Obama Team Names Emissaries to G-20
November 12, 2008 1:58 PM
Former Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, a previous chairman of the House Banking and Financial Services Committee and a leader of "Republicans for Obama," and former Clinton administration Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will meet with international delegations to the G-20 summit on behalf of President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden.
Why won't Obama himself attend?
“There is one president at a time in the United States," says Obama Senior Foreign Policy Advisor Denis McDonough.

"America only has one government at a time." We can still endure the last two months of Bush's hell. Can't for January 2009 when America will be back to normal. Yippi!

And, make sure General War-Criminal Colin Powell to sell another unnecessary war against humanity.

Sorry because this time its Obama the commander in chief and not Bush and Chenney who love to wage unnecessary wars.
Obama the honest will set a good agenda for the sec of state.

I betya Gen. Colin Powell will be as eager to sell the War against the 5% filthy Rich bourgeoisie worms of our Greatest Society as he did against Iraq.
The "honorable" Greatest Leader has lots of debts he needs to fulfill, Urban voters, ACCORN, moveon.com, Pelosi, UAW, ... He needs a war to get the money he needs.

Can't you people be positive for a change? IF he sent nobody, you would still complain.

Obama is so two-faced. If he's not president yet and he SAYS he can't act as president yet, then don't be appointing people to act as president on your behalf.
I cannot WAIT until January just to get all this nonsense taken care of. Then he can govern, badly or well, and life can go on. As it is, his inflated ego is in the way of just about everything.

Obama is still in his President 101 class, he has to gather everyone he knows to teach him right now. He isn't president yet.

I don't know why you all are worried about Bush & Cheney. The great Obama, the Saviour of America, will perform miracles when he is inaugurated in January. Then everything will be just fine (NOT)

"Leo Donofrio's new lawsuit in the Supreme Court challenges the Secretary of the State of New Jersey, saying that she did not fully vet all of the candidates on the ballot. Could this finally get the attention of the MSM?"
ROFLMAO.
This may be the last clue to Vince Foster!

I am from Iowa and a Democrat. I like Jim Leach. Good for Obama for crossing over the lines and going to the best qualified. Now Obama, please take Colin Powell for Secretary of Defense.
Posted by: becky (the real one) | Nov 12, 2008 2:13:56 PM
Obama is right not to attend. It would make Bush look bad.
As if Bush has been so incompetent that Obama needs to take over right away.
