Dear Friend,

During his recent speech in Berlin, Barack Obama tried to ingratiate himself to the foreign crowd by claiming loudly that he was “a citizen of the world.”


The problem is Obama’s self-proclaimed global “citizenship” appears to go well beyond just a rhetorical device to gain favor with a European throng full of pie-in-the-sky utopians.


It seems the Democrats’ would-be president of the United States of America really believes that the rest of the world’s problems, and approval, trump the interests of Americans when it comes to how we live our lives and where our money is spent.


While stumping for the support of his party’s leftist base, Obama proclaimed, "we can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."


And now he’s putting your money where his mouth is.


A bill he has sponsored in the U.S. Senate, the so-called Global Poverty Act
(S. 2433), would raise the amount of American tax dollars allocated to United Nations’ redistribution efforts to $845 billion.


That’s $2,500 from every American taxpayer, when many in our country already are struggling to make ends meet.


And if you think taxes and energy costs are high now, wait until Obama’s global energy and production taxes are made law by the Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid-run Democrat Congress.


Is this what Pelosi meant when she said, “I’m trying to save the planet!  I’m trying to save the planet!”?


Senator Obama and the Democrats don’t seem to understand that American prosperity is a result of the hard work of American citizens in a free market economy.  And that the American people already are the most generous in the world when it comes to global aid.


Help us show Barack Obama that Americans don’t need foreign approval to lead their lives as they see fit, and that he ought to remember that he is running for president of the United States, not the United Nations.


Please make a secure online contribution of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 today to provide Republican candidates with the resources they urgently need to tell voters about the Obama Democrats’ plans for America.


The future of an America whose government makes its own citizens its first priority may depend on it.


Sincerely,




Robert M. "Mike" Duncan
Chairman, Republican National Committee


P.S. Friend, powerful leftist forces will spend whatever it takes to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket to impose their radical utopian agenda on America.  Help us make sure they don’t succeed by making a secure online campaign contribution of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the RNC today.  Thank you.

Obama for President????
CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?



This is very interesting and we all need to read it

from start to Finish and send it on to anyone who will read it. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American?

This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:



Theologically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is

to Allah, The moon God of Arabia



Religiously - no. . . Because no other religion is

accepted by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)



Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to

the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.



Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to

Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.



Socially - no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam

forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews ..



Politically - no. . . Because he must submit to the

mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of

Israel and destruction of America , the great Satan.




Domestically - no. . . Because he is instructed to

marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she

disobeys him (Quran 4:34)



Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the

American Constitution since it is based on Biblical

principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.



Philosophically - no. . . Because Islam, Muhammad,

and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and

expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every

Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.



Spiritually - no. . . Because when we declare

'one nation under God,' the Christian's God is

loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as

Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The

Quran's 99 excellent names.



Therefore, after much study and deliberation....



Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS

in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both

'good' Muslims and good Americans.



Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You

had better believe it. The more who understand this, the

better it will be for our country and our future. The

religious war is bigger than we know or understand. .. ....



And Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our

President? You have GOT to be kidding! Wake up America !



Obama even says if he wins the election, he will be

sworn in on the Quran---not a Bible!


Footnote: He was sworn in on the Quran for his

current office and he refuses to pledge allegiance to the

United States or put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played! The Muslims have said they will

destroy us from within. Hello! Having a Muslim president

would seem to fit the bill! Will you trust this man with

our national secrets?




SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.




THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.

Obama for president?

Bill Ayers and Barrack Obama: Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.


THE AYERS/OBAMA TIMELINE:



1987 William Ayers meets Barack Obama

1988 Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money for Obama's Harvard law School education

1989 Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers' wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.

1993 Ayers places Obama on Woods Foundation

1995 Ayers makes Obama Chairman of Annenberg Challenge

1995 Ayers hosts a coffee klatch for Obama's political debut (Obama falsely claims this is when he met Ayers)


 


Raila Odinga and Barrack Obama: Odinga claims to be Obama's 1st cousin although the Obama campaign denies this. Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a 'close personal friendship' with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi: Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's ‘stooge.’ When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire


Clearly, Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. More importantly, Obama campaigned for a candidate who had the stated objective of dismantling US & Kenyan government efforts to root out AL Queda and other terrorist organizations. Organizations that had already caused the deaths of hundreds of Americans and Africans in embassy bombings. Senator Obama’s actions—intentional or not—were in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of US national security. I think this raises serious questions about the judgment, maturity and readiness of Senator Obama.


