One President at a Time?

When it is convenient he says one president at a time. What about Gaza?

Most of the press lets him get away with it. He should be pressed on all issues that concern the American people.

“What about Gaza?”
Gaza is a tough one for him to come down on. On one hand, the Palestinians are “Hoping” for a better future, and on the other, the Israelis want to “Change” the fact that they are getting hit by missiles. His usual compass is spinning!
So let the guy eat his waffles, there is only one President at a time.

“When it is convenient he says one president at a time. What about Gaza?”
Good question. Will the silence be maintained for another 15 days or so?

Okay- it suddenly looks like the GOP is putting the squeeze on the earlier TARP bailout. Better late than never, I guess.

because even though most of us would like to forget, and hate to say it. and William F. Buckley is spinning in his grave everytime someone says it:
George W. Bush is still the president.
If obama were to say anything other than what he is saying, the press and the repubs would jump all over it.
better he continue to say “one president at a time and take some heat from people, who really want bush to be gone, than to say something, and be all wrong about it.
bush is so quiet, maybe he is sitting back and playing “chicken”

george bush to the usa and the mess he has created “so what?”
bush was and still is a blank.
i wish obama COULD step up to the plate right now.
someone needs to be minding the country’
business. bush sure is not.

GWB is still President till Jan 20th.
The reason Obama is not saying anything is because his position will contradict the Bush Admin and it will not look good for America.
Obama intends to deal with the Middle East in an even-handed way like Bill Clinton did.
Let’s wait till Jan 20th and fry him if he doesn’t deliver.
For now fry George Bush. He is still the President.

you dont pay attention. [..] What we are wondering is if anyone has told Obama what his opinion is supposed to be. Kind of like when tanks were rolling in Georgia and Obama didnt know what to say.

Ever heard the expression “walk softly and carry a big stick”? I think you’re the one not paying attention. Look at meek Israel against the bully instigator Hammas. Back down before you get smacked down is another of my favorites. On this I agree with Obama AND Bush and Clinton and Rice and so on and so on and so on.

PRESENT!!

Interesting watching all these anti-Obama propagandists trying to scratch up some dirt on Obama . … and coming up with so very little.
Propagandists.
And are you really stupid enough to think that just saying the name Blago somehow incriminates Obama? Sorry folks, it takes more than that regardless of your weak understanding of justice.

pefros..
i for one am not trying to “scratch up some dirt on obama”. as much as i dont like his ideas, he is MY president too. but cmon, you have to admit, the democrats are REALLY starting to look like complete fools here.. lol i mean, obama hasnt even taken the oath of office yet and there is scandal after scandal. even james carville is predicting more of this throughout the next year. its disappointing, seeing that all those on the left have been talking about the last eight years has been ” you just wait till we get back in there, we’ll show em’”..lol now for the last two plus years, they have completely blown their role in congress and obamas election is obviously bringing out the worst in them. i cant stand it.. i dont know whether to laugh or cry.

“Maybe she’s taking calls between shopping for shoes, like she did during Katrina. ”
I know that now the government is supposed to be responsible for holding back weather patterns, but you are under the impression that the Secretary of State is involved in that?

Come on, you bitter losers. President elect Obama is not embroiled in any scandal or any controversy.
He never did get along with Gov. Blagojevich and kept him at a distance. Congressman Rush, who insists that the Illinois Senate Seat must be an African American Seat has always had disdain for Obama because Obama had the audacity to run against Rush for his Congressional Seat.
Rush won the contest but never forgave the young “upstart” for daring to challenge him. Rush did not support Obama in the Democratic Primary when he ran for the U.S. Senate.
As far as Richardson, he had the grace and decency to withdraw his nomination for Commerce Secretary, unlike the lunatic governor of Illinois.
Obama had the brains and fortitude to rise above the corruption in Illinois politics. In addition, there are some decent public servants, both Democrat and moderate Republican, in Illinois. Don’t smear mud on all of them.

and the Secretary of State’s job should have been what?

