I also admire the man Jimmy Carter became and I thought his speech was stirring. Assuming you're watching, how about Obama? Wow!

I feel your pain Hessian - George Bush disgusts me every time he opens his mouth.
I think he is a current State Senator from Ohio running for the US Senate, which BTW is a currently unopposed campiagn due to that clown that wanted his wife to perform sex acts in publc.Originally posted by crabcake
WhoTF is Obama? I only caught some foriegn-speakin' chic in a red suit contradicting herself when she said her husband wouldn't trade America's sons and daughters for oil, then said this wonderful spectacle of soldiering earned his medals the old-fashioned way ... in Viet Nam of all places. Yea, cause that wasn't a controversial war at all or nuthin'.

I am completely convinced that I listened to a future president speak last night when Barack Obama gave his speech. It was outstanding and whenever he decides to run, I'll jump right on his ship.

Right story, wrong state. You would think that there is one person that would step forward to run.Originally posted by SamSpade
He's running for the Senate in Illinois, for the office that Jack Ryan at one point was favored to get. Sucks, huh?

I could visualize a heated debate between Mike and the man from Massachusetts, helmets would become mandatory garb.Originally posted by SamSpade
I'm disappointed that Ditka backed down, but it's possible someone like Ditka wouldn't work well in Washington.

To me, it sounded like a whole bunch of Democrats trying to shy away from the "liberal" label. Obama, Osama...whatever his name is.....tried to convince everyone that "...shucks....we just plain ole moderate Democrats....not liberals....not conservatives...the UNITED States of America...."
Don't buy it for a minute......the Kerry ticket is the most liberal in recent memory no matter who trys to tell you differently.
Sounded just like a snake oil salesman......
Failed to gain allies? We had allies, we had the decision of UN Security Council giving Iraq a last chance and they failed to comply, and he had the authorization of the Congress of the United States. Should he have waited until an attack was conducted on our homeland prior to acting? I don’t think so.Originally posted by rraley
President Bush is a good man; one who deserves respect for his immediate leadership after 9/11 and his ability to decide that Saddam Hussein had to be removed from power. But we have to realize that he failed to gain allies in the war in Iraq because he sought to attack too soon. This decision to ignore the rest of the world has caused the goodwill of the world after 9/11 to descend into hatred and opposition. His Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld failed to make correct war preparations from the troop level to the sort of units used in combat. He has caused foreign leaders to oppose us so much that there is no way that the burden in Iraq could be shared with the world community. Some must wonder now if our former allies and other nations are giving us all the information they have concerning terrorists. The war on terror is not an American endeavor; it is a worldwide one that must involve the intelligence agencies across the world. Having such disregard for other nations, as the Bush administration has, has hurt us with our allies and could endanger the execution of the War on Terror. On top of Iraq, we have lost 1.8 million jobs and while there has been recent job creation, wages continue to stay below the rate of inflation and new jobs are not as high-paying and benefit rich as past ones. Our long-term economic prospects, meanwhile, are degrading because of a $500 billion deficit.
