A new president, a new start for a new millenium.

#1 Post by gregf »

I have always said that the world has underestimated the good people of America.
And that when they stand up, the world will change.

I have waited a long time for such a leader.
This reminds me very much of the hope and optimism around President Kennedy.

I hope everyone around the world gets behind the changes he may bring.

At last something else than Bush. I didn´t hear his speech but some people told what he had said. So many people wanted to see it that BBC-website was stucked.

Despite his intelligence, charm and good looks he will amount to fundamentally nothing. The banks own him already.

I hope Obama sees the truth

http://habervaktim.com/resim.php?id=130 ... 027&page=1

----------

and Obama says :

Here are the outstanding parts in Obama's speech emphasizing his relations with the Islam world in the new era:

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama!


We'll see!

That's no surprise coming from a self-loathing liberal as you. Yes, Obama is the Leader aka Fuehrer you have been waiting for. Every time you socialists show your true colors unintentionally. Idolatry is your favorite pastime.
I guess it took a few millions of swing voters who saw in Obama the opportunity to mooch from other hard-working people and hence voted for Obama(who along with the Democrats and ACORN caused the financial meltdown!), the messiah of the atheists such as you. And you want change? Is that why two thirds of his staff are Clinton cronies? Is that why he emulates FDR's New Deal that prolonged and deteriorated the Great Depression( don't expect to read that in socialist history book in achool)? Martin Luther King would be turning in his grave because he dreamed of the day that man would not be judged by the color of his skin. But all Obama was judged by IS his skin. Because if you ask an Obamabot what he has accomplished so far, they can't point to anything apart from "giving hope" and such pablum. It's true that ignorance is the most expensive commodity we have. And the sheer ignorance and nefariousness that you display here on this board is the sad truth of your average liberal.

It was funny how the Manchurian Candidate had an anti-gay pastor speaking at his inauguration. The liberals would have been apoplectic if Bush had done that.

That's because it's bullshit.

I think people looked past the colour of his skin to see a gifted politician and orator. There was more class in his 20 minute speech yesterday than Dubya managed in 8 years as President.

Good to see you predictably eschewing Obama's hope that we all stand together to meet the crises and challenges facing our society today and instead choosing to indulge in partisan hackery. It just shows you up for the mean-spirited little troll you are.

Give the guy a chance for f*** sake. Your gormless zombie right-winger schtick has gotten way old now.

the upside is he might actually do some really good stuff for america.and good stuff that will help us get along better with europe.

the bad is,dealing with the usual russian,hamas,Nkorea or Iran or fundamental types he will have no sway whatsoever.

the general feeling is Obama will not be continuing the Bush doctrine of hell fire from the air. his doctine concerning the muslim world supposedly will be along the lines of "hope it works out allright for you people". so depending on if anyone believes islamic militants will throw out their doctines and become moderates because of Obama, only history will tell.but I wish him luck though.I like him.

He'll have the same sway Clinton and the Bushes had. Let's face it, nobody has managed to pull off anything impressive in that department since Reagan outspent the Russians. Good luck doing that now with the economy Bush left us with.

Here is a guy who hasn't always been Obama's biggest fan but is big enough and adult enough to say, "I wish him luck, though. I like him."
