		<description>&lt;em&gt;More recently, Obama as he traveled through Florida seemed to give some contradictory statements about Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and the Colombian terrorist group FARC.

On Thursday Obama told the Orlando Sentinel that he would meet with Chavez and "one of the obvious high priorities in my talks with President Hugo Chavez would be the fermentation of anti-American sentiment in Latin America, his support of FARC in Colombia and other issues he would want to talk about."

OK, so a strong declaration that Chavez is supporting FARC, which Obama intends to push him on.

But then on Friday he said any government supporting FARC should be isolated.

"We will shine a light on any support for the FARC that comes from neighboring governments," he said in a speech in Miami.  "This behavior must be exposed to international condemnation, regional isolation, and - if need be - strong sanctions. It must not stand."

So he will meet with the leader of a country he simultaneously says should be isolated? Huh?

On Friday in an interview with the Miami Herald, Obama also used language suggesting that he's not as positive that Venezuela is supporting FARC.

"When I asked him what he would do about the estimated 37,000 Interpol-certified Colombian FARC guerrilla computer files that indicate an active support from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa to the Colombian rebels, Obama went farther than the Bush administration," wrote the Herald's Andres Oppenheimer.

Said Obama: "I think the Organization of American States and the international community should launch an immediate investigation into this situation. We have to hold Venezuela accountable if, in fact, it is trying to ferment terrorist activities in other borders. If Venezuela has violated those rules, we should mobilize all the countries to sanction Venezuela and let them know that that's not acceptable behavior."

"If" Venezuela "is trying to ferment terrorist activities in other borders"? Just one day before Obama had asserted that Chavez was supporting FARC in Colombia.

I've asked the Obama campaign for a clarification and will get back to you as to what they say.

- jpt

UPDATE: The Obama campaign says there's nothing unusual about proposing the isolation of a country at the same time a President talks about meeting with its country's leader. (The Obama campaign cites how the U.S. is talking to North Korea via the Six-Party talks as an example. Though it might be observed, those diplomatic efforts are quite different than a presidential-level meeting.) 

As for the statement, and then the very qualified "if" statement about Chavez and FARC, the Obama campaign says Obama is laying out his principles. The U.S. government says all the time, "If Iran continues its nuclear program," the Obama campaign says. I don't know. Saying, "if in fact" Venezuela is aiding FARC seemed to me at least to be different than saying "if Chavez continues aiding FARC." What do you think?

UPDATE 2: So, I just spoke to an Obama campaign foreign policy adviser and this is how he explains any confusion.

Obama, he says, believes that Chavez is supportive of the FARC, both ideologically and tangibly. The Obama campaign disagrees that Obama's language -- "if, in fact, it (Chavez) is trying to ferment terrorist activities in other borders" -- is hedging language at all. Obama has been very clear that he believes that Chavez is supportive of the FARC, the adviser says.

As to the question of whether one can pledge to isolate a country while also proposing a presidential-level meeting, the adviser says that I was inaccurate in characterizing Obama as proposing such a meeting -- the reality was that Obama was merely acknowledging a willingness to meet.

But "if we are going to isolate the Venezuelans, it may be that we have to engage in a full-on diplomatic strategy with them," the adviser says. Obama was not saying he, himself, would propose such a meeting, nor that he would necessarily participate in that meeting. When Obama referred to "my talks with President Hugo Chavez," he did not mean "my talks," literally (necessarily) -- he meant his administration's talks -- "though it could be him engaging in this diplomacy directly and personally," the adviser says. The point is, all the tools need to be in the diplomacy kit -- isolation, willingness to hold presidential meetings, and everything in between.

Got it?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I don't think it could be stated any clearer than this.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. 

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'."  Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.  The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'."

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb asses put him up there!."'</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;"President’s Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships"

Following the tour, Obama will offer remarks on what he will do as President to build a real partnership between faith-based organizations and the White House. ...

Barack Obama will work with the hundreds of religious and community groups that understand the process to train the thousands of groups that don’t. The Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships will “train the trainers” by giving larger faith-based partners like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Services—and secular nonprofits like Public/Private Ventures—the support they need to help other groups build and run effective programs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In other words, rather than address Bush's turning the Justice Department into a political branch, Obama is going to create a government bureaucracy for the promotion of proper religious charity organizing, just to be helpful. Not. Nothing like a REAL partnership between the White House, aka, the State, and faith-based organizations, aka churches.

And I'm sure having them be "neighborhood partnerships" will be as helpful in accountability as all those $199 campaign contributions.</description>

		<description>I didn't realize that "blank slate" reference was actually from Obama himself. I have seen and read Shelby Steele's excellent analysis of Obama, and how he has deliberately remained a blank slate for people's projections so he can appeal to everyone by not committing to anything. He is a "bargainer" according to Steele--not appearing too black or too white, too conservative or too liberal. This way, he can "succeed" by not alienating any base, but as a result, stands for nothing.

But to see that he is actually PROUD of that strategy is even more disturbing. Who the hell IS this guy?!</description>

<p>But to see that he is actually PROUD of that strategy is even more disturbing. Who the hell IS this guy?!</p>

		<description>"For Republican John McCain, multiple trips to Iraq, a recent visit to Canada, and a swing through Latin America that begins Tuesday showcase an already strong international profile from his Navy years, followed by more than two decades on the Senate Armed Services Committee. A meeting (and photo op) in Washington last Saturday with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani shows that Senator McCain doesn’t even need to leave the country to burnish his foreign-policy credentials.

For Democrat Barack Obama, a multinational tour of Europe and the Middle East scheduled for mid-July aims to add some heft to the Illinois senator’s light foreign-policy résume."

So let me get this straight: This past weekend Wes Clarke also questioned McCain's foreign policy experience, but heralded Obama's "character and judgment" as qualifications. So, facing 5 years in a Hanoi prison with courage and honor does not speak to McCain's character and strength? And two decades on the Armed Services Committee and a lifelong relationship with the military (both father and grandfather were Admirals, plus extensive travel as a US representative does not prepare him to be Commander in Chief?

But a few years living in Indonesia as a child, and a trip to the Middle East and Europe in July qualifies Obama?! And I won't even BOTHER debating his "superior" judgment...

Someone, please tell me what planet I'm on. How does this even pass for rational debate???????</description>

		<description>"The astronauts arrived aboard the USS Hornet in July 1969. Obama claims he moved to Indonesia at the age of 6 and returned to live with his grandparents in 1971. Unless Obama was spending summers with his grandparents there is no way he could have seen the USS Hornet arrive in Hawaii"

He didn't say what mission, or when. Maybe he was home on vacation in 1969. Or perhaps, it was one of these missions: 
Apollo 14: Splashdown February 1971 near American Samoa. The module was brought to Hawaii by the USS New Orleans -- the astronauts did not come with it, but a young boy might not have known the difference amid the excitement. 
Apollo 15: Crew was flown immediately from USS Okinawa to Hickham Air Force Base, Hawaii. August 1971.
Apollo 16: Crew was picked up by USS Ticonderoga and flown to Hickham Air Force Base, Hawaii. April 1972.</description>
