Why just 2.5 million jobs? Since he is the chosen one, I'm sure that he could just as easily create 10 million new jobs? He obviously could care less about those other millions of people. Some great leader he turned out to be...

That was an awesome post SuperLib; you described the opponents of the war perfectly. No matter how bad Saddam was, there is always this large group of people that were willing to make excuses for him. Even when the reputation of the glorious UN itself was at stake, they were not willing to say that the UN's resolutions should be taken in the least bit seriously. For me, those who gave their lives to defeat that dictator did so for all of the right reasons and their sacrifice was not in vain. Let me add for those that say that the price was too high - those that 'volunteered' to join the service gave their lives for a just cause. It was their decision and theirs alone - no one forced them to join. Whether the price in dollars was too high can never be known.

I'm no big Obama fan (I voted for McCain) - but Zawahiri will not divide Americans with that kind of BS. Go crawl back in your cave.

Now that the Iaqi cabinet has approved the security pact, American oil companies can return to raping the nation of it's oil. Oh I forgot, that's the propaganda of the Democrat party, not reality.

Anything that is seen as a slight against Obama will be made into a big issue. There are so many similar incidents directed against Bush and Republicans in general. The worst incident was an ad by the Democrat's during the 2000 election. James Byrd's daughter associated the possibility of Bush's election as President as being akin to the dragging death of her father. Let's also not forget about the man in California who hung Gov. Palin in effigy.
All that being said, all of this anger against Obama using blacks as a proxy is ignorant.

This slander of the President is not supported by the facts. The people that are now in the military have either enlisted or re-enlisted since the war in Iraq began. In the case of officers, any of them could have resigned their commissions. Because people are free to choose whether they want to server or not, no one in the military feels betrayed by the President - or else one would assume that they wouldn't be in the military in the first place. They joined because they support what we are doing or else why join?

I remember Obama's sacred trust in our military - the one about saying they lost the war in Iraq. I am one person who has worn the uniform who does not buy his words. These are 'just words, just speeches', that are meant to fool veterans to think that he actually gives a damn about them.

I never thought she was all that great but she did have a lot of success. Her voice is average at best and she was not all that "cute" back in her heyday like say Chisato Moritaka. The thing that I remember most about her was how skinny she was. She had a body like a 10 year old boy - yikes! Regardless, I salute her success.

The Big Labor Union bosses will get whatever they want from Obama. He has already promised to re-negotiate NAFTA. He is going to bail out the US auto makers but will not force Big Labor to re-do their lavish contracts. He will not take away the millions of dollars that the Union bosses are getting paid for failing American industry. The unions will be in good shape - socialism is just a few months away...

Palin shouldn't give the clothes back - that's silly. Let her keep them. After the horrible treatment she got from the national meda, the misgynists in the Democrat party, and a few sore McCain supporters, she deserves them. No public money was spent on them. BTW - has Hillary Clinton returned the china and furniure she stole from the White House yet?

I think that transitions of power in the United States, especially when it involves a change in political parties, have always been and will be again this time very gratifying to witness. I oppose Obama very strongly, but would never consider doing anything to question his legitimacy as our nations leader. To do otherwise, would be damaging to us all.

Blue_Tiger,
Your analysis of McCains missed opportunies in your 08:27 PM post are very good. McCain let so many things slide that Democrat's would have no qualms of exploiting. Jeremiah Wright is the most distressing to me. McCain did not attack the racism of the Left because he was afraid that the media would gin up attacks against him on the issue of race - somehow. The Left was going after McCain for opposing the MLK holiday as it that makes him a racist. That went away once Mr. USofKK-A got pulicised. Then all of the sudden we should get beyond race. I still remember the Democrats add against Bush in 2000 that link him to the dragging death of a black man in Texas. It was a despictable add yet the media let it go without calling them out of it.
What has just occurred in this election is a reaffirmation that racism in America continues to be tolerated. As long as that racism is targeted at whites. Obama participated in a religeous organzation for two decades that is blatantly racist and practices an ideology of black superiority. Yet the media was not at all curious about it. Obama has never been forced to explain why he sat in a racist church for all those years. He was never forced to explain his association with a race-centric philosophy. Imagine if McCain was a member of a white-centric church and if he had been associated with it for years and years. The media would attacked him as a racist - and with justification. I am angered by the double standard. This double standard makes an assumption of racism for whites and does not to the same for non-whites. I have never lived in an America in which the government was racist against blacks because I was born after the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Discrimination has only been shifted to whites and in particular, white males. I have seen it - it is institutionalized throughout our society.

