For all those who really believe Obama stands for change?

Down girl! The pain from the lobotomy will go away in a few weeks.

Every new president is "on training wheels". Even Hillary would be as the world has changed since Bill was in office. Things that were true in 2000 might not be in 2009.

There is a reason why the qualifications for the job are limited, the time span in office is limited, and the powers are in somewhat checked --- the founding fathers knew it was a job you could never do anything to prepare for and anyone coming in would have to figure it out on the job.

The reality is his response was a fair one for that time span even though it was too Clintonian for my tastes. Alot has changed in Pakistan over the last 6 months. Today I would guess that his response to that question would be entirely different.

I do think there is some inconsistency between his stance on pulling out of Iraq and determining to take issue with Pakistan. Could it be that he was trying to play up to the Republicans a bit?

Myself, I don't trust him. He reminds me alot of Bush with his reliance on charisma over policy. And you are right, it is no change. Bush talked trash about Iraq and then invaded, now Obama is talking a bit of trash about Pakistan.

When are our leaders going to stop getting caught up with other countries affairs and focus on rebuilding ourselves?

Eh, no longer possibly. yet greater so than the different practicable applicants. You for the a practicable "replace" candidate as quickly as, then p.c.. the subsequent one and the subsequent one till you exhibit to the government which you incredibly need replace. It would not take place in one election. it incredibly is how conservatives took over. it incredibly is how the moderates and liberals will might desire to do it, too. after all, Ron Paul might have stood for replace... even nonetheless it grew to become into mindless, poorly theory out replace. replace for the sake of replace is not any sturdy. there's a reason so few human beings voted for him.

come on.... You can't actually be eating up the words that you're writing....

everyone knows that Obama is a huge fan of diplomacy. I didn't like the way that he referred to "enemies" in yesterday's speech, but i think that he was probably just using the word to decipher between those who like the U.S. and those who don't.

So, this point you speak of does not phase me......

I guess we need someone more experienced like Joe Biden who agreed with Barack on every one of those points.

Funny thing is is that we recently did exactly what he suggested. You're twisting his words: we aren't going to send ground troops and tanks and lay siege to Islamabad, we'd do a catefully-targetted bombing or special forces raid.

ABC - Anybody But Hillary. That's the only change we need. No more Clinton/Bush dynasty.

YEAH...RIGHT...Hes in LA-LA Land...trying to be a MLK...and people are buying this. Im a liberal think Im gonna vote MCCAIN

I have no problem with what he said, and i agree with it.

If the existing politicians were as rational we would have Bin Laden caught by now.
