  People are far more worried about the economy than they are the number of Obama’s advisors. When the Democratic congress tried to pass laws to bring relief at the pumps and to punish the greed big wig oil companies, Obstructionist republics stopped them. The citizens will remember this obstructionism of the Republic party than they will the number of Obama’s advisors.

  Wow MS - way off the point of the article, but typical Lib talking points.

  OBama Vs. Iran

  You can wake up now. Sorry to frighten you so, but this nightmare has not happened yet…..Just remember, Smokey The Ballot Box says “Only you can prevent an Obama Nightmare.”

  Kahn,

  Priceless!

  Mags,

  Kudos for working in obstructionist, and big oil, you’re two favorite obsessive talking points.

  In fact I have noticed you have approximately four main propaganda points in all of your posts, so from now on, you can simply post a #1, #2, #3, and/or #4. And they can be used interchangeably, this should save you time and all of us a headache from your stupidity.

  So why is this a bad thing? There are currently over six billion people living in 194 countries outside of the United States. We are the world’s only super power. It makes sense that a potential leader of our country would want the help of as many experts on other countries as possible. Don’t you want our leaders to have as much information available to them before they make decisions?

  It’s pretty rich to see the trogs here repeatedly imply that Obama has no foreign policy experience - this from the very same trogs who enthusiastically supported Bush’s run in 2000… who in fact had no foreign policy experience on his resume.

  What foreign policy knowledge did Mr Bush bring in 2000? Unlike a US Senator, he’d held exactly zero positions that had to do with foreign policy. Prior to the 2000 election, his only travel outside the US was a vacation trip to Mexico, making him by far the least traveled presidential candidate in modern history. He famously couldn’t name the president of Pakistan, among other basic foreign policy questions in an 2000 interview. He pretty much wore his ignorance of the world as some kind of badge of honor.

  Barack Obama, meanwhile, degreed in foreign relations at Columbia, one the nation’s pre-eminent programs in foreign affairs. He has traveled extensively, and his time living abroad has given him intimate and unique insight into foreign cultures. He has served for the past 4 years on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, as well as the Senate committee for Homeland Security. In these official capacities, he has traveled to Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia and Chad. (It is doubtful Mr Bush could have found any of these countries on a map). He is soon to travel to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel with decorated veterans Republican Chuck Hagel and Sen Jack Reed, both of whom have extensive experience in the region.

  And yes, Obama has assembled a stellar cast of expert foreign policy advisors, headed by Dr Susan Rice. The expertise of his foreign policy team is unrivaled. I would hold his team up to Mr McCain’s any day. And yet, you make that something to ridicule? I guess the simplistic approach of McCain and Bush, based mostly on gut convictions and a bomb-first “with us or against us” mentality, doesn’t really require much expert advice beyond having Cheney and Rummy whisper in your ear.

  How is it that you deem Mr McCain, who still doesn’t seem to know the difference between Sunni and Shi’a, and who still refers to countries that don’t exist anymore, somehow so much more qualified in foreign policy than Barack Obama? And what of Mr Bush, who still embarrassingly massacres the pronunciation of world leaders’ names, who was pushed into the worst foreign policy blunder of our generation by Dickie and Rummy, and who once foolishly stated he trusted Putin because he stared into his eyes and could see his soul? How are either McCain in 2008 or Mr Bush in 2000 so much more qualified on foreign policy issues?

  Barak Hussein Obama needs 300 domestic advisors. Maybe one of them could tell him that the US does not have 57 states.

• 12. Nietzsche-Is-Pietzsche  |  July 18th, 2008 at 8:16 pm

  When it comes to Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan seems like Bush/McCain are taking Obama’s lead. Foreign policy experience, game, set, match, OBAMA.

  Oh the irony….. LMAO!!!!!

  Barack Obama’s 300 Spartans (Advisors)?

  It seems that you claim to be truthful and advocate CHANGE, and yet you enlist 300 soldiers, (advisors) to give advice on “as the world turns”, is quite alarming. If you sir, need 300 paid advisors to help you make a decision then you have not done your homework. You have managed to create your own independent congress of people that are burning thru your $5.00 internet donations like sand thru an hour glass. It alarms me that if THEY decide to place you in that office, your staff would double?

  If your 300 were like the Spartans and lead by a leader like King Leonidas , of which you are not, then your 300 advisors are justified.

  But in this case they are not.

  You wish to be the President of the United States of America, and yet you still lie, you hire an outrageous staff of succubus’s that have their own interests, you do not attend to the poor, you are too concerned with keywords and false policy that fool those that really want CHANGE, you cannot stroll thru an American neighborhood unless you have your SS officers with you, not allowing Americans to protect you, you are so concerned that you will say the wrong thing, because you are not allowed to speak your own words, you have taken from the American people their hard earned $5.00 and given them nothing in return, you have no idea how big and deep the rabbit hole is that you have started to go down. The 300 Spartans defended their freedom and their Homeland, and you sir, are defending those that wish to rape the land and enslave Americans like Xeres attempted to do.

  You are making policy on the run, without regard to the outcome, and we Americans will suffer for your mistakes and blunders.

  These next four years will be yours, but the next four years after that will be for the American People.

  CHANGE FOR AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!
  The American Republic
  A Sovereign Republic
