Exactly, Repuplicans, what do they have to do with this administration. Like I said "scare tactics" from the right. Don't forget to get back on your rocker.

I have heard him interviewed many times and he is an environmental whack-0. He is in favor of $10 a gallon gasoline to weed people off of fossil fuels. He wants to outlaw all SUVs and all pick-ups, and mandate 40mpg on all new cars.Quote:

He opposes all new oil drilling everywhere, he opposes nuclear power, he opposes clean coal, he is a huge advocate of wind power except when it is in his backyard of Nantucket Sound.
You still don't get it!Quote:

So you have Democrats leaking these names, and you characterize them as "scary" thinking they are coming from Republican sources! :lol: That is priceless!!
Fox news is the one who made the comment about Oprah being able to buy any position she wanted and the rest of the list certainly seems to be a who's who of rich and famous, full of flash and cash, but short on substance. As far as Caroline Kennedy (whom I've met by the way, and she seems to be a very sweet person) You've got to be kidding. Now granted she does have a very nice pedigree and education at the *right* schools to please the limousine liberal factor, but she has zero experience. A lightweight like Obama might serve his adoring subjects better by hiring someone with actual experience in areas where he has none. Especially as Russian Pres. Medvedev welcomes him by deploying nukes on the NATO border.Quote:

Well, yes; Bush is still President, but it's not an accident those missiles were positioned when they were. They're surface to surface missiles that are capable of carrying a nuclear payload--but I guess you think Medvedev or Putin would let us inspect them before deploying?Quote:

It's nice to know that the Russians think the next leader of the free world is a lightweight. Hence, my feeling that annointing a Kennedy society matron as Ambassador to the U.N. probably isn't a real good idea. But, that's just my little ole opinion.Quote:
Ordinary Russians were sneering about the entire election, which was characterized in the frequently chauvinistic popular media as a contest between a senile grandfather and a black man of dubious credentials and intellect. American voters were portrayed as "popcorn and hamburger eating idiots" by one newspaper.
Several tabloids incorrectly reported that the main message of Mr Obama's final campaign speech was a call on young African Americans not to let their underpants show above the waistline of the jeans.
Here's the whole article, if you care to read it.

While President-elect Obama may be a lightweight to some, it is worth pointing out that 52% of those that voted found him to be the superior lightweight when compared to all other options presented.Quote:

Russia was going to deploy those missles on the Polish border regardless of who was elected. It is not a big deal, it was an expectation.
Take Care Regards,

Naaa, I think it's better if we all whip ourselves into a frenzy and hit the panic button.Quote:
