Obama's Speech in Berlin

[30ashopper]

He's been doing it consistently throughout the campaign. It's not overdue, he just hasn't made it o photo-op, so it hasn't been reported much.

Read up on Bilderberg if you really believe that. True conservatives and libertarians do share an ideology, and it's one they have to hide from the public.

I have been listening to Obama carefully for almost two years, and though I've seen ideas evolve, I haven't seen them change. Not once. Sometimes I have seen the mainstream media report them differently or incorrectly when they are ticking off an opposing candidate's talking points, but his positions are consistent.

With that said, I was disappointed by his decison not to spend political capital on FISA, but I do understand from the DCCC point of view why it was the realpolitik thing to do.

I agree with him more than I agree with McCain -- and I believe he'll surround himself with better advisors and a better Cabinet.

Certianly a good reason to vote for him. Myself I feel I agree with McCain more on policy and trust he will stand by his word.

side note, I've never heard of the Bilderberg group, but Wikipedia seems to do a pretty good job of dispelling any weird rumors about world domination.

rapunzel,

LS,
Agree on being ashamed of your country every once in a while. This was probably my low point.

Love it that an article calling Obama The Messiah put me over the top for a second little green thing next to my name. I have no idea what they mean or how they are obtained, but I think it means sowal.com believes I am coming around as a liberal, since Mango and rapunzel have a ton of them.

It's based on number of posts, thanks, and just general rep given. Click on User CP and it will show you the last months worth of thanks and rep. We can all join together and turn those chiclets red if you'd like.

What's happened is the shrill right has tried to out-flag the left and has gone about it the wrong way. Mccain and his klan are like eunuchs at a gang bang bewildered by Obama's success abroad, trying to paint his virtues as faults. Imagine that, even before being nominated, Barack has changed the world for the better and improved race relations in this country. Oh the shame!

That's one phrase I didn't think I would be reading in the political forum, today.

So then that would be Thursdays (S/D/C night if I remember correctly).

It's summer. S/D/c could be any night of the week.

6th Gen,

Wikipedia doesn't dispute that Bilderberg exists. I think there are a lot of conspiracy theorists around it, and some of their ideas are bonkers. But, the conference happens every year with 120 of the most powerful people on the planet attending and discussing globalization.

I just think it's disingenuous for Republicans to try to pretend that they are fighting against globalization when they are active participants. They just pursue it in a way that enriches a few rather than benefits hard working people.
