Senator Biden made a quick visit to Georgia, and pledged to work for an aid package worth one billion dollars. We all know that one billion will turn into ten billion once the reconstruction mismanagement starts.
How dare he!
Where is all this money coming from? What is the rest of the world contributing?
The british pound and the euro are at all time highs against the dollar, yet it is us that spend like drunken soldiers.
If Obama indeed picks Joe Biden as his running mate, it would be a smart but transparent choice.
The choice would be an admission that he needs something or someone to beef up his foreign policy inexperience. The choice would also quite the criticism from McCain that the Obama ticket would be the wrong choice in these increasingly turbulant times abroad.
Here we go again. The French broker a deal and step back. The Americans send in troops to "assist" with humanetarian relief efforts for Georgia.
Why always our troops.
The elections cannot come soon enough. The end of war mongering cannot stop soon enough.
The Bush administration, with little world credibility and little bark left, i.e. are we going to take on Russia now, on top of Iraq and Afganistan, immediatly took the opportunity to turn on and up the threats and send into Georgia more of our troops.
It doesnt take a lot of analysis to figure us out. Here is how we behave.
1. We react only to a crisis.
2. We pretty much fall for what ever a politician promises that translates into immediate gratification.
3. We hate government, but expect it to save our ass when in trouble.
4. We stay interested/upset over any issue only as long as the media focuses on it.
5. We choose our leaders based on their position on issues that really dont affect our daily lives.
It’s pretty clear that the American people want to boot Bush & Co. out of the Whitehouse. Barack Obama’s message of change absolutely resonated in Iowa, stunning the country with an astounding win. Even on the Republican side, the insurgent who criticized the President’s “bunker mentality” beat the corporate Bush-apologist in Iowa. Change has been the recurring theme of this campaign so far.
Davenport, IA – How would a President Obama handle an international crisis? One may hope to gain a glimpse as Senator Obama responds to the situation in Kenya. Hundreds of Kenyans have been killed after a disputed election, including approximately 50 who died when a church was burned with refuge-seekers i
It’s the end of the year and a good time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished over the last year. What were you hoping the Democratically-controlled Senate would have accomplished in 2007?
Tonight when Karl Rove makes his New Year’s resolution, I’m betting it has something to do with helping Hillary Clinton win the Democratic nomination. Rove’s suggestion of her inevitability has been picked up like a mantra by the GOP, Rove’s surrogates and even many in the media. Rove knows there is only one way for the Republicans to win the Whitehouse in 2008 and that is to divide the country.
