More than the lack of logical commentary that is riddled with racist undertone, what is disturbing is that so much of it comes from women! How come so many American women are filled with such racial anger? Very disturbing...

I see the Obama kool-aid drinkers are out in full force tonight. Anything that Obama says is 100% correct and anyone who questions him is a racist! Obama is weak just like Jimmy Carter was with Iran and the hostage situation. No I don't agree with Bush on the Iraq War, but I do not agree with Obama and his approach to negotiating with terrorist groups. Obama can lie his way out of this again like he does when he gets heat--he did say he would negotiate with terrorist groups in several debates and on some news programs. His tactics of turning the tables around by attacking others when he is questioned on an issue shows he has weak leadership qualities! He attacks others rather than taking a stand and answering the question.

Not to be silly and rain on the parade of fundamentalists, but...

Why do you have to be an Obama supporter to believe in talking to Iran? Obama is right--we have ALWAYS talked to other nations, even those diametrically opposed to us politically. Keeping communications channels open makes it easier to avoid accidents, it keeps insurgencies from turning into nuclear war, etc.

Bush is not conservative--he is a fundamentalist and sees things only in black and white. That's dangerous because it means he assumes anyone not agreeing with him wholly is wrong/evil and fails to take into account other perspectives.

War is politics by other means. Politics is about discussion/agreement on how to divide resources of all sorts.

...but fundamentalists don't want to hear that--they just want to insult the other side. How many posts are there that refer to Obama, McCain, or Bush by name rather than degrading 'nicknames'?

Exactly.

Look Virginia don't slander the Tufts name by using it to legitimize your views. The vast majority of Tufts students know the truth about Obama and not the lies you're peddling here.

America-First is the reason I'm thinking of moving out of this country if a Republican is elected again.(S)he
scares me with their power to vote without really looking into more than the network news, tabloid headlines, and Fox News.

Russia and China did not attack us. To date, neither have Iran or North Korea. And please,let's remember who trained and armed these extremists who now hate us. If we want America to be first again, we have to start acting like the leaders we can be. Otherwise the screen name will have to be America-32nd (as we are in education and health care).

From what I've seen out of Obama over the past year, all he is good for is talk...it's not a surprise that his foreign policy would be based on the same. Specifics please Mr. Obama!

What about the difference between cold war and a shooting war doesn't Mr. Obama understand???

vancav,

Obama has advocated a much more aggressive policy in Afghanistan. He has obviously aggressively pushed for extracting ourselves from the stupidity of Iraq. The Iranian leadership and military love the fact that we are tied up in Iraq. The more we are occupied there, the less we can turn our attention to them and potentially punish them for digressions and the more they can essentially wage a proxy war against us by supporting Shiite militias. Vancav, you seem reasonably well-informed. Take a quick look at the other folks in this thread who are "on your side". Choose your friends carefully -- a significant percentage of them at this point seem barely literate.

Love your country the right way!!!
Obama 2008!!!

With due respect to Senator Obama, he should study his history a bit more before making comments about effective diplomacy. The three leaders and their respected countries did not have direct American blood on their hands. Americans forget to quickly that we lost close to 3000 patriots on 9/11. One can also argue that the real reason we went into Iraq was to draw these terrorists across the globe and let our bravest men and women fight them on their own soil rather than ours.
I rest my case.

Listen up, folks. Iran had precisely nothing to do with 9-11. Talking to Iran is not talking to someone with American blood on their hands.

Okay so now Obama wants people to think he's JKF? By accusing others of having a problem with JFK doesn't make you JFK. He gets more ridiculous every time he speaks.

o and one more thing...acting "tough" and threatening to people who aren't afraid to die DOES NOT WORK. it just increases the tension between governments, while the people of both nations just want to live and feed thier kids. but hey, logic has nothing to do with macho posing. i see the same thing on animal planet every night. MCCAIN '08 AMERICA FIRST...OVER THE CLIFF!

Turns out that Rev. Wright was RIGHT! Obama will say whatever it takes, he is a politician after all! Foolish me I had hoped he was honest, oh well what can you expect just another inexperienced know it all who really knows nothing at all. He is so sure that he is smart wonder where that comes from I don't hear anything smart, just smart ass and biased and arrogant. Please save me from this one more knows what better for use than the rest of the country does;

I'm from Cambridge MA and I knew JFK; Senator Barack Obama you are a JFK. You are young, inspirational, have a Vision for America, appeal to the Youth and exude Hope and Progress as did JFK. Bush /McCain have a problem; neither are Public Servant material.

It is simple: once you start communicating the truth may come out…
Scary thought for some….

Mentioning JFK today serves two purposes:

a) Capitalize on the headlines that Ted Kennedy was hospitalized and some people may be emotional about it. Especially, lets play with the emotions of Oregonians who haven't sent their ballots yet.

b) Divert the attention from the big loss that he is facing in Kentucky. BTW, while we blog here, he is running an ad in Kentucky saying that he will lose b/c of Fox news and the fact that he doesn't have time to campaign there. Why is he campaigning now in Michigan and Florida then when he doesn't even want them to be counted? Why isn't Kentucky? Can any of the Obama technicians please explain... Oh, is Fox News fault... So, did he win all those red state caucuses that put him in the pledged delegate lead because of CNN and the rest of the liberal media?

How about Hillary winning all the battleground states with the media all across the political spectrum against her?

There are millions of Democrats, myself included and friends, who are getting physically sick at the choice between this idiot Obama, his dangerous clique and his incomprehensibly anti-American, anti-Western minions and McCain and the Republicans. We ask each other, how can we vote for a Republican president. But then, at the end of the day, if Obama is the nominee we will vote Republican and join the millions who will flee to McCain. We can do it, and it could work with a solidly Democratic Congress. In the best of all worlds a third party will emerge in four years and it will be the authentic voice of the American people.

Why don't all you "patriots" who are dogging Obama come out and state your true objections? Could it be that racism isn't cool?
