Obama will be the first, and will make history....

There is an Embassy in Hanoi as well as a fair amount of commercial interests and business investments.

Certainly ,as for sweden spain ...

I wonder if it was his point, especially how it's related to Iraq

I was going to suggest that McCain should take Hillary as VP.

But McCain could pull a Foster and we would have the first female President.


On a more personal note, I am very happy that a black man can be seriously considered for President of the United States of America.

Being black and moderate, I would have preferred Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice (rawr...seksy) for a double whammy (black and female) but there you go...progress and change in action already.

[Shuckins]

McCain and Hillary on the same ticket!?     Talk about knocking the props out from under Obama's campaign...!

Good one Yknurd.  However, it might not be as far-fetched a notion as it appears at first glance.  Given the bad-blood that's developed between she and Obama (Does anyone take seriously the pleasant pleasantries she voiced about him the other night?) Hillary might seriously consider an offer from McCain.

Nah...she's a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.  The earth would crack if she did...

This country elected Jimmy Carter.

Its capable of anything.

Another option would be to simply set him up for an impeachable situation and simply take over. That's another "dirty trick" to fit the mold.

Wouldn't it funny if she gave him a couple of BJs  and cigar sessions in the Oval Office and then ratted him out.

[Brownshirt]

This country elected GWB.

Its capable of anything.

There; I fixed it for you

Ok, is he black?  is he half black?  is he half white?  is he mixed race?  african?  Is he racist? he refers to his white grandmother as a "typical white person" sounds racist to me........his mother is white, yet he claims to be black...or does he?
what the hell is barack obama after all is said and done? 

When he talks to black people he is as black as they come...he even jives....when he is talking to white people he gets straight and clean pronouncing his words with crisp calrity.......I think he is a disingenuine man at best....a deceptive racist at worst. 

[CptTrips]

OK.  Granted.

a thin majority of Americans did not re-elect George Bush nearly as much as they refused to elect John Kerry.  All things considered, the American people did the right thing.  Barely.....

[Wmaker]

I'm curious ,what presence do you have in Vietnam ?

...or in Finland for that matter...

[lazs2]

straffo.. a better question would be.. what interest did we have in vietnam in the 60's?   I think it was to stop communism from spreading.  To bankrupt our enemies.   I think that in that respect.. we got what we needed to get out of that war.

[straffo]

hmmm  was he speaking of the past or the present ?

[CAP1]

what the hell is barack obama after all is said and done? 

 

after all is said and done, he is nothing more than a good salesman. he's convincing people that he'll solve all of our woes.  he tells the black contingent that he's black. he tells the white contingent that he's half white.
 i think it's be very safe to say, that he also is a racist in the worst form. he's too good at making hour long speeches and saying absolutley nothing for the entire time. yet it seems he gets the audience hyped up. i think i may be for the first time in my life embarrassed about my country. and here last weekend i was on a high at the air show bragging to my german friend how we are the THE best place in the world. now we're gonna get a muslim president? i truely am scared now, unless i'm missing something. unfortunatly, i think i'm not.

[bongaroo]

Of course you have a choice.

Barr is running as a Libertarian, Chuck Baldwin is running under the Constitutional Party and you can always write in Paul or Kucinich.

When do we decide that we're mad as hell and we're not going to take this crap anymore? When do we stop voting against someone and start voting FOR someone that represents our views? When do we finally show these two corrupt, worthless national parties that we demand better?

[/rant]

It would be nice wouldn't it.  This is probably already being discussed in another thread though.
