And why do you assume you are correct, that is rather egocentric thinking, isn’t it?

Its’ a bit more complex.

For instance, all this talk about Israel, sometimes I get the impression the Israeli neocons really think they’re a superpower, on par with the US.

They’re not.

And it’s reflected in the failure of their decisions, their military efforts.

All the propaganda in the world can’t stop reality.

Okay, have the messiah-worshippers got the message yet? Bobo appears to be a nuts-and-bolts politician. He apparently used the likes of Rev. Wright and Ayers to get ahead in Chicago, and now he’s going to use D.C. insiders to do the job there. He’s made use of Bill and Hillary since he got the nomination. How dumb could a Dem be NOT to do so? He needs to unite the Dems first. Just look at the reactions of the Repubs to his possible pick of Hillary! If they thought it was good for them, they’d be all for it! Yet, they, along with all diehard Clintonphobes, are sputtering with outrage, coming up with silly objections that a first-grader would be embarrassed to use!
Karl Rove thinks Hillary has it. Whoopee!

True, the Clinton years were somewhat better than the Bush years – though different set of factors and circumstances to handle.

Clinton did well with balancing the budget, kept us out of war with more diplomacy. You have to give credit that Bush has kept us safe since 9/11.

The current economic crisis has been brewing for a long time due to greed, mismanagement and instant gratification – though I think the Bush administration and Democrat Majority Congress have been asleep.

As for Bambi choosing former Clinton personnel- well he can. It would have been interesting to see more independent choices. Though regardless of who he gets, I still do not like him. – But he can freely choose who he wants.It is a free country, right? For the time being ?

I have a rough time with the brilliant part too. BOBO barely squeaked a victory over Hillary and was running in a dead heat with McCain up until the economy collapsed.

every politician is a once in a lifetime politician, type of politician, whatever you want to all it. It Ok, we understand. It’s just nothing special.

What makes him special is the way he’s able to communicate with people and get things done. There’s a certain magic he has.

Wow-you’re really deluded. Obama is condescending and patronizing, and his ridiculous preacher-like speech cadence and flowery rhetoric turns my stomach every time I hear him. If he has any magic to him, it’s Black Magic.

A brilliant campaign — well if you had a
$1 billion war chest and the press kissing your feet every day for a year, while crapping on the other candidates, and you were coming out of 8 years of Bush — gee — I’ll bet we could even get you elected President (if you’re over 35, that is).

Brilliant? Outspending the competition from 3:1 to 8:1??

The press fawning over you….

Brilliant?? Oh, please.

You guys really have to start admitting you were wrong about Barack Obama. This is a once in a lifetime type of politician. We should all be very proud to have a person of his caliber as our President over the next 8 years.

I just lost my dinner. And I won’t admit to any such thing, except Obama is a “once-in-a-lifetime President” in that he’s a Chicago thug, borderline criminal terrorist who’s unqualified and unfit to hold the office. Fortunately I haven’t seen that in my lifetime until now.

all of those folk number in the millions. which would mean “most” of those folks also number in the millions. Which leaves any path connecting you to the thought’s of most BOBO supporters, leading directly back to your ass

Obama had nothing to do with passing telecom immunity, that bill was passing with or without him.

I personally think that how one runs their campaign says a lot about what kind of President they will be. You can ignore that evidence if you wish – but regardless your claims will be pretty hollow after Obama finishes 8 years as an extremely successful President.

Yes, I wonder how his firm supporters are reacting to the fact that all these Clinton administration picks make very clear that his ENTIRE campaign narrative was a lie.

Are they still defending him — or are they raging? Any buyer’s remorse at all? I am not being snarky here. Just curious.

I’d love someone’s perspective on this as I refuse to go anywhere near HuffPo or DailyKos since they have been so hateful.

I said once in a lifetime “type of politician.” What’s special about Obama is not that he’s super liberal, he’s not really. Nowhere near as liberal as I’d like him to be in my perfect world. What makes him special is the way he’s able to communicate with people and get things done. There’s a certain magic he has. And whether you like it or not, that’s a big part of being a successful politician.

so other than pass telecom immunity and get elected…LOL you got nothin.
