Every time he talks about Iran I get the feeling there's a pod person there in Obama's body, because what he says sounds a lot like what W was saying.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-48953635287287809372009-02-03T22:31:00.000-06:002009-02-03T22:31:00.000-06:00And yet Colin and Barack are BFF.

Sure, Daschle is out, but Judd Gregg as Commerce Secretary. This bipartisan kabuki gets on my tits anyhow, but keeping up the game is making me very pissed.

I support Obama, particularly his outreach to the Arab world, and I hope and expect Secretary Clinton to do the same. <BR/><BR/>Really, I don't understand someone who supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries why they wouldn't support her as Secretary of State. One PUMA blog actually said they were hopeful that she would 'resign in disgust' in the first year. I'm not impressed with that kind of disloyalty to issues and hard-working candidates, particularly one who made as many sacrifices as Hillary Clinton did. (I hope I sound sincere enough here because I am.) <BR/><BR/>Having said all of that, I do not forgive Clinton for her saber-rattling in 2007. It was one part of many in her downfall in my opinion, and certainly contributed to my sense that I could not support her candidacy in the primaries.Fran / Blue Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293627981248346055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-7675606802965812502009-02-03T18:38:00.000-06:002009-02-03T18:38:00.000-06:00Fifty years ago, on Feb. 3, 1959, a single-engine ...Fifty years ago, on Feb. 3, 1959, a single-engine plane crashed shortly after midnight near Clear Lake, Iowa, claiming the lives of rock-and-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P.

The Bushite...Powell's UN speech was his down fall. The Bushites used him and moderates were disappointed that he worked for Bush in the first place. If he believed he could influence Bush that was probably a non general-like assumption on his part and he was totally wrong and he paid the price. Of course he was loved again when he endorsed Obama.<BR/><BR/>Your comment about Hillary is curious. It's both critical and seems lacking in sincerity. Is she Obama's choice to be supported or not? We know she’s smart and is both political and knowledgeable concerning foreign affairs. I don’t profess to know the reasons for her AIPAC speech - but I bet she used very calculated words.<BR/><BR/>How long has Obama been president? How long has Hillary been S of S? Let’s support them both, give them some time, rally around their best efforts and remain faithful. I do not want the typical Democrat vs. Democrat bickering to once again slow forward progressive progress. I’m tired of the herding cats metaphor as it applies to Dems. That’s one of the reasons the Repugs have been so successful capturing the White House.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
