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.
You could have voted for a third party candidate. You know somebody
who
really reflects your views.

And throw away what might've been a slim margin, thereby ending up
with
the wrong person in the White House? Not a chance.

You have no principles.

Neither does a political party that cares so little about America that
it
would permit itself to be represented by George W. Bush or Sarah Palin.-

There you go again, straying off the subject when asked to answer a
question. We have answered several for you this morning, with names
and sources, you have not managed to answer even one simple qestion..
Just the same old twisted justifications and non-answers... Though you
would have learned by now.. later...

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

They've all been answered. But, the answers were not simple enough for you
to understand.- Hide quoted text -

You didn't answer what you consider "grown up news", you didn't give a
list or detractors beyond "I have a list in my car" what could be more
simple?

NPR and BBC, mentioned earlier.- Hide quoted text -

So, you only listen to left wing news, explains a lot really.