Odd isn't it? Obviously, it was reported by someone or no one would have known that Obama thinks that are 57 states. But just imagine if McCain had said it. Can you seriously doubt that it would not have been highly publicized? Most major media outlets in the US are no different from the BBC. They have an agenda and they use (and not use) whatever furthers that agenda. Even Liberals can see what it but will not push for any objectively as it benefits them. You can see that in the Fairness Doctrine that will undoubtedly be pushed in the coming Congress. Free speech is irrelevent as long as the ends justify the means.

McCain was ahead in all of the polls until the wall street collapse in September. No one can seriously believe that Obama had any intention to actively try to win in Iraq. When the going got tough, he wanted to bail. He wants to withdraw on a set time table regardless of the situation. That's what he campiagned on. Winning or losing is not important to him. Increasing government intrusion into peoples lives, growing government, and moving the country to the Left are his goals. If Bush's surge in Iraq had failed, he would not have come up with any new strategy for success. His strategy was withdrawal (ie. giving up, surrendering, waving the white flag).
He has stated that he wants to win in Afghanistan. Ironically, he has stated that he supports a surge in troops there. This would logically mean that he thinks we can win in Afghanistan. I applaud him for that. However, it just shows that he was using the easier war as a foil to attack Bush and Republicans for not giving up on Iraq because it was much harder. Now that he is President-elect, what is his "exit strategy" for Afghanistan? Victory? He hasn't said.
Such a statment can be made about most Presidents who served during war. No matter how confident one may be of success, anything can happen in war. What counts is what happens when the going gets tough. Democrats showed their true colors by wanting to give up at the first signs of difficulties while Republicans sought for solutions and a new strategy to win. It is not hard to imagine that should things get difficult in Afghanistan, Obama and Democrats in general will just give up and the consequences be damned.
To the contrary, it is just a matter of public record that Democrats were not in the least interestd in succeeding in Iraq. The Democrats supported a cut off of funds for the military at the exact time when the Democrat party should have been unifying around our forces to get through the most difficult period in the war. That is what makes me the most upset about my own country. How can so many people give up on their country and use that difficult situation for partisan gain? It was a sickening display of crass self-interest that those who care about defeating international terrorism and state sponsors of terrorism will not forget. Obama was a part of that.
Such sentiments fall on deaf ears. How any person from the Left could make such an assertion with any sincerity at all after that was done to oppose Bush is simply not worth considering with any seriousness. Conservatives will support America's war efforts no matter who the President is. However, when it comes to domestic issues, it is in the best interests of America's future that he failed completely. No more socialism! We got enough of that from Bush to be quite honest. I didn't support Bush's big spending and I won't support Obama's either.

That is almost inspiring except you forgot the part about how Liberals have been tearing down President Bush - even hurting our war efforts - in order to regain power. It's one thing to go after Bush among us Americans, but Dems have been traveling the world to bashing Bush and talking down our war effort. Dems like Barack Obama and Senator Reid announced that we lost!
Please, what is inarguable is that now you want all Americans to come together now that a Liberal is going to be President but had no problem when Liberals refused to come together with Conservatives and Independents when the going got tough in Iraq.
Conservatives will oppose the new president just as Liberals opposed the outgoing president. And do you think that Liberals do not hate President Bush? The only difference being that we will not hope for defeat in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

I seen this report myself but I have seen a video of Barack Obama stating that America has 57 states. Now you tell me, does that make him qualified? You didn't hear much about this in the MSM because they had his back and have done all they can to smear Palin who is in fact, more politically experienced then Obama. Well, that's all water under the bridge now - but spare me this holier than thou about Obama being more qualified than Palin.... come on - 57 states? What an idiot!