Reverend Wright and Barrack Obama: Obama met Wright when he moved to Chicago after college. Here is a quote from Obama, "And that's where I met Rev. Wright and started going to Trinity United Church of Christ and he helped me on another journey and introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. And I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things that I was too weak to accomplish myself, maybe he could accomplish them for me if I placed my trust in him. And I learned that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when they believe in him and they come together and are guided by him." And yet another quote from Obama...."And then I've got to give a special shout out to my Pastor. The guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He's a friend and a great leader not just in Chicago but all across the country, so please everybody give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., Trinity United Church of Christ." First of all, for all you people screaming about Sarah Palin being a nut job Christian and praying for our country......what do you have to say about Obama and finding Jesus Christ? Talk about a double standard there. Furthermore, this goes to show that Obama was close to Rev. Wright and his claim that he had no idea about Wright's views are just untrue. You cannot attend a church for 20 years and seek counsel from a man and not know what that man stands for.....pure hatred and racism. Barrack Obama also refused to denounce Rev. Wright stating that he could no sooner denounce a family member. However, as Rev. Wright continued to spew out hatred from his mouth.....in Obama's best political interest...he threw his mentor and pastor of 20 years under the bus to try and save his career.


These are just three associations of Barrack Obama. This doesn't include Rezko and the monies given to Obama's campaign and the help he received in buying his house at a substantial lower price. This doesn't include Obama's association with ACORN and the fact that Obama himself trained ACORN members in Chicago.


ARE YOU PEOPLE FRIGGIN BLIND? WAKE UP!


NOBAMA!!!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
WHOO HOO.  I am voting for Obama.  I am ready for CHANGE!  and I really think he is going to win!!!!
Obama for president??????????????
I don't think so.  Hitler wanted a change also.  See what happened.  He is a socialist and a communist and NEVER, EVER WILL HAVE MY VOTE
Obama, your new president
Obama is over 50 percent in the polls.  He is beating McCain.  Not to mention that he is significantly leading in a lot of republican states.  So, if he is so bad... why is he doing so well?  Looks like we are gonna win! 
President Obama
So many cowards post here and just change the IDs, names or whatever they decide who they want to be when you are just one person. Maybe some agree with the negativity, but the USA has spoken. Deal with it. The man will be in the White House four years, and hopefully, eight altogether. Were people busy focusing on holding GWB accountable even if he had an excuse for a fart? Did you want to know why he farted? No. He did whatever he wanted to, and now this country has to pay for it with the trillions of dollars deficit. Cmon people get real. Obama is greatness, and he is only a man and not God. Too many people expect miracles that only Jesus Christ himself can perform. Why not trust and believe in God that Obama is going to do his best to run this country to the best of his ability, with the help of the brilliant people he has surrounded himself with. The man is well educated and smart, and he has skills. It is so awesome to think that finally, just finally a black man gets to run the White House instead of build the White House. It just really makes me proud of my country that we have come this far. But, it is obvious by these posts that we have a long way to go. Just imagine, God allowed this to happen, and I think that is really, really special. This is what Michelle meant when she said what she said some months ago. You have to know where she came from and what she has been through to say what she said. I just feel so proud to be an American, and that someone that looks like me has finally made a difference in all walks of life. So many people are in denial of being racist, and make all kinds of excuses when they are accused. So many people don't realize it. Don't look at the stereotypes portrayed on the tube. Its just entertainment folks, as evidenced by President Obama and other smart individuals.
President Obama

But the point is, President Obama made a promise to the American people and he needs to do his best to keep it.  Otherwise he did not mean what he said, was only saying something to get elected.  Our President needs to put the American people first.  He made the promise to help American workers have jobs here in America.  I heard him say it. 

President Obama

But the point is, President Obama made a promise to the American people and he needs to do his best to keep it, to change all the offshoring.  Otherwise he did not mean what he said, was only saying something to get elected.  Our President needs to put the American people first.  He made the promise to help American workers have jobs here in America.  I heard him say it.  We cannot buy if we have no jobs and no money because of offshoring.

