On the Dem side, Mike Gravel was clearly “the best man for the job”, but was removed from the debates by Howard Dean at the request of GE, who owns NBC, due to his no-compromise stance on preemptive war. He also advocated citizen referendums at the federal level, which would probably have killed the Federal Reserve by now, and most certainly would’ve nixed the TARP (bailout) legislation.

Obama might be even more dangerous than Bush/McCain/Palin because he’s trusted by the civil libertarian left and is being given passes on things like expanded survellance powers which otherwise would’ve drawn a furor from them if done by the right, probably on the assumption that he won’t “abuse” those powers, when the powers themselves are about as anti-democratic as it gets. Same trap the right fell into with Bush, and it’s sad to see the left following the same pattern. At the very least i thought we might eek some congressional oversight out of him, but no. His policies are like Bush on steroids – same torture authrotiy, expanded spying powers, all of it – with a slight change in rhetoric. Apparently that’s all that’s required of Nobel Laureates these days..

seeing Obama praised over on Huffpo and having his anti-privacy, anti-4A actions excused as “politically necessary” reminds me of a so-called “pro gun” Repub partisan over on Arfcom defending Bush’s “willingness” to sign another AWB if passed as “a necessary compromise with the left so he can get things done”, when he made his statements in the runup to his first term with a solid Repub majority in Congress, and from a President (sic) who routinely ignored the opposition on all other issues.

How generous of “John”! Though not from the US, he cares, he really cares, about the future of our country. And he’s into outdoor fireplaces. How forward-thinking is that? What with unemployment and all…

Although I’m not from the US, I’m glad that Obama won and follow US politics much more than I used because of it. I believe he’s the best man for the job and hope he can help take the country forward.

The people around the world had so much expectation when Obama won the presidency. We know that he entered in the position during the Global crises which is until now a great challenge for his political will and career. Let’s give him some time to serve the USA and to surpass this turmoil. Let us support him.

Obama brings new hope for the USA. He is a principled man which is needed in today’s generation. He has the power to bind both the black and white American. Thanks that he won!

Folks who think Obama needs support should send him a girdle. As for his “power to bind” there are far more effective–and cheaper– remedies.

Bob,

Up until August I had been a webmaster for 10 years. I lost interest and shut the site down after shuttering two others in 2002.

As for the men in black…they know full well who I am going back years as I use my pie hole a plenty. As for my e-mail… I have Spam Filters and know how to use them.

Timberwolf3@toast.net is my e-mail addy. You’re welcome any time Bob and Susan28.
