Also did anyone hear how much the Russian's love Obama. They have cancelled their original agreement to disarm and disassemble Nuclear War Heads. In other words with the announcement that Obama is the new President they are breaking a signed sealed and delivered treaty. That is what your President has gotten you in the first few days as the Electorate selected President of the United States. Russia is also placing missiles in Poland which was our original plan. So do you see how weak they feel Obama is, I forecasted he would be toyed with and it has already began. He is untested and unproven and most likely to either give away years of gains by former presidents or get us into a war with Russia. Either could be catastrophic to our society with the state of the economy. Remember it was the economy that brought Russia to it's knees, now they have had years of smuggling, oil sales and profiteering to regain a strong economy. "

"Does this represent a shift in Mr. Obama's position on Iraq?"

Iraq?
Military Families United has always stood up for our troops and their

the man that America just elected to be president stands on these
issues. His promises throughout the campaign made it clear that he was

4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available

A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value
system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if its a white
church or a black church its still wrong. Anyone from either race that
attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal
theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: 'Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified
totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and
against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.

Your mention about God not being a part of Obama’s win is interesting to me. So let’s look at that. Many people prayed that Obama would lose. Many people prayed that he would win – I was not a part of either of these actions. You believe God exists and that he hears all prayers I would imagine so what does this mean. God didn’t listen to you, doesn’t exist, thinks you’re wrong or has decided to punish everyone in America by letting Obama win because half the country thought he was a better leader than McCain. If the latter is true than your God is an incredibly childish, insecure, maniacal, loser. If he knows something we don’t he should step in to save us if he really loves us no matter what. The truth is that God doesn’t exist and there is no higher being living in the sky listening to and answering prayers. "

The only answer I can give you is this. I personally do not believe that many politicians – Save Bush Jr. - are all that religious. Obama and McCain do not strike me as pious men. Most politicians in my opinion pay lip service to religion just to garner support from the populace. I’m sure many people will disagree with me on this and that is fine. When Obama went to that church I don’t really believe that he took it all that seriously. I don’t believe he believes in many of the things that Reverend Wright said and I highly doubt that Reverend Wright was really all that much of a “Mentor” to Obama. You are right though, if McCain went to a predominantly white church that spoke about white pride etc. it would have been completely blown up in the media.

He has already in the process of being tested by our cold war advesary Russia and thus far has not responded to their intention to disregard a signed treaty with the United States.
Surely as the President elect he should have an opinion in this matter and might suggest a complaint be filed with the United Nations to create a paper trail to a confrontation at a later date over Russia failing to disarm as agreed to in an existing treaty.
This demonstrates another reason perhaps talking isn't the answer, we were talking to Russia when they pledged an oath and now that a weaker President is coming into office they want to throw out the concessions they already agreed to. What does that tell you about what Russia thinks of Nobama?

The reason he didn't select Hilldog as his VP is Michelle knew that they'd be spending too much time together and was jealous. If she is Secretary of State she will be out of the country a lot. Besides Obama has to pay Hilldog off for her and Bill's support during the campaign against McCain.

Barack Obama won this election in his manipulation and brainwashing the cyber jocks across the United States into buying in to him and his programs. He aims this propoganda at the young do you know why? Because those of us who have been involved in war and been around the block a few times, know better. Promises are cheap but what he says he is gonna accomplish eight presidents before him have worked hard at it and couldn't do.

Under the Obama-Biden plan, a residual force will remain in Iraq and in the region to conduct targeted counter-terrorism missions against al Qaeda in Iraq and protect American diplomatic and civilian personnel. They will not build permanent bases in Iraq, but will continue efforts to train and support the Iraqi security forces as long as Iraqi leaders move toward political reconciliation and away from sectarianism.
The unique part of this plan just like LBJ's is it doesn't set a limit on how many people will be left behind to do this and for how long they will do it. Do you really call that pulling out? "

The word redeploy, it dosen't say bring them home, the war is over in Iraq so now it is time for Afghanistan but he can't tell you that.

Obama and Biden will form an international working group to address this crisis. They will provide at least $2 billion to expand services to Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, and ensure that Iraqis inside their own country can find sanctuary.

By December of 1961, 3,200 U.S. military personnel were in Vietnam as advisors, supported by $65 million in military equipment and $136 million in economic aid. Military assistance was reorganized as the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), formed under the command of General Paul D. Harkins in February 1962. MACV was there to support the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) to defend the country. MACV included Army Special Forces (Green Beret) instructors and CIA personnel organizing the Montagnards in the mountains."
They were all called Military Advisors and when Kennedy was assassinated LBJ took over the war effort. Change a few words, change the country and it's the same damn fight. I thought Obama said he wouldn't let this become another Vietnam?