It is not just President Obama - they all do it -
Bush: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/11/29/president-bushs-trav.html

Clinton: http://www.ntu.org/main/press_release.php?PressID=218&org_name=NTU
President Obama is a man

who wants to sit down and civilly discuss things without preconditions.  Now either he is lying about converting to Christianity and that doesn't bode well for Americans if he sides with the Islamic extremists OR they want him dead too for switching his faith in which case there will be no discussing of anything with those people.  So where does that leave us?  If Obama converted after being raised Muslim, he should know better than anyone the rule for converting.


So either Obama will turn on us and side with the Muslims or the extremists will do all in their power to try and kill our president for being an infidel.  Either way.....how is this good for the US.

Thank you, President Obama!
Job well done!
Barack Obama for President

I'd rather seen Palin as President than Obama - sm
At least she has more experience than he does running anything. The only thing he ran is dealing out money he recieved from Ayers to radical schools (and this was NOT for history, english or math programs).

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA


                           


                          


 

Congratulations President Obama!

Congratulations President Obama! "Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another – a journey that will bring a new and better day to America." I am so happy I lived long enough to be a part of history in the making.

Obama being a possible fraud as president
nm
Bush is President. Obama is not (yet).
Very disrepectful to treat him like this. Like I say come 01/20/09 Obama can have at the cameras all he wants 24 hours a day 7 days a week. But to come out and act as though he is already president is very disrespectful.
Right. Because Obama has done such a terrible job as president....(sm)

Oh, wait....no...it can't be....the audacity of this man.  He isn't even president yet, and just look at how he has changed this country.  He has given people hope for a brighter future....the nerve.  Things were much better when we could just torture people at will, invade who we want, pi$$ off the world, and not have to deal with those pesky civil rights.  Oh, those were the days! 


Keep counting.

In his first day in office, President Obama

-- hit the ground running.  Just got done watching TV to see what his first day was like.  Just for fun, I looked up Bush's first day in 2001.  Here's what I found:


"On his first day in office, Bush moved to block federal aid to foreign groups that offered counseling or any other assistance to women in obtaining abortions.  Days later, he announced his commitment to channeling more federal aid to faith-based service organizations. At the time, critics feared this would dissolve the traditional separation of church and state. Bush created the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to assist faith-based service organizations. In a televised address on Aug. 9, 2001, Bush would announce a national policy on stem cell research that authorized funding and research work, with federal restrictions over the use of human embryos." 


Yeah, that whack-job started whacking way at women's control over their own bodies, tried to integrate government and the church (HUGE mistake!), and to outlaw one of the most promising medical breakthroughs.  I'm surprised witch-trials and book-burning didn't come back into fashion again under his "leadership".


 I think where he belongs is in some isolated, authoritarian religious cult out in the middle of nowhere.

President Obama today
Does what President Obama said today about companies going offshore have anything to do with what is happening to our jobs?  I am confused.  Does this just have to do with losing tax money or losing jobs?
All the promises made by President Obama.
President Barrack Obama has made a huge list of promises.  As you can see, some promises he has already broken and we aren't even into his presidency a whole week yet.

 

Foreign Policy


Domestic Policy

During the electrion primaries and now with President Obama
we hear so much about creating jobs for Americans.  The unemployment rate is at an all time high, and yet no one seems to say anything about jobs being lost to India.  Isn't there something being done by the politicians who so wanted our votes to protect American jobs?  This is criminal.  I know if I was a business owner I truly could not find it within myself to betray this country and cause Americans to be jobless.  I am honestly reaching for answers. 
President Obama campaign promises
I hope our new President does go to work for our jobs, meaning all American jobs, as he promised.  I did hear him make that promise, but it is not necessarily looking good at this point.  To see his offshoring comments, can be seen at www.loudobbs.com. 
Hit the nail on the head. President Obama is....
showing his true colors immediately. We are rapidly becoming the socialist states of america. Those of you who voted for him....I don't think you are going to like where the road leads. Even some Dems now trying to put on the brakes. Too late...the train has left the station. Unless of course you intend to join those at the bottom of the ladder and wait for your freebies. Problem is...when all of we worker bees are forced to the bottom of the ladder and all the "rich" move off to another country...who is going to be working to pay the taxes for the freebies? THAT is what socialism does. It is the great separator. The only people in the country who have anything left are those attached to the government. The new "rich." No middle class, poof, gone. Just the government and the beholden poor. If you look real close down the road...you can see it coming, if you dare look.

