Sarah Palin:
“Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. . . . Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.”

yep, I agree.
Michelle could spend 150,000 like Palin, or even one million,
but she’d still look like a gorilla!
hahahahaha!
well maybe if she get’s a head transplant she would get her moneys worth!

Ann,
We read more than just Huffington Post, Daily Kos and do not rely on Obama’s own words. We actually look at reliable, unbiased sources to get the truth about Obama. You have to learn to read between the lines when you watch the MSM and when you hear Obama promise to make a change, look up what he said about the same thing before and you will see that it is a complete flip-flop. Ex. his stance on National security in 2007, you can look up the video on the internet, versus what his position is now. Two radically different ideas. Also look up what he said about abortion to planned parenthood and then what he said about it to a Christian audience. There is also a video of Obama promising security to Israel to the AIPAC, and then he promises Palestine and Hamas leader that Israel will no longer be a problem and he supports their cause.
He is notorious for telling his audience what they want to hear and not what he truly believes.

Ann–McCain didn’t sit at a dinner party with Khalidi toasting to the end of Israel and making anti-semitic jokes.

I’ve caught on that on these blogs where there is constant liberal rhetoric slamming Palin and praising Obama, that when you contradict their assessments they all disappear. The Obama campaign, “Fight the Smears” workers must stop the blogging and infiltrate another just to stop the truth about Obama from coming out.
My friend walked into an Obama campaign office and there were 3 workers typing on blogs just like these using different names.

S. Adams,
Thanks for enlightening me! You have saved me from making a terrible mistake! Now I am definitely going to vote for McCain/Palin! Not!!

Obama and Michelle will be in the White house forever.

isn’t it funny? Obama paints McCain as a Bush surrogate when McCain was so anti-Bush just a couple years ago there were rumors he’d become the Democratic Veep to Kerry, maybe he’s come back to the base a little more than he should have, but he’s still not in with Special Interests, shady business people, or questionable individuals.
if Americans are upset with the financial bailout and the way Bush has run the country, think of it as a precursor to the way the Dems will run unbridled once they get full control (which unfortunately is about to occur thanks to America’s obsession with an easy way out)

– isn’t it funny? Obama paints McCain as a Bush surrogate when McCain was so anti-Bush just a couple years ago there were rumors he’d become the Democratic Veep to Kerry –
He may of opposed Bush in 2000, but has since become a clone. Please explain how McCain differs substantially on any issue from Bush.

We need security from her?

Ok, so we have the Moose Hunter claiming that Obama isn’t up to the task of security and McCain is… and then on the other hand, we have the former supreme commander of NATO saying:
“McCain will not reverse the foreign policy mistakes of George Bush. He is content to leave us in Iraq, saying it’d be ‘fine by me’ if we were in Iraq for another 100 years. He is rash on using military force with Iran. He overplays the military card and doesn’t seem to appreciate that the real strength of the nation lies in our economy and in our values.”
And then pegs Palin dead on (and months ago) when he accuses McCain and fellow Republicans of turning the threat of terrorism into “a rallying cry for military adventurism.”
And as for Obama, he says:
“I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on securing the nomination. His historic campaign has touched lives and his message has moved people in every corner of America. I believe he is not only ready for the challenge but will be a great President.”
I think I’ll take his word over Palins, whos view of national security revolves around watching Russian planes fly close to Alaskan air space.

Joe the plummer is as an unlicensed, tax avoiding leach. Although there are probably a few educatated & sane supporters mixed in there, why does the McCain campain bring out hate & have support of all of the weirdos – like messy hair lady, the girl who falsely claimed to be attacked and the crazy two Tennessee boys. . .as well as tonges’ speaking Palin. . .get real people and take some responsibility for the degeneration this country is facing!! The rest of the world is laughing at us for our prior choices, and is behind Obama. Check out BBC news.

