An American Viewpoint.
The primary complaint about Barrack is that he doesn't have much foreign policy experience. The purpose of this trip was to demonstrate that he is capable of getting along with, and more importantly, working with Europe. The fact that he's a Democrate is beside the point. Many of us feel that he will be able to help us get past the notion that we must argue with someone if they're not a member of our particular little club. Under Barrack, maybe we'll be able to work together more and argue less. That would be better for everyone in my country, as well as everyone who associates with us.
do americans care what the republicans bloviate about obama?
as a 55 year old gardener, i think americans are seeing through the republican bloviator machine, and not caring a whit about mccain and the machine press supporting the lies that have put the environment, economy, and constitution in crisis, american families and their homes at severe risk, stressed out world cooperation, and lost themselves in covering each other's ass- so they don't become war crimes defendants.
the present president, along with at least 5 of his secretaries and neocon supporters are seriously in danger of being just that. i never bought into the republican 'save the unborn from abortion so we can send them to war at 18' argument. men who think they need to control women's lives are just wrong in their thinking, no matter what faith they beleive in.
we seriously need to see congress go after the war's criminal behavior, after sending over 4000 coalition soldiers to their death, as well as the untold number of afganis, iraqis, and other moslems caught in america's tainted crosswires. why are we not seeing that story in the news? are their families not worthy?
but will obama go after war criminals? don't bet the farm on it. nancy pelosi has done nothing for two years to protect the constitution, by not allowing impeachment proceedings to bring sunshine to this execrable mess.
i want the press to follow the money, tell the story as to who has made out like the bandits they truly are, stealing from the american taxpayer, e.g. the faulty wiring scandalously injuring troops, blackwater acting extraconstitutionally murdering on foreign soil, or the story about what the hell monsanto is doing to the world's farmer family. why are corporations like this still in existence? follow the money- tell us the truth, and protect human rights wherever in the world you are.
is obama the answer to this crisis? i will vote for him, even though i don't like how the machine is overmaking him religiously now to get the "center" vote, even though i can't get the campaign to answer me about the scientific american cover article on solar to see his energy plan. i think it's marvelous an american can get an audience at all in europe, we don't deserve their respect after what we have done extraconstitutionally.
U.S. "Superstar" Politicians?
I don't think American voters--especially conservatives--should have any problem with Obama's "superstar" status. This is a country that elected Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger to higher office, all of whom, are or were celebrities and, exception of Ventura, REPUBLICANS.
The world is watching
Not only US Democrats but the entire world is praying that Mr. Barack Obama will win in US elections, hoping that he is true to his words of pulling out US troops in Iraq. War is not the answer,in any language.