Can't wait for the rest of his term (tongue firmly in cheek).
Obama must be United States Citizen to be president!!!!

Until he proves to all the people of the United States that he was born a US citizen, how can anyone support him for president!  Are we all that desperate?

Obama is the most unqualified, inexperienced candidate for president
PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ! ! ! ! ! !
x
Get it right...President-elect Barack Obama stated it
was people's choice if they chose to have an abortion.  Nevertheless, you live in america and he is your president as well, just go ahead and face the fact.  It does not matter whether you trust him or not, he is your president, RESPECT him as such!!!!!!!
Obama was born in Kenya, which makes him uneligible to be President...nm
xxxx
I won't flame you! I totally agree. Obama as president only weakens
this country and makes us ripe for the end.  He does not support Israel.  Keep your eyes on Israel.  I look for them to bomb Iran before Bush's term is up because they know Obama will not suport them. 
I hope President Obama is watching "The View". sm
T. Boone Pickens is on there -- he is one brilliant man, and President Obama needs to pay attention to that this man has to say!!
Universal health care and President Obama's real plan -

I see again that everyone is talking about President Obama's plan for universal health care and I once again feel the need to distinguish between universal health care and what the plan is that President Obama has campaigned for.  I have copied and pasted part of the web page, but also included the link at the bottom of this for you to see the whole plan. 


President Obama does not ask for universal health care where the government is in charge - he just wants the government to ensure that everyone has access to medical care and health insurance.  Why is it so difficult to understand that this is not socialized medicine, government run healthcare, or universal coverage plans?


Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan


On health care reform, the American people are too often offered two extremes - government-run health care with higher taxes or letting the insurance companies operate without rules. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe both of these extremes are wrong, and that’s why they’ve proposed a plan that strengthens employer coverage, makes insurance companies accountable and ensures patient choice of doctor and care without government interference.


The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to implement the plan. Under the Obama-Biden plan, patients will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors, instead of being blocked by insurance company bureaucrats.


Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.


If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options.


http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare/

If customary deference to a sitting president by president elect
for the rest of us who understand such concepts as respect and traditional protocol, it would qualify as a darned good reason.
President Obama=bigger taxes, bigger government, and a profound change in society and culture

I would if he were president now...nm
x
Why does President need help with a way out?
That's really scary. I do think if we have any troops come home, it'll be before elections - and not a minute before necessary to have the greatest impact on election results. Wallace should wonder if the families of fallen soldiers would be offended at THAT kind of rank political maneuvering. I know I am.

And what happened to SPREADING DEMOCRACY (like margarine?) in Iraq? Chalabi just appointed the head Taliban judge to office in Iraq, the one who outlawed female education in Afghanistan and sponsored public executions for not wearing burkhas. Is that what we promised the Iraqi people? The whole thing is a huge mess. All the billions and billions Congress authorized for rebuilding Iraq went into Halliburton and other crony pockets and the job was never done. We can't train more Iraqi police units because as soon as we give them guns and tanks they use them on our soldiers. That's why Bush can't tell the truth about how that's going, but that doesn't stop him from continuing to fudge the numbers.

Sadly, Bush won't take any help even if it's offered - not in his game plan apparently.


We need this man as our next president
Someone who can speak so elequently without having to read word from word from notes or prompters.

Someone who knows what the different races are about, understands, and embraces heritages of all backgrounds.

Someone who can meet with our enemies to try and stop the violence and come to agreements.

Someone who is intelligent.

Someone who isn't married to "bad baggage" that will disgrace our white house.

Someone who isn't a war mongerer or voted for the war.

Someone who is truthful to the American people and not deceiptful (sp?) trying to hide things they have done.

Someone who doesn't think they should just be annointed to the white house but actually needs to "earn" the publics vote.

Someone who doesn't believe they should win just because they are from a certain race or gender.

Someone who is calm under fire, can think and act with a clear mind, and doesn't lash out, spew racial or ethnic slurs.

Someone who wants a better country for all people and not just themselves and their close friends and family.