Obama fundraiser, convicted of fraud, spills beans
The Associated Press
By MIKE ROBINSON – Oct 11, 2008
CHICAGO (AP) — Jailed political fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive.
Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable.
Rezko also was friendly with Obama — offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko’s trial, there’s no indication there’ll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee — even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.
“I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the Statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign,” says state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Westmont, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama.
Rezko, 53, a real estate developer, was convicted in June of scheming to use his clout with the Blagojevich administration to squeeze $7 million in kickbacks out of a contractor and seven money management firms seeking to do business with the state.
Within two months, Rezko was seen in U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s office, along with his attorneys.
There has been no official confirmation that Rezko is talking but his sentencing has been postponed indefinitely and both sides say they are going to “engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures.”
“They never would have delayed the sentencing if he weren’t talking — it’s proof positive,” said Jay Stewart, executive director of the Better Government Association of Chicago.
In addition, attorneys say federal investigators have been questioning Blagojevich contributions around the state using information that only Rezko could have supplied. Finally, courthouse personnel requesting anonymity because grand jury probes are secret said Rezko has been repeatedly brought from his cell to the U.S. attorney’s office to talk to prosecutors.
Rezko could have a lot to tell. He has raised millions of dollars in campaign money for many Illinois politicians and according to federal prosecutors used his clout to control appointments to state boards.
Obama has sent to charity $159,000 that Rezko raised for his campaigns for the state legislature, the House and the Senate. Rezko raised nothing for Obama’s White House run.
Obama’s name came up in testimony at the trial four times, twice in connection with an obscure legislative memo, as a guest at a Rezko party and when defense attorney Joseph Duffy told jurors his client was a friend of the senator.
None of the witnesses accused the Democratic nominee for president of doing anything improper.
But questions concerning Obama’s relationship with Rezko linger, particularly over Rezko’s role in the purchase of the Obamas’ home.
The two have known each other for years, starting when Rezko offered Obama a job after he graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991. Obama didn’t take it, but a friendship developed.
The men talked politics frequently and occasionally dined together with their wives.
In 2005, the Obamas paid $1.65 million for their home near the University of Chicago. The sellers wanted a parcel they owned next door to sell on the same day, and Rezko’s wife, Rita, was the buyer. At the request of the Obamas, Mrs. Rezko later sold them a 10-foot strip of land to enlarge their lot. They paid $104,500.
The deal took place while Rezko was under investigation and when details of the cozy relationship surfaced, Obama said it was a “bonehead” error to have asked for the additional land because it looked like he was getting a favor.
“I regret it,” Obama said at the time. “I’m going to make sure that from this point on I don’t even come close to the line.”
McCain and vice running mate Sarah Palin have mentioned Rezko little if at all. But Republicans have aired a television ad focusing on Rezko. And McCain aides have repeatedly tweaked their opponent over the real estate deal in e-mails to reporters.
“We’re delighted to have a debate on judgment with Barack Obama, who bought his million-dollar mansion in a shady deal with a convicted felon,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said in August.
Blagojevich, meanwhile, got a black eye from the trial.
One witness testified that Blagojevich talked about hiring him for a major state job while his $25,000 donation to the governor’s campaign fund was lying on the table.
Two attorneys testified that Blagojevich hinted that they could get lucrative state contracts if they raised money — possibly for a future White House campaign.
Obama’s name has not surfaced in accounts of the investigation since the trial. But Rezko himself raised it in a letter to the judge months ago.
“Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened,” he wrote. “They are pressuring me to tell them the wrong things that I supposedly know about Gov. Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama.”

Obama may have received an excellent education – thanks to this great country that gave him the opportunity. Unfortunately he forgot his brains at Harvard.
If elected, that Marxist/Radical one, will be responsible for the destruction of our country. And, those who voted for him will be equally responsible and accountable to the rest of the morally sound American people.

Obama received his education thanks to his own strong personal drive, dedication, and initiative. He was from mixed race, raised by a single mother and abscent father, and support by his grandparents who stepped in.
He wasn’t given a free ride, nor fed from a silver spoon, and had many obsticles to overcome.
Unlike McCain born into military glory. .never really had to work for it, and abondoned his prior family – a wife & children who patiently waited for him while he was a POW – dumped them no time flat for Cindy, the hieriess, whom he met in Hawaii, 20 years his junior – when his wife became disabled from a car accident – and he dumped her & his children in no time flat.

