Obama is  taking the middle route rather than taking any really meaningful stand, thereby allowing america to stay prettymuch the same as it was, but he's black so all americans should feel good for themselves because every single american voted him in, and all the crimes and history of the slavetrade is forgiven BIG HUGS ALL ROUND.

Didn't Ralph Nader warn people that Obama will be an uncle tom to big business, or was that someone else???

He won the Nobel prize because ever since the people in charge missed out on Gandhi they wanna give as many important people as possible the prize so they don't miss out on them either. you know, "just in case they do something that deserves it but die before we can give it to them"
he 'won' the nobel peace prize 'for effort' so that there would be pressure for him to start any wars in the future. the most embarrassing thing i have had seen for awhile

Despite all the criticism, is he atleast the best we got? Or should someone else be running things? One of the reason I'm so thankful to have Obama in the office is because he's a very calm, cool, and pragmatic leader. He takes bold action, but never in a rash way. He'll think it through, exhaust every possibility, and move on with what he thinks is the right move. He'll go against his party's ideologies, if he needs to to do what he believes is right.

We all sent him to the white house, and put an immense amount of our trust and hope in him. By just doing that, we should have at least some faith that he'll do the right thing, to the best of his abilities. To the best, of his abilities
holy shit get out of here with that sophistry GET OUT. you are really clueless and immersed of his promotion bullshit

staying in afganistan/iraq until there's no more fighting is winning the war not stopping it, btw.

i don't know what's going on with health insurance, making it mandatory increases demand not supply which increases the price consumers can and will pay and smug economic breakdowns. keeping the providers private also contributes to the major cause of america being weird as hell and that's MASSIVE CORPORATE PUPPET MASTERS

the economy would've gotten better anyway and iirc the bailouts were issued before his inauguration.
yeah judging from what i have seen it looks like this is ironically only solidifying private sector's position and WEELP good luck my american friends good luck. can never win corporates.

also Afura
On a serious note: Something tells me that none of you actually have the political mind to properly understand his reasons for doing this stuff or the time in which he should be able to follow through his promises.
really man. of course we can only speculate about his big plans right now BUT you can't deny that regardless of what interests are ripping him from side to another he should be able to be more firm on issues but instead he's just trying to stay in the middle of the road more than necessary to look GOOD i suppose. the increase of units in middle-east is a status quo and more importantly you can't play HEH POLITICAL MINDGAMES with the reform when you are changing the whole premise of the reform to private sector's favour. this isn't really that complex to understand!

I've read somewhere that the reason Obama will be able to keep insurance companies keep their premiums low is because he holds a golden hammer over Insurance CEOs: the threat to pass a public option via reconciliation after the bill has passed IF the insurance companies don't keep their premiums low.

I feel her SHOULD invoke this policy, not for the ENTIRE bill (since a lot of it doesn't directly affect revenue of the government and thus reconciliation isn't applicable), but AFTER it passes purely on the public option (government run so of course affects the finances of the government).

I'm wondering if this idea is being kept behind close doors, he does after all always have the power to do this, and the votes for it too.

I don't get it though, why would the US want to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely? What do we have to gain from it? Being there is just costing us more money ($1,000,000 per soldier per year), more lives, and is in the end an unpopular war overall. But, if we just happen to pull out right now, wouldn't Al Qaeda regain more power, and just continue on where they left of? And shouldn't we bring out this force to finish them off once and for all (a very tough objective I know, but there isn't a good alternative).

read articles dietcoke posted last page

learn.

learn is good.

see: iran, russia; turkmenistan, afghanistan, pakistan, india pipeline


scary article in times today. extremism growing amongst iranian political factions due to political turmoil.

In August 2001, U.S. State Department official Christina Rocca met with the Taliban, at their last negotiation over U.S. energy giant Unocal's planned oil and gas pipeline through Afghanistan. She said, "Accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs."[68][69][70][71][72]

[/b]"Accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs."[/b]

any noted that of the 19 men who hijacked planes on September 11, none were Afghans (fifteen of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon).[74] None lived in Afghanistan (they lived in Hamburg). None trained in Afghanistan (they trained in Florida). None went to flight school in Afghanistan (that training occured in Minnesota).[75]

all from wiki but still holy shit hahahaha
