Indeed, and speaking of diplomacy, I am glad to see the state
department
back in the hands of political and career diplomats, and no longer a
tool
of the pentagram, er, pentagon.

The only thing I find disturbing about some of the rushed
confirmations
is
the willingness to overlook/ignore some character flaws or misdeeds in
some of the nominee's backgrounds because we are in such a critical
"emergency" situation economically and politically.

Didn't Obama state in his inauguration address that we will not
sacrifice
principles in the execution of of policies?

This all sounds and feels disturbingly familiar.

Perhaps congress is looking for experience FAST. They got some. Now, if
only
someone would talk Obama into asking Gates to stick around.....

I suppose we could dredge up more like Mike Brown, whose experience
running
a horse association served us so well.- Hide quoted text -

Hummm, if exerience is an issue, why the hell did you elect Obama???

=================

I didn't really vote FOR Obama. I voted AGAINST two things:

1) McCain, who's too wrapped up in trying to equal his father and
grandfather's achievements, probably using other people's kids as pawns to
achieve that end.

2) Palin, who displayed two characteristics which I find unacceptable for
high office, and I won't budge on these characteristics. Don't ask what
they
are. If you don't already know, we'll be wasting our time discussing
them.- Hide quoted text -

So, you admit that Obama has never really run anything and has no
experience that would suggest he is ready to be president? If not,
please list some of his accomplishments beyond being an inside trainer
for ACORN's voter fraud initiative?

===================

What a silly question. His history is freely available to anyone who cares
to read it. Of course he has less experience than McCain. But, he also does
not have any of McCain's strange baggage, which I believe would've led
McCain to kill more of our soldiers just to make himself feel young and
potent.

Try to avoid the predictable response. Please.
