Obama’s Nat. Sec. Working Group

Warren Christopher, the man who handicapped the Gore campaign over the recount in Florida back in 2000. Great.

Tell Boren and Obama to keep their hands to themselves

Boren has a reputation similar to that of Sen. Larry Craig and NJ Governor James McGreevey

A distraction for the half dozen or so people who may learn about the Larry Sinclair press conference today from the puppet MSM.

I wish Madeleine Albright weren’t on his list since I have so much respect for her – but I’m sure she thinks Baby Bama will need all the help he can possibly get on Natl. Security.

My favorite quote of hers – “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help women”…

thought that should go for (specific) men too.

The “war by humanitarian intervention” group. Certainly a smarter way to expand and run an empire, but after the Bush fiasco I don’t thing the rest of the world will be deceived by it.

Is Obama sure about this – I think Warren Christopher died a few years ago.

Rep. Lee Hamilton, there’s a profile in courage.

Incompetent and ugly:
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

From the Senate? Has to be mentally deficient:
Senator David Boren, former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

And they say McCain is old?
Secretary of State Warren Christopher

I remember watching this guy throughout the Lewinksy scandal.. I’m sure he’s slime:
Greg Craig, former director of the State Department Office of Policy Planning

Winnie the Fucking Poo:
Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig

This genius headed the 9/11 Commission and never thought to check our intellegence on Iran until the report was on the verge of being published:
Representative Lee Hamilton, former Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee

Hold’er? Pass’er:
Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder

National Sec Adivsor of Bill Clinton.. yeah that worked well:
Dr. Tony Lake, former National Security Advisor

I have nothing bad to say about him:
Senator Sam Nunn, former Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

If at first you dont succcedd try try again:
Secretary of Defense William Perry

Total and complete nitwit, and very rude:
Dr. Susan Rice, former Assistant Secretary of State

He’s “moderate”.. if he wants to work with these Marxists, let him:
Representative Tim Roemer, 9/11 Commissioner

Deputy National Security Advisor of Clinton.. Oh now’s his chance to excede Tony Lake
Jim Steinberg, former Deputy National Security Advisor

This is a wise and experienced group.
If — if Obama is elected the steady hand these
folks provide should help him get his agenda
off to a good start.

Now, lets see some economic/energy names…

OK…if Obama promises makes George W Bush Ambassador to Iraq THEN I might vote for him! And while Obama is at it he can send Rove, Cheney, Gonzales, Ashcroft, Karen Hughes, Condi Rice, and Rummy to help Bush with his “hard work”!

I can imagine if Obama becomes the next illegitimately nominated President, then the public would want no less than a foreign policy team that together represents at least 300 years of experience.

BO will be crowing all about experience at that point – who needs change?

Still not voting for OBAMA

What a lot of posturing. Have we voted yet? Does anyone remember a primary like this one when a candidate just takes over? Can anyone say Coup?

NOBAMA

You’re right, ma’am. Obama shouldn’t presume to make any kind of preparations for the fall campaign until after the convention in August. The Democratic nomination is up in the air, after all. Hillary could still pull it out!

I’m not impressed. Everybody knows Obama does not have a clue on any issues so I expect him to come up with a group for everything. Obama is so dumb he will need a panel to locate a church for him to attend.

Somebody give baby Obama a bottle and burp him.

“Total and complete nitwit, and very rude:
Dr. Susan Rice, former Assistant Secretary of State”

Agreed.

Am I supposed to be impressed with that line up? Nothing sticks to him, like his toys can be thrown away anytime under the bus. It didn’t change my mind, I’ll still vote for McCain.

What happened to Pooh Bear? Was he listed?

I believe President McCain will have his own people — so this snObama fantasy is basically meaningless.

Where is the hope and change — same old , same old people.

As we know snObama will flip flop — what he says today will be different from what he ways next week.

But damned the SOB really does believe he has been crowned. Has anyone told the dumb ass that there are NO caucuses in the General Election?

lol, under

CHANGE ??

Carter & Clinton retreads ??

TODAY’S WISE-ASS PREDICTION:

Buyer’s remorse will soon follow the Obama nomination.

Buyer’s remorse will soon follow the Obama nomination.

Need more names. Have to protect the country from all of Obama’s friends.

Excuse me, but could you please explain to me why you think Madeleine Albright is incompetent? And could you please stop referring to her appearance as though whether or not you find a woman attractive has anything at all to do with whether or not she is competent? I’ve had enough with the misogyny already this year.

