the united nations is beyond hopeless.
hard to believe that these criminally incompetent fools are the ones obama and his devout followers think America must subordinate itself to.

given the current economic climate i find it disturbing that in preparing for a transition of power obama is reportedly telling staffers to read up and study fdr and his '100 days'. especially in light of a lot of recent economic research purporting to show fdr's economic policies prolonged the great depression. like obama he was in the habit of doing what investors react most negatively to - making sudden and erratic policy change.

another non-American who is clueless about the the United States' present tax system.
the top ten percent in the US pay something like 70 percent of taxes.
there are 40 percent 'at the bottom' who pay no taxes and yet are allowed to vote on, among other things, how the more productive or gifted are to be taxed.
liberals like to jawbone about a more progressive tax system, 'economic justice' and code words like obama's 'redistrubutive change.'
it's bunk.
the United States of America has the most progressive tax system in the world:
"...But a new study on inequality by researchers at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris reveals that when it comes to household taxes (income taxes and employee social security contributions) the U.S. "has the most progressive tax system and collects the largest share of taxes from the richest 10% of the population.""

as was pointed out, clinton is the only post war dem elected to two terms.
are you actually going to protest that the re-elections of eisenhower, nixon, reagan and gw bush, all in a span of less than 60 years, were flukes?

obama lived in indonesia at a time when the country did not allow dual citizenship. his mother's second third world muslim husband decided young barack's nationality.
did he take an oath of allegiance to the United States upon his return?
most likely not.
why is this not an issue?

'militarist' is hardly limited to foreign intervention. obama has called for a national security force which will rival the armed forces in size and power.
religious crazies? are you referring to obama's disgraced pastor and spiritual guide, shrieking for America's damnantion from the pulpit of all place?
racist bigots? how did obama win the nomination in a country that is 15 percent 'black'?
homophobic? like obama's predecessor kerry four years ago, gratuitously bringing up in nationally televised debate cheney's daughter's sexual orientation?
obama's infomercial ran simultaneously on all three networks, meaning those w/o cable couldn't surf away. unprecedented.
work for a paper that didn't endorse obama. off the campaign plane you go.
i'll be here. although i do not endorse the man it will be a somewhat historic day, one that speaks of America's greatness.
question is, will all those who have come here saying bush shredded the constitution, the country is virtually under martial law, the patriot act was the end of America, they've got bin laden in captivity and will use him as an october surprise etc etc be brave enough to show?

bill clinton relates what really happened when the financial crisis first became apparent:
"I haven't cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis)," Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in Florida. "He said, 'Tell me what the right thing to do is. What's the right thing for America? Don't tell me what's popular. You tell me what's right -- I'll figure out how to sell it.'" [...]
unfit to lead.

three more sources, some from the late 70's, all describing khalidi as an employee of the p.l.o. when it was a terror organization.
i think this seals it. here is yet another terrorist obama has very troubling long and established ties to.
from the site of writer martin kramer http://sandbox.blog-city.com/khalidi_of_the_plo.htm
note that one of the sources identifying khalidi as working for the p.l.o. is an l.a. times article of 1976.
and note that it was again conservative bloggers uncovering what the mainstream media is uninterested in looking for or too terrified to disclose.

game, set, match to sailwind
thanks for playing, dude.
getting back to the topic - politico shows obama's lead continually shrinking.
how can this be? the media's chosen one has spent a billion dollars getting himself elected. he preempted the final game of the national pastime with an unprecedented thirty minute big brother infomercial tv viewers across the country were horrified to find running on all three major networks.

obama wants to invade pakistan.
how is invading a nuclear power going to help 'the issue' of eradicating militant, transnational islamo-fascism?