Someone who is relatively "new" to Washington and not the same ol "stuff".

Someone who is working towards our future and not living or trying to live in the past.

Comment: Who cares that people Obama knows (but clearly doesn't share the same viewpoint of which he has had to say over and over and over and over) throws out biggoted or hateful things. You have them on all sides. Hillary's got her people (Ferraro and others) coming out with biggoted and hateful statements and you've got John McCain's people (Cunningham and others) coming out with their biggoted and hateful statements and they too have had to distance themselves. Unfortunately they die away quickly but Obama has to keep repeating himself on the same story. I have a good relationship with my minister, but it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says and if he said terrible things just because I have a good relationship with him doesn't mean I agree with him. - Just get tired of Obama having to repeat the same things over and over. Kind of reminds me of the line in a movie I heard once. "I don't know how many different ways I can tell you the same story." - and - "Have IQ's just dropped sharply since I've been away".

It's true we are not going to be able to change a true biggot. Some people will just not vote for him because he's part black, just like some other people will also not vote for Hillary because she's a woman. I just hope there are enough good Americans to overcome that and do the right thing (at least what I believe is the right thing). But it is getting tiring listening to the opponents stir up a bunch of hateful things trying to get the people to vote against him and time and time again I read this board and will read the same comments over and over "did you hear what Obama's minister said". It's like listening to a broken record and I always think - they're not actually bring this up again???

I believe our country needs a lot of healing. We've got a long way to go on the racial issues/hatred towards one race or another. We've got to try to make amends with the people who we fear and call our enemies, when in fact the people we should be fearing is our own government. We've put years and years into believing our government is going to be truthful with us, but when you have a VP who says "so" when he is told that 2/3 of Americans don't believe in the war and feel we should have not gone to war (DH and I sat with our mouths open), those are the people I consider terro**rists by putting fear in the American people's mind where there should be no fear.

So for that and all the reasons I listed above that is why I'm voting for Obama.
He is NOT my president ...
I didn't vote for him .. Another thing, I will NOT vote for McBush (errr ... McCain).  I was a Hilary fan all the way until she couldn't get the nomination .. now I'll switch gears to Obama.  Frankly, I think I would could do a better job than Bush .. at least I'd use my common sense!!
This is who we want for President?

Probably for the best. Once someone becomes President,
it seems like even if they are an excellent choice, they have to use far too much of their time, skill and energy just defending themselves from the other side. No one ever really wins, least of all, US.
Either way, the next president is
only in for one term. McCain will simply be too old and by then health will be a major factor. Obama, on the other hand, simply will not be able to come through with all of his promises due to the current situation with our economy. I do believe if he is elected that many who voted for him will see him for what he truly is, an inexperienced leader who has no clue. His strings are pulled by the extreme left. Either way, we are in for a rough 4 years.
next president
The question is not what the next president HAS done, the question is what he WILL do.
That's if he becomes president. He can't
veto anything as a senator. That's the prez's job.
I did nto say he should not have run for president. I said...
that all the fuel skinheads need (which I am not one of--my hair is very long) is a black man running for president. My gosh--I knew somebody would read things incorrectly. I think skin heads are horrible people. As I said, his color is not an issue for me!
He is your president too
"To those whose respect I have yet to earn." Another question might be how far to the center he will take himself. If socialism means equality and opportunity for all Americans, if it means we can now begin to heal the division that have separated us in the past and of late, if it means that American is still the place where all things are possible, if it means we rise or fall as one nation and one people, if it means this is our chance to answer our call to progress, if it means it is our time to restore prosperity and promote the call to peace, if it means we have rediscovered the fundamental truth, that out of many we are one, and if it means we have told the world we are who we say we are, then I say bring it on.

We'll just be taking this thing one step at a time. Step number one. Try a little hope in place of the fear.
He's NOT president yet
And yet here he is giving another press conference.  He has no business giving any press conferences as though he is president.  He is NOT president yet.  Yes, he will be on January 20th but that date hasn't arrived yet.  I'm sick of him sticking his face in front of the camera giving everytime he turns around.  He is commenting on issues he has no business commenting on.  These are for the President to talk about.  Yes, I know Bush is a bumbling baboon, but he is still the president until Obama is sworn in.  This guy is just plain arrogant!  If this is how the next four years are going to be I hope they do go by fast.
One President.........sm


Washington, D.C. — Over the course of the last two months President-elect Barack Obama and the Presidential Transition Team (PTT) have replaced their campaign maxim, "Change We Can Believe In," with a new mantra: "We Only Have One President at a Time."