OBAMA & THE ARABS – WHY MUSLIMS SEE HIM AS ONE OF THEM
NEW YORK POST
October 28, 2008
‘OBAMA! Inshallah!” – Obama! Allah willing! That slogan, scribbled on walls in Gaza, indicates the hopes that Barack Obama has inspired among Arabs.
While Obama has tried to push his origins into the background, his “Islamic roots” have won him a place in many Arabs’ hearts.
One columnist, Mohamed Al-Menshawi, hails Obama as “the candidate with Muslim roots” and as the “harbinger of solidarity between Americans and the Muslim world.”
Another, Al-Jazeera’s Aala al-Bayoumi, notes: “Had it not been for Obama, Arabs would not even bother to follow the US presidential race.” What makes the difference is Obama’s “Islamic and African roots.”
Marwan Bishara hails Obama’s “radical politics”: “For the US to vote in an African-American progressive liberal would certainly mark a departure from the hyper and violent conservatism of the Bush-McCain camp,” he writes. An Obama presidency “would be better for both the US and the Arab world.”
Obama especially appeals to pan-Arab nationalists angry at the United States for having ousted Saddam Hussein. Obama’s promise to leave Iraq gives pan-Arabs their only chance (albeit slim) to destroy the new Iraqi democracy.
While radical Arabs, including the Hamas leadership, favor Obama, most Arab officials are wary of him. They fear his inexperience and leftist connections might destroy all that has been gained in Iraq, provoke a bigger mess in Afghanistan, trigger a war with Pakistan and open the way for Khomeinist hegemony in the region.
Note that Obama wouldn’t be the first politician with Muslim roots to lead a major non-Muslim country. Carlos Menem, a Muslim of Syrian descent, served as Argentina’s president from 1989 to 1999. But he dropped his Arab-Islamic first name and adopted his baptismal Christian name before entering politics.
Obama, by contrast, has retained his Arabic-Islamic names. (Barack means “blessed” and Hussein means “beautiful.”) His family name is Swahili, an East African lingua franca based on Arabic. Arab commentators note that his siblings also all have Arabic Muslim names. His sister is called Oumah, Arabic for “the community of the faithful his older daughter, Malia, bears the name of a daughter of the Caliph Othman, who commissioned the compilation of the first edition of the Koran. That Obama’s stepfather was also a Muslim (from Indonesia) strengthens the empathy that many Arabs feel for him.
The Syrian regime has also indicated its preference for Obama, not least because President Bush forced it to end its 29-year military occupation of Lebanon. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has welcomed Obama’s call for radical change in US policy. She writes, “The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the US but for the entire human family.”
Also enthusiastic for Obama is the Lebanese Hezbollah. The party’s No. 2, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, went as far as inviting Americans to vote Obama as a step toward peace with Islam. (The party disowned his comments as “personal opinion.”) Pro- Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb has no doubt that Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency because “African-Americans are more sympathetic to Arabs because they, too, are oppressed.”
Hussein Shobokshi, a liberal Saudi commentator, predicts that “Obama’s ascent to power in America would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena.” He envisages a new system in America in which “nongovernmental institutions will participate in the political decision-making process in an effective manner,” while “capitalism will undergo fundamental adjustment.”
Another liberal writer, Diana Makkled, sees Obama’s success as a sign that America is still the place where dreams are realized. That a man with a Muslim-African background might become president “could only take place in the US, not in the banana republics we live in,” she writes.
Arabs welcomed and widely commented on Colin Powell’s assertion that, even if Obama were a Muslim, it should not be held against him.
Some columnists have also noted Obama’s close ties to a number of Palestinian radicals, including Rashid Khalidi and the late Edward Said, as signs that the senator would change US Middle East policy in the Arabs’ favor. Strengthening that impression was an interview the Rev. Jessie Jackson granted to several Arab media outlets, including Al-Jazeera and the popular Internet newspaper Elaph, in which he promised an end to the United States’ allegedly pro-Israel policy.
Not all Arab commentators are struck by Obamania, however. His flip-flops on issues – including the future of Jerusalem, withdrawal from Iraq and dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat – have prompted some to counsel caution.
Tareq Al-Houmayed, editor of the daily Asharq Alawsat, warns Arabs not to expect too much: “Every American president would be governed by American interests. Obama’s understanding of politics is not important here.”
Abdulrahman al-Rashed, a Saudi commentator, also notes that no president can radically alter US global policies. He advises Arabs to neither have exaggerated hopes nor be dispirited when Obama tells the Israelis “more than they hoped to hear” to win Jewish support.
Amir Taheri’s latest book, “The Persian Night: Iran Under the Khomeinist Revolution,” is due out next month.

It is what it is: Obama allied with scoundrels

I have a great job in Commercial Real Estate investment & capital sales, Natasha, worldwide and make big bucks (and glady pay quarterly taxes, unlike JTP), and contribute to environmental and animal activism issues on a monthly basis.
Although I am flattered from the attention(are you a lesbian or what!), you are avoiding the real issues of this country by focusing on me and relaying your mindless chatter.

