Hey Misty,
Why don’t you say the country is going in the “left” direction and as for your comment on an email being linked (since when did der Speigel become a trustworthy rag), please tell your opinion to Maliki

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/07/19/almaliki.obama/

as for Europe liking us, they started disliking us right after we rebuilt their arses after WWII. Look at the right ward shift in European governments, why? because immigrants and open door policies have destroyed their wonderful little socialist experiment. Just ask any Swede what they think of their open door policy. Oh, retire05 don’t let the punk get under your skin, we all realize his little pedant tactic, rather disingenuous.

End the war? Hate Bush? Boy, have I been reading all those anti-Obama posts the wrong way…

Seriously, why aren’t the Taliban all dead by now? And does Ortega really want Nicaragua to continue as a democracy? (Morales needs Venezula more than us, until Chavez falls anyway.) You are quite right about the Saudi and Gulf State leaders not wanting to start a war with us, as it is too profitable to suck our dollars from us. However, this does not mean that the average citizen feels that way; only heavy social spending is keeping their anger in check. (Could this be another factor in these bastards not wanting to pump more oil?) The Arab Street would start a war if given a chance; that is why we support their leaders keeping them in political oppression.

It is possible to argue that Anti-Americanism in Europe has existed going back to the very founding of our nation, yet why is it necessary to defend the good old USA in Asia and Africa? These should be our natural allies! I expect such BS from Canadians wanting to prove their national identity, and from Europeans eager to create one. There are so many missed opportunities here to spread our influence, that it sickens me…

Whatever, say whatever you want, you know that I would love to sit down and have a drink with you some day. I knew it was a matter of time before you came out swinging at me, and I thank you for replying in a challenging, yet thoughtful manner. Its the highlight of reading your blog!

Tell the rest of the world to go pound salt. If they don’t want our dollars for their goods, or our goods and services, they can do without. Sometimes you, and they, cannot get everything you want. You can have the cookie or you can complain that Gramma smells funny, but not both.

Other than that, I don’t know what all the questioning is about. Obama is a modern liberal, irretrievably believing in his own intellectual and moral superiority over everybody. He thinks he can talk absolutely everybody into absolutely anything because he is absolutely right about absolutely everything. The first time he comes up against the real world instead of his delusional alternate universe, though, is the first time the US will find itself with a problem. It will be very early in his Presidency, and there will undoubtedly be more, and often, though the degree of damage can only be imagined.

Misty, so the White House emailed a Reuters story that originated with the German publication in Der Spiegel and you find that odd? Emailed it to who? You give such little information so one can only assume that you did it intentionally to taint the story. Hell, it’s all over. So what?

I will also tell you that when Reuter’s picked up the Der Spiegel story they reported on the English version which left out a couple of important statements by Maliki.

Obama can say that the Bush administration is moving closer to his own Iraq/Afghanistan policies, but that is spin. Pure and simple. There is a reason we are turning over province after province to the Iraqis (the lastest one just this week). As the Iraqis assume more and more responsibility for the security of their nation, we are needed less in certain areas.

But don’t let the facts of our turning over the provinces to the Iraqis, as planned by this administration and command on the ground, stop your attempt at spin.

I don’t think Obama is going to toady the Europeans. Obama strikes me as just a bit ruthless. It’s one of the reasons I’ve supported him. He’ll do what he has to do to get re-elected and to ensure his place in history. If that means getting along with the Europeans, he’ll do that. If it means smacking the Europeans around, he’ll do that.

This is why you’re all failing to really hurt Obama. He’s not a naif. He’s not corrupt. He’s not a radical. He’s not weak. And accusing him of being a narcissist — really? A presidential candidate who thinks he’s just half a step short of being Jesus? What a shock that would be.

Obama is smart, cool and tough. It’s why your joke contest will fall flat, and why your party’s attacks on him don’t gain traction: he’s none of the things you think he is. He’s not Carter. He’s not Clinton. And he’s not JFK. He’s Bobby Kennedy.

You can’t make this stuff up. LoL

White House Accidentally E-Mails Story On Iraqi PM Backing Obama Withdrawal Plan To Reporters

The White House employee had intended to send the article to an internal distribution list, ABC News’ Martha Raddatz reports, but hit the wrong button.

The misfire comes at an odd time for Bush foreign policy, at a time when Obama’s campaign alleges the president is moving closer toward Obama’s recommendations about international relations — sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, discussing a “general time horizon” for U.S. troop withdrawal and launching talks with Iran.- Link