It is a slogan that has already worn out.

Obama and the PTT have used this phrase repeatedly in response to reporters' questions on the economy, federal bailouts, foreign policy, national security, the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, the future of "Gitmo" and the Russian decision to shut down the delivery of natural gas to Western Europe through Ukrainian pipelines.


During this week's Oval Office photo-op with President George W. Bush and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and William Jefferson Blyth Clinton, Obama used the "one president at a time" dodge to avoid answering a reporter's hurled interrogatory about Israeli military operations in Gaza. The response from those in the lineup, and apparently most in the mainstream media, is to nod approvingly at Obama's sagacity every time they hear him say it.

The only trouble is — it simply isn't true.

While the current, former and future commanders-in-chief went off to snack and chat, Senator Joe Biden, the soon-to-be vice president of the United States, headed off to Andrews Air Force Base to commence a hastily convened, week-long "congressional fact finding mission" to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Absent from the secret itinerary divulged by Mr. Biden were other places with even more pressing problems: India — a U.S. ally still recovering from the brutal Mumbai terror attack and on the brink of attacking Pakistan. The Ukraine — a NATO applicant, threatened by interference from Moscow and this week's natural gas cutoff. And Israel — an American ally facing the threat of U.N. sanctions for acting in self defense to protect its citizens from Iranian-supplied rockets and mortars being fired from Gaza by Hamas, and which now faces attacks from Iranian-supported Hezbollah terror in Lebanon.

While the potentates of the press gush over the forthcoming "history-making inaugural," the Biden "Codel" — Washington-speak for "congressional delegation" — to select trouble-spots has made some little-noted history of its own. Unlike Obama, Biden did not surrender his Senate seat. This week, when Congress reconvened, Biden insisted on being sworn in as Delaware's senior senator and retaining his position as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Unlike Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Dan Quayle and AL Gore — who all ascended to vice presidency of the Unites States from the Senate and did nothing to interfere in diplomatic issues between election and inaugural — Biden is now dabbling about in the affairs of state.

Biden defends his actions by pointing to the company he is keeping on this trip: fellow Senators John Kerry, D-Mass., Jack Reed, D-R.I., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lindsay Graham, R-S.C. Earlier in the week, perhaps forgetting the post he will occupy on Jan. 20, Biden said, "I'm a still a Senate man." None of the media all-stars covering the PTT thought to ask Obama what he thought of this response. Notably, Hillary Rodham Clinton — soon to become the next secretary of state — was neither included in the CODEL nor available for comment about the propriety of such an unprecedented adventure.

None of this bodes well for the new administration or for America's interests in a very dangerous world. The situations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are certainly important. But so too are outcomes in Gaza and Lebanon, our relationship with India and the effects of an increasingly tense standoff between Russia and Ukraine. All of these places and problems matter to U.S. national security, and all are perhaps in more urgent need of attention.

Obama can't have it both ways. He cannot claim on the one hand that "we have only one president" and then dispatch his future vice president on a thinly-disguised CODEL to diddle in diplomacy without having world leaders take note of what the incoming administration considers to be important. In permitting the Biden CODEL to go forward and approving the itinerary, Obama has sent a signal — intentionally or not — to allies and adversaries alike.

From Moscow to Tehran, Caracas to Beijing, London to Delhi, in virtually every world capital, foreign leaders and their intelligence services are now making judgments about the next leader of the free world. They learned something about his wisdom, seriousness and maturity this week when he picked Leon Panetta, a man with "intelligence deficit disorder," to head the CIA. Perhaps they also had a little chuckle when he chose a TV celebrity doctor to become surgeon general to deal with bio-terrorism and possible pandemics. Hopefully the Biden CODEL trip to Southwest Asia did not lead them to conclude that Obama is not a man of his word.

Maybe because THIS president knows which
He isn't trying to clean up the mess daddy left behind when he left office.

Obama is a MUCH BETTER president in 3 months than GW Bush ever was. Period.