Christopher (82) is there to provide cover as the Obama campaign shifts its attack mode from sexist to ageist. “See, we like old people.”

Susan “don’t accept Osama” Rice? 3000 dead people and their families would like to talk to her.

It is so Obama to form committees and groups. Next thing we will learn is that he has a special group that picks his ties and ties his shoes.

Gumdart:

For two very specific and degrading reasons. (BTW: I think C. Rice is imcompetent too, just so you know my opinion is even-handed)

1 – The Post – Camp David Israel-Palestinian Peace Talks in Paris

Madeleine Albright had been holed up with Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak for almost 12 hours last Wednesday in the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Paris. But the Israeli Prime Minister still refused Arafat’s demand for an international inquiry into the violent clashes that had so far left more than 60 Palestinians dead. By 10 p.m., Albright’s aides broke the news to Arafat that the best he would probably get was a U.S.-led fact-finding commission.

“No!” Arafat thundered and stormed out of one of the residence’s ornate conference rooms. Albright, in another room, was alerted that Arafat was bolting for his limousine. She dropped her papers and raced out, finding the Palestinian leader 20 paces down the hallway, headed for the front door. Running awkwardly in heels, she did her best to catch up, shouting at him to stop. But the old man didn’t even look back. By the time Albright reached the doorway, Arafat was climbing into his limo. “Close the gates! Close the gates!” Albright yelled to the Marine Guards at the compound’s entrance, then skipped down the entrance steps to the driveway. “This is a humiliation,” Arafat seethed in the backseat of his car, now blocked from leaving. Albright caught up to the vehicle, and Arafat rolled down his window. “Come on, let’s go back inside,” she said soothingly. “Let’s sit down and settle this.”

Arafat finally agreed. Back in the conference room, he and Albright slumped into chairs. Barak and CIA Director George Tenet were there waiting. Tenet passed around spy-satellite photos from the areas with some of the worst fighting and showed how both sides could retreat from the flash points.

The four began making progress. By 11 p.m. Albright believed she had agreement from the two sides on steps they would take to halt the fighting and keep it from flaring up again. Arafat even softened his demand for an international probe. But outside, diplomacy had become a three-ring circus. President Hosni Mubarak had already booked Albright, Barak and Arafat for Egypt the next day so he could preside over the negotiations. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan had flown to Paris, eager to jump in. And French President Jacques Chirac sat in the Elysee Palace waiting for his turn.

The Marines opened the gates so Arafat and Barak could visit Chirac. While they were gone, Albright’s team typed up the steps the two men would take to defuse the crisis. When Barak and Arafat returned, Albright planned to show them the paper so they could begin wordsmithing. But Chirac tripped up the plan when he told Arafat he agreed that there should be an international inquiry. Emboldened, Arafat decided to hang with his original proposal. Barak returned to the American compound at midnight, but Arafat ordered his driver to take him to his hotel. He wasn’t going to be trapped again.

While Albright pleaded with Arafat over the phone to return, Barak and his aides napped on couches. Believing that the negotiations would wrap up early and Barak could leave by the afternoon, they hadn’t booked hotels. But by 2 a.m. Barak decided to fly back to Israel. Thursday evening, Albright’s jet cruised back to Washington. Groggy from only an hour’s sleep the night before, she had kept her morning appointment with Mubarak. (Arafat showed up as well.)

It’s a disgrace how she allowed those Arabs to humiliate her like that.

2 – North Korea – Meeting with Dear Leader

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright said tonight that ”important progress” had been made in her talks here with North Korea’s leader toward persuading North Korea to ”restrain missile development and testing, as well as missile exports,” though any final agreement will have to await further talks.

The two-day visit ended on a cordial note. As a parting gift, Dr. Albright presented a basketball autographed by Michael Jordan to Mr. Kim, who turns out to be an ardent fan.

As they said their farewells in the lobby of a government guest house tonight, Dr. Albright encouraged Mr. Kim ”to pick up the telephone any time,” an American official said. And Mr. Kim, — the leader of one of the few countries to deny its people Internet access but who is himself a keen Internet browser with three computers in his office — replied, ”Please give me your e-mail address.”

Please, gag me, someone.

Oh Gumdart: I’m sorry for the rude statement I made about her appearance.

They all add up as even more reasons (with names) not to vote for barry .

Madeleine Albright.
Love her, loathe him, still not getting my vote.

Bingo!

Can anyone say “Clinton Administration”? It appears even Obama thinks Hillary should be the nominee.

Another reason to NOT vote for Obama.

Why does he keep Susan Rice around? Are they having a thing?

