"Anyone who saw Barack Obama at Berlin's Siegess�ule on Thursday could recognize that this man will become the 44th president of the United States. He is more than ambitious -- he wants to lay claim to become the president of the world."
I think Germans where impressed hearing a potential president who could speak English. After, Bush, Obama seems every articulate.
Quite clear the old way was not the way to go
Getting the World together is the way to go
If Obama is the World President?
So Be IT!
He is showing McCain, and doing a great job
Obama is very well educated, McCain is just a rich boy on the block
Paid for everything and did nothing in his life
He looked presidential and acted presidential because he is presidential material. The only thing McCain could do overseas is sing, "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."
We are very fortunate to have Obama at this very critical juncture of our nation's history. He will choose a very intelligent and experienced vp. Just wait.
McCain? He will choose a mid aged white guy who makes McCain look good and elderly: that is the man's only hope.
Obama, send him to the Olympics and upstage the Chinese.
Anonymous 12:47 If you read the full text of Obama's speech you will find that he didn't criticize America, he simply acknowledged that there are some misperceptions on both sides of the Atlantic and that we need each other if we are going to stop terrorism because no nation, regardless of how strong they are, can do it alone. Many of the major arrests of terrorists in the past several years have come from intelligence gathered by the police and national security forces in European nations.
Cut through all the ideological BS Neocons have been shelling out to the world and get to the heart of the matter -
Interdependence.
The perception of Obama, a 1st term Senator, is that he is very weak on foreign matters. So he is traveling internationally to strengthen this weakness. Come Fall and the campaigns intensify Obama wants these international trips to strengthen his weakness.
Obama draws a crowd in Europe because he is the democratic candidate. Bush (Republican) is in the White House--Europe is more left leaning, it seems, and they do not like the war in Iraq, so it is not a surprise that they favor Obama.
Obama draws a huge crowd, perhaps, because he is historic. The first black man to be a major nominated candidate for president. He also presents well. For the many people who don't bother to be well informed, don't read newspapers, don't think deeply about society and history, these people can easily be won simply by presentation. That is why Obama's gaffes, lapses in judgment, and poor policy proposals don't matter to them. They like him because of presentation.
Obama in November.
said was not needed as we went on our rampage to grab the best oil patch in iraq. we called them "freedom fries" because the french suggested we send in inspectors with a mandate to inspect rather then troops, then if we found weapons invade. guess what the french were right, no wmd. but we still act like the europeans were insulting us, not the other way around, good to see that our relationships will be vastly improved shortly after jan 20 09.
Is this 2008 or 1938?
Vote for McCain and Mitt in 2008
Obamaism's done.
He lost.
Go back to the 50's where you came from, Neocons!
It's a new, progressive, liberal world - and it's beautiful to behold!
Kumbaya ...
Come November, all those states outside of Utah are simply going to raise up and save us from ourselves. It doesn't even bother me that I live in Utah any more, I can still depend on those other U.S. citizens. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! YES, WE CAN!!!
I read an article online about how Nancy Reagan hates McCain for the way that he cheated on his wife. He was in his 40s, and having an afair with Cindy who was in her 20s. What a guy...
SORRY OBAMAISM - Obama was channeling Ronald Reagan today. Well, we knew Ronald Reagan, Senator Obama, and you're not in his league.
I'm certainly not a fan of McCain either, but he is the lesser of two evils, and is a more middle-of-the-road Republican, so perhaps he can somehow bring the two parties together and get some things done.
I remember all the promises the Democrats made when they took control of Congress, and I see now how many of those promises have gone unfilled and how little they've actually been able to accomplish. What they have accomplished is driving our economy into the toilet (that's right - Bush doesn't get all the credit for this).
As long as the candidates have the expectation that the goal in life is employment, they will spend money we work to give them to create more jobs for us and our children. We are going the wrong way; that is bondage and stress.
Solutions to world problems are found when we realize the goal in life is retirement in a garden paradise we create. That solves world problems at the same time. It is easy, quick, fair to all, and long lasting. Leviticus 26 is God's promise of rain in due season for healthy crops, animals, and people.
We must chose the Divine-Way and God will raise up a candidate that will bring it to its fulness. This is the only place we will find change we can really depend on. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."
How can you scare people that are already scared sick by the current administration.
I do have to give Obama credit, he is a master actor, when he has his script.
Do not think that Rev Wright just happened to come and go without this being planned, last we heard from him was an attack on Obama. So what happened when Obama got tough and turned his back from Wright? Does anyone believe that Wright is just going to stop wagging his tongue after Obama went after him?
Enjoy your under $4.00 a gallon gas, cause when Obama is in office, he wants it to be higher, which also means higher food prices. But on the other hand, you will get free medical, just plan to wait in line for three hours or three months or three years.
Watch out for wolves in sheep's clothing!!!