I see…Commercial Real Estate investment & capital sales!. Is your compamy participating in the…”emergency bailout”?? (Haha!)
Don’t be so flattered BOZO! You must have an overinflated ego – a psycho (like Obama’s) to think of my replies as “attention”. I am replying to you because of your idiotic comments to me.
Oh btw, my boyfriend happens to be a lawyer:

I will be so glad when Sarah Palin and all the non-sense she spews becomes yesterday’s news. Come on election day, come on!
Obama/Biden 08!

yep, I agree.
Michelle could spend 150,000 like Palin, or even one million,
but she’d still look like a gorilla!
hahahahaha!
well maybe if she get’s a head transplant she would get her moneys worth!

If you want all of these programs Than raise eveyones taxes 2% we are afterall working for the greater good of the nation are we not.The goverment is the worst run charity organzation going thats where the problem lies.

“And in this time for choosing, the question is which man will protect us from Osama bin Laden, from Al Qaeda”
Robert Baer says bin Laden has been dead for years, and he should know. Booga-Booga.
“slamming comments made recently by Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, in which he called for a 25 percent cut in the defense budget.”
Do you know what the “defense” budget is for 2009? Do you know how much it has risen since 2001? How will you pay for this monstrous gift to the Pentagon (more than the rest of the world military budgets combined), the neverending “War on Terror”, the “bailout” and domestic programs?
“Let’s not retreat from wars that are almost won”
Don’t worry, Governor. The “wars” are in safe hands.

I’m just curious if it’s common practice for both the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to submit their health records prior to an election why more attention isn’t being placed on why Sarah Palin hasn’t produced her records?

I am sorry where is Baracks record????

I have no problem with McCains Tax credit for healthcare I think that is fine I have a problem with Obamas give me your money and I will do what I see fit with it.You still have a choice of where to get your coverage and yes I know you can still keep your current insurance,If you dont have you will be able to buy into the goverment pooled insurance so those are you only two choices
Posted by: reddog0216 | Oct 31, 2008 8:16:54 AM
So how many ‘options’ do you get under McCain? You can take your employer provided insurance ant take a tax hit, or you can get your own and pay for it with that fixed credit. And you consider that better choices?

How do you figure you take a tax hit???
Posted by: reddog0216 | Oct 31, 2008 9:58:13 AM
McCain will tax employer provided health insurance, so I get a tax hit. I’m not being taxed on that right now.
You only get that $5000 (or $2500 if single) tax credit if you drop your employer provided insurance and get your own private insurance.

What’s going to protect the country? Some trailer trash in a designer dress shooting wolves from a helicopter?

I hear she is a good shot

If they had started with and stayed with this message — calling Obama “admirable”, “promising” and “not quite ready” — they might have had an outside chance of pulling this one out of the crapper. It’s still an attack, in a sense, but it’s a high-road attack… praise the other guy, but make sure to point out how your guy is better. That’s something that would resonate with undecideds who are trying to evaluate both candidates.
It’s far too late, of course. Having followed the muddy rove… errr, road… for this long, a last minute scramble for the high ground just looks pathetic.
But if moderate Republicans are very sharp and play their cards right, they could take this opportunity to shed the fanatics and field a competitive slate next time around. And make no mistake… there are moderates in the Republican party who are very sharp indeed.

Tell this found guilty of abuse of power as Governor to go home!!! Sarah Palin does no know or understand the issues!!! She also does not demonstrate honor for all Americans. She only entices rage, hate, and racial prejudice!!! What she is saying – go ahead and hurt some one, harm other people, riot, physically harm the other candidate!!

Watch Farrakhans rally for Obama.
It is SCARY.
And you would want Obama for President.
Run from this guy.

palins focus on security
WHAT DID SHE DO GET A NEW MOOSE GUN-AND IS SHE BACK ON THE PORCH WATCING RUSSIA–AS SHE CAN SEE THEM FROM THERE

MCCAIN SAYS HE ALWAYS HAS HAD FAITH IN AMERICA——BIG CHANGE FROM SPOUTING PROPAGANDA WHEN A POW—–THIS GUY LIES ABOUT ANYTHING—–I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE HE PICKED SOMEONE LIKE PALIN.BUT THEN AGAIN –ANOTHER LIER.

I am totally surprise that people will chose to insult Palin. If you disagreed with her idea that doesnot means that she should be insulted. The election is not over yet, let us disagreed to agree and stop insulting in our comments. Let us be moderate and present our ideas and though on critical issues. who soever win, let hope for the better and not the ugly. If Obama or McCain loses the Election if will not be the end of the world for either of them either sarah Palin or Joe Biden.

Perhaps any future National Security briefings for Palin will include MonthyPython films with ridiculous French accents. “I fart in your general direction.”