“It was worth it.” That line still rankles. I have a great deal of respect for Madeleine Albright, but I only let the Clinton administration off the hook for Rwanda, because she was the Sec. of State. I keep thinking about that one radio tower and her ‘orders.’

We all know BO only listens to his own kiss-ass leftist clique. The old folks are there for show to “honor” them for their past service, of course.

This is the change we can believe in? Where’s the change? Sam Nunn, Lee Hamiliton, David Boren? Are we kidding? Hamilton has been a professsional apologist for the Republican screw ups for years. Nunn and Boren are the closest thing a Democrat can get to be a Republican without changing parties. Then add a slew of Clinton appointees to the mix. Change we can believe in? Oh Brother.

Susan Rice is the perfect example of an Obama supporter. When confronted with facts, she gets becomes argumentative and accuses the interviewer of lying.
Yesterday, she was on Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox. When Ingraham cited a quote from the Iraqi foreign minister that contradicted her Obama talking point for the day, Rice went on the attack.
Here’s a link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQj1aAPKAo4

obama is still spineless, incompetent, unqualified, and ethically challenged; therefore, i will never vote for him. period. why all the re-treads, i thought he was all about change? what a fraud he is!

Incompetent and ugly:
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

Vince, if you want to be misogynistic, take it over to Kos please.

Albright was installed by Clinton due to Hillary’s request in the 90′s and they are close friends. He always has to follow Hillary’s lead. What happened to all those “old politics” accusations–many of the people on this list have been around quite a while.

Wasn’t there a scandal about Greg Craig not too long ago?

Nothing will make a difference for me.

He is illegitimate–period.

Change we can believe in?

Why do Republicans always resort to nasty slurs? “Vince P”–you’ve made it clear you’re a Repuplican, but please have the decency to keep your criticism to facts. Or, just go elsewhere (we don’t really want you playing that game here and “sounding” like an a**h*le).

I apologize and yet still get an asshole. Nice.

Vince P’s a Republican.

Nasty just like MO

Oh btw: these people were working for my govt back in the 1990s.. I’ll criticize them if I feel like it. You don’t own them.

I’m an Independent Conservative. Not a Republican. Please be accurate.

Where’s Wes Clark – PLEASE don’t tell me he’s angling for VP…my respect for him will crash!

I agree. This is just the “endorsement” surrogates.

Good video there…..thanks. You can clearly see the two sides and assumptions made on both. Susan stuck to Obama’s talking points. Standard fare.

The surge working won’t be good news for Obama.

Not only the same old faces, Obama has now adopted Hillary’s 1 to 2 brigades per month. LOL*

Lordy, he’s shameless.

My thought is that he’s using a kind of presumptive presidential move here. It has the “look” of a cabinet. But it’s really not. It’s just Dems who will be speaking on TV for him off the Obama script. They are not, in fact, in charge of anything more than his endorsers were during the primary. They are talking heads only.

Sam Nunn stabbed President Bill Clinton in the back (several times) and forced the “Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell” abominable “compromise”. He’s knowledgeable and very opinionated on military issues, but a real “DINO” tool otherwise.

I heard about this yesterday and was equally surprised. Then I flipped to MSNBC for a second and saw the coverage of the Tim Russert funeral. The MSNBC camera was focused on Hillary Clinton who was sitting next to Madeleine. Ms. Albright was chatting away and Hillary was eagerly listening. Oh how I wish I could have read lips.

70% of them are beyond retirement age. nearly 50% are 70 or older.

I personally can not stand Susan Rice..her and MO are two of a kind. I think we all need to vote out the 10 women senators of change…especially McCaskill. I can not stand her. I don’t know how they can look Hillary in the face.

LOL.

Most of them function as if they’re dead anyway, what’s the difference?

Formerly thoughtfulvetting. Yes, they are talking heads only put in place to show us (former) Dems that we need not be so afraid of an “unqualified”, “incompetent”, and “spineless” presumptuous nominee.

Let’s see. Hussein Obama is all about change and new politics and Hillary is all about same ol same ol DC people, and what does he do? Surrounds himself with Clinton people from the 90′s. WTF?

You dont know what the fuck you’re speaking of Vince.

What would you have done, bomb the Palestinians, set up a secret network of MORON plumbers, too stupid to understand they function simply as a tool for someone else, despite their (weak) technology, because they think like you, delusional, blinded by their own fears and paranoias, their skewed childish notion of how the world really works, their inability to properly assess their own (lack of) power?