Where is Obama’s support for Israel in their conflict with Hamas? No wonder the Israelis went into Gaza BEFORE Obama takes office!!

Sadly, Obama’s efforts to control the news cycle this week, as he rightly should, are drowned out by the petty politics of denying Burris his seat in the Senate.
I fear that this is just the first sign that the Democrats will lack the discipline and integrity to govern effectively. Though we love their heart, we rightly hate their ineptitude.
Reid and other IL politicos obviously want the power to give that prized seat away; no other reason could justify the refusal to seat the untainted Burris.
An IL court will force IL SOS to endorse Blago appointment (he does not have a veto power, his is a ministerial act, w/o discretion); then, Burris will be quietly seated. All of this distracting press could have been avoided. I expected Rahm to be an enforcer type that would predict and easily avoid an obvious trap like this; that he has failed to do so bodes ill.

Obama made a campaign promise to AIPAC that Israel is “sacrosanct”, and was conveniently bubbled up in Hawaii when the IDF assault on Gaza began.
His remarks in Israel six months ago (see December archives for Political Punchr) signalled support for Israel’s current activities in Gaza:
OBAMA: “The first job of any nation state is to protect its citizens. And so I can assure you that if — I don’t even care if I was a politician — if somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I’m going to do EVERYTHING IN MY POWER [emphasis added] to stop that. And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.”
Obama’s weeks-long silence on Gaza, more than ANYthing else, has given the IDF carte blanche to shoot fish in a barrel, and wantonly lay waste to the area (including, now, white phosphorus shells and cluster bombs).

“Before PEBO takes office?
Hummmmm?”
WILL He take office, or — now that He’s outed as a player in what WAS “the Richardon scandal” — end up in the hoosegow with Mr. Rezko, instead … ?
That’s what the hijacked Democrats get for pretending ANY of them is morally superior to Governor Blago.
Has Rahm Emanuel re-materialized from Kenya?

Many of us think that we haven’t even had a real president for the last 8 years. It’s about time that we’ll have one.

“obama hasnt even taken the oath of office yet and there is scandal after scandal”
Sorry, just stating something does not make it true. What scandal exactly have you scratched up that in any way incriminates Obama?
“Scandal after scandal” that incriminate Obama? Again, propaganda and spin that has nothing to do with reality.

“Scandal after scandal” that incriminate Obama?
BEGINNING with, conservatively speaking, Bobby Rush and Alice Palmer (the latter after The CHANGEling joined the stable of media-hustler Axelrod, who cloned attractive mobbed-up “candidates” everywhere).
The appearance of PUBLIC information linking Obama to what He presented as the “Richardson” scandal suggests that the “press” wind — and the Justice Department wind — has turned against the “Obama” organization and its associates.
Encouraging the romp in Gaza mightta done the trick. Or the good ole Jesse Jacksons, God bless ‘em. But SOMEthing has.

I always find it interesting to see all the right wingers complain about Obama not saying anything or making a comment on an issue that he has no control over, he has not yet taken the oath of office and is trying to allow Bush to do his job (such as it is)until the day he is inaugurated. I feel this is his way of being respectful and trying to show some decorum for us around the world. Would you have him act like a spoiled child who cannot wait his turn? he is the next President of these United States and he has accepted the terms of this agreement,it begins 1-20-09. I find this to be a refreshing return to manners and in right in line with his measured and thoughtful ways so far. GW needs to take the heat for all this as he is the one and his cabinet have helped him make this country at war in several places,broke,unable to hold our heads up as a moral nation in regards to torture, illegal wiretapping, catering to the filthy rich while they cheat and lie us into a depression,no health care for millions of our own citizens and oh how I could go on. Obama should take every minute he can to go on vacation, rest, visit with his family and friends and recharge from that long campaign. He is in for a lot of hard work and he lost his grandmother toward the end of that campaign. He and his family deserve all the rest and quiet they can get.