Sorry, Larry and Susan, I do not mean to be insulting, these are complex issues, and Vince reduces them to sexist pride, clearly unable to grasp higher intellectual complexities, a projection of his own self hate.

You’re a republican, right?

But see, there are differences between a Bob Gates Republican, and a Vince.

And we will disregard everything out of you petulant, uniformed, intellectually inferior mouth.

Ok, it makes the Bob Gates of the world look better not to be associated with you.

Vince doesn’t sound too different from Arafat, or those other Arab kooks, now does he?

He’s arguing his fears, and his ego, and his sexuality, very primitive, and childish.

Vince argues his fears, and his ego, everything but the issue at hand, highly unsophisticated thinking.

Just bomb ‘em all, right?

do you bathe in koolaid also?

“”Incompetent and ugly:
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright”" by Vince…

Hey idiot. Please post YOUR resume (please include your single digit IQ) and photo. Then tell us why you even matter.

This council looks like the Clinton administration without a Clinton President.

Well, Obama needs his chaperones.

He stole a nomination by tearing down the very administration that has now provided him with a foreign policy rescue crew. Now he’s running back to them, clueless.

I dont think it means a thing, first thing I see is a bunch of democrats who allowed themselves to be co opted be a corrupt POS, and his cow operatives.

Secondly, things have changed tremendously under Cheney, I think we’re seeing more kook generals, ala Petraeus , asserting themselves politically, and that needs to be considered, and countered, they dont belong.

Window dressing here, nothing more.

Obama is to me nothing more than an mediocre, obtuse operative, this is simply another Axelrod PR move.

Meh.

Doesn’t mean a thing until the people who push the Obama’s are eradicated.

How would you know?

He’ actually serving at the Navy compumd outside San Diego, railing on about “women” and teaching those goddamned liberals a lesson.

There is a suspicion Pooh suffers from a brain tumour.

where;s samantha power??

You see how crazy and unreasonable they are?

And when it’s about power with them, and not progress, they’re arguing their narcissism, or their psychoses.

All you can do is sit back, and think of them as a tool, which is what they are.

No Abe Lincoln, here, you know, just another obtuse moron kook crew.

Gosh….good observation.

This is going after the older vote move? LOL*

Good catch!

The faux-Left [culturally but not economically liberal] Democrats think that the Republicans have screwed up so badly that they can run anyone and win.

I recall only one time that actually worked.

Jimmy Carter in 1976.

I also recall how that ultimately turned out for the Democratic Party.

I wonder if the GOP is actually throwing this election. It might work for them in the long run to let Plastic Jesus become president, and unwittingly help the GOP as Jimmy Carter did.

Really, any 9-11 whitewash commission follow ups to be done?

Why is he even on the political map at all?

Hamilton?

That means we’re still ramping up major rebuild dollars in Iraq, Baker-Hamilton and all that…

She got fired from the campaign when she admitted to a British journalist that Obama was just blowing smoke about leaving Iraq.

Described his “leave within 18 months” as a best-case scenario, one for campaigning, but as soon as he speaks to generals on the ground, sure to change (ie, be more like Clinton’s).

Surprised?

LOl, I find myself wondering if everyone on both parties isn’t complicit and the goal is to overthrow the 2-party system, so they can more readily institute the North American Union. This (s)election is surreal.

Ehew.

Looks like the usual suspects to me. All of them heavy inside-the-beltway heavy hitters. He’s going to need them to stand up to a debate with McCain. I wonder if they can actually get him to do some homework. He obviously didn’t do any during the primary season.

Sam Nunn wil bring in a lot of conservative moderates who are afraid of McCain.

A LOT!

I think he should make Larry Sinclair his Press Secretary. They could work closely and Sinclair could be his mouthpiece, since he’s provided that service for BO before.

Then they will fire him or drive him to quit by Feb. 2009.

Window dressing.

hey idiot. your argument is a non starter and you’re ganging up on someone who tells the truth.

No we are not republicans here…we’re democrats who know OBama is a threat to national security.

He will recline on his palanquin, give orders, and critique their work. Morale should plummet.

Dubya II.

But if Dubya II, who are his enforcers? What is their leverage? Clearly he has some or they would not be able to get everybody in line so quickly.

Potemkin two-party system, more-like.

Obama said he would trun the page.

And we get this list of ‘The Usual Suspects.’

I guess what Obama really meant was — turn the page back.

What a joke.

Thoughts?

This group is Sorely lacking!

Agreed!!

that was to the uncalled for ugly remark

looks are so subjective
it’s ignorant to even go there

I couldn’t agree more. Misogyny is not acceptable period! One of the problems of the Obama’s campaign is using the tactics of the right and it’s turned off a lot of people. You can’t change your moral compass just because the party/person speaking is now on your side. Treating HRC with so little respect especially given all she has done for the DNC is what turned most people off to ever supporting Obama not to mention she campaigned for Obama for senator. She was not the enemy and his supporters still are treating her that way even after she has endorsed him, talking about arrogant ignorance. I think we have had enough of that type of leadership the last 7+ years. There seems to be a merging of a large part of the two parties. When will the simplicity of understanding that when women are respected we will not have a lot of the other problems that exist today that are not related to sexism.

Be a real man and have respect for woman regardless of what party affliation you may or may not be. Why is it certain men and woman like to attack intelligent woman based on their appearance? Insecurity is my guess, there are more appropriate ways to handle insecurity. We all have them but we don’t have to project it onto others.

You just don’t send an orderly to do brain surgery, and that’s the problem here, highly educated, pompous, ivy league orderlies, trying to do brain surgery.

With the expected results.

Yea it’s like a trip down memory lane!

I want to know who the McCain camp has as BACK UP when or if John runs into medical trouble or what ever?

The DEM supers can still pull up Hillary when BHO goes under. But who will the Repugs use as back up?

I don’t want a BHO style white house
but if McCain crumbles, croaks or flails before NOV who is the back up?

And if HIS camp is holding that MO tape why should I vote for him when he’s cheating HILLARY out of a fair shot against him? Is he afraid of a Woman?

According to BTD at TalkLeft, Wes was sitting by Obama’s side during this meeting:

http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/6/18/193347/247

And I don’t think Wes is “angling” for anything, but if Obama is wise enough–and can bag his ego enough–to put Wes in a prominent position in his administration (assuming there is one) then I can support him. I trust Wes as I have no other public figure/politician ever.

And I still want Dean and Kerry and Pelosi and the rest of the Vichy Dems OUT OUT OUT.

Thoughts???????

A bunch of retreads.

Madeleine Albright

And an outright failure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEw0ZYlpYXE&feature=related

Simple NSC technology RULEs, D0ods!

Haha….bunch of retreads….and apologists….”America is always wrong”….more of the same.

Thank God! I believe in “Change we can Believe In”

Change? Give me a break…bunch of the same old crap.

Albright? Biggest failure since Ethanol….

Yeah, Bush wasn’t experienced but he had great handlers….

Are you talking about Obama’s choices or the commenters on this blog?

I disagree.

Anyway, with the Bush/Republican team, its’ pretty much all the same mind, no thinking, nothing, just some dull pompous asshole who can’t write, or think or fight, kooks who blow things up, randomly, but predictably, with no discernible notion of their lack of efficacy.

But tools who consider themselves untouchable tech like genius, none the less, Bush’s NSC.

Can you imagine trying to function at the level of a republican trolled moron, who belives he’s a genius?

Good thing no one like that is running an operation, of any sort, why the US would be spanked, internationally, and he’d never know…

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Uhhh….Where is *Winnie the Pooh* on this list??

and…and *Luke Skywalker*????

Lol!

“Change”, anyone?

obie’s choices – sorry thought that was obvious.

For the people who think change is coming, it is a sad day. Yes these people represent different views and backgrounds, but they are solidly part of the past.

The is a scam. Many of the people in that room have little respect for BO’s qualifications and will act accordingly.

BO does not have the experience or mental capabilities to work the room and looked like a lost petulant child in a room of adults.

As a comparison, Senator Clinton would be able to advance the “arguments” more effectively.

And one more striking component…there were no “minorities”, they were all “white” people. What does that say about BO?

IDIOTS!!!

Did you notice how dwarfed Obama looked with this group? He looked like he was a kiddie sitting at the adult table. The candidate to workgroup experience quotient is like 1 to a billion.

If O is so confident in his change message. If he is so ready to lead. If he knows everything. How is it he can’t tell us NOW who is running mate is? My guess is that he is waiting it out to see who McCain chooses before he chooses. How convenient!

I did apologize for calling her ugly at 06:45 , a whole FOUR minutes after I made the comment.

It’s interesting how so many of you felt the need to respond to my first comment but yet no one acknowledged that I was sorry for saying it. Oh well.. that’s the Internet I guess.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS1oZYFaVII&feature=related

Oh, my oh my, don’t it make you want to cry, oh…

No kidding. 400 million Americans and the same old gang.

They think we were born under a rock.
