Predictions for Obama?s Presidency Revisited
2011-11-09 07:55:00 On the night Barack Obama was elected, I wrote a now-infamous editorial outlining my predictions for his Presidency. The story went viral on the internet, ended up on Snopes, and still gets hundreds of hits a day as well as netting me a fair amount of email. It amuses me how much of the attention ...

Race remains hot topic despite Obama presidency
2010-10-17 20:34:00 Race remains hot topic despite Obama presidency The election of the first black president in U.S. history was supposed to usher in a post-racial era in America. But a series of controversies since then, from the White House “Beer Summit” to the conflicts between the tea party and NAACP, shows that race is still a hot-button issue. “As a society, clearly we’re not over race,” said Hettie V. Williams, lecturer in the African American History Department at Monmouth University. Unlike the racial disturbances of the 1960s and ’70s, the race-related controversies of the past two years have, for the most part, played out over the airwaves and across the blogosphere, not on the streets of America’s cities. Full Story Here: Race remains hot topic despite Obama presidency Race DOES remain a HOT TOPIC…for the RACE BAITERS. That, my friends, is the face of a MAD MAN, an America hating MAD MAN that isn’t white, isn’t black, isn&rsqu...

Noynoy Aquino wins Philippine Presidency ? by a Landslide
2010-05-11 07:24:00 When I made my assumptions last October, that Benigno (Noynoy) Aquino III might be poised to become the 15th president of the Philippines, nobody expected that the results would come in so clearly and undisputed. Usually laughed-off Aquino as a ?mental? or bespectacled pseudo-intellectual, who only came to political power due to his name, proved ...

Against the Tortured Logic of Obama's Placebo Presidency: A Call for the Au
2009-05-30 20:29:00 Image: Gates of HELL by ~lahunoxnaakalEssay by Phil Rockstroh5/27/09From time to time, events unfold that are so large in scope, so all-encompassing in their implications that one's initial response is muted by an inability to categorize it all within the realm of experience. Previous reference points prove of little service. One's image of oneself and one's place in the world is under seize, perhaps even in danger of being torn away. One stare's into the abyss, until the abyss removes its dark shades and makes direct eye contact. The mind buzzes; one's thoughts scuttle in circles like stunned insects.On a collective basis, we as a nation are living through such a time. At present, we are witnessing the descending spiral of Icarusian Capitalism; our sacred delusion of the perpetual ascendancy of a god-like market place lies broken in the dust. Malls and Mcmansions stand abandoned, desolate as the edifices of forgotten gods, as the come-ons of the salesmen of deregulated capital...

The Ethnic Presidency by Earl Ofari Hutchinson
2008-12-25 05:41:00 The Ethnic Presidency: How does race decides the campaign for the White House? Book DescriptionThe role that racial and ethnic issues play in influencing—and often ultimately deciding—presidential elections past, present, and future is analyzed in this explosive and hard-hitting study. The history of race on the campaign trail is addressed, with special attention paid to the last three decades of presidential platforms. The Ethnic Presidency is an explosive look at how racial and ethnic conflict has openly and covertly played a crucial role the past three decades in influencing, shaping and ultimately deciding who bags the world’s biggest political prize, the White House. It tells how racial politics will play an even bigger role in the 2008 presidential election and future elections.The Ethnic Presidency examines Obama-mania, the Hillary and Bill factor, the soaring Latino vote, the silent but potent Asian-American vote, the immigration wars, the GOP’s love-hate relationsh...

Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah Comments On Obama Presidency
2008-11-11 21:11:00 Found this interesting here are his comments:As for the recent election of U.S. President Barack Obama to the White House, Nasrallah called on people not to "exaggerate their hopes, so that no one might be later disappointed.' He called on people to "wait and see.""Our Arab and African world might sympathize with Obama due to his past and color. However, no one must over exaggerate their hopes to be later disappointed." He explained."America is governed by interests and strategies. It would be illogical to bet on a tyrant to change. You must rather work to be strong." Nasrallah said.SOURCE

Middle East Bloggers React To Obama Presidency
2008-11-07 22:02:00 Read what many of them had to say here:FROM IRAQ:I'm not American, but if I had the right to vote then I would vote for Senator John McCain. The reason why I would vote for that aged senator is because of his attitude concerning the withdrawal of the US army troops out of Iraq. I totally agree with the republicans that the US troops shouldn't leave Iraq soon. There is a lot of work still need to be done on the ground. Iraq hasn't built strong military and Police establishments yet. Their army needs some more time to be strong, immune and firm against any possible threat.Therefore, leaving Iraq alone is simply not the change we need, dear Obama.
Al-Qaeda ALL Quiet on the Election Front - Obama Wins USA Presidency
2008-11-06 08:20:00 Listen to the HotConflict Political Podcast. Download Here "As Election Day in the United States comes and goes, it appears there will be no significant al Qaeda announcement or attack against U.S. interests before most Americans record their vote. The group’s silence — on both the physical and ideological battlefields — on the subject of the U.S. presidential election probably has resulted from heavy U.S. pressure on al Qaeda and its leaders."Three possible reasons explain this deviation from the pattern: Al Qaeda did not think it was important to make a statement or attack pertaining to the elections; Al Qaeda has decided to withhold comment or attack until after the election; Al Qaeda wanted to make a statement or attack prior to the election, but for some reason failed to do so.

Propelled by Internet, Barack Obama Wins Presidency
2008-11-06 02:12:00 Source: WiredBarack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States Tuesday night, crowning an improbable two-year climb that owes much of its success to his command of the internet as a fundraising and organizing tool.Obama won 52 percent of the nation's popular vote, and had a 338-163 advantage in electoral votes Wednesday morning, thanks to victories in several swing and traditionally Republican states. The results are a stunning and hard-won victory for a candidate who began the race as a relative newcomer to the national political stage, and ended it as first African-American to win the White House."I was never the likeliest candidate for this office," Obama said in an acceptance speech in Chicago Tuesday night. "We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign ... was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause."Both Obama and Republican rival John M...

An Obama Presidency --- A Fourth Term for the Bushes
2008-07-07 09:30:00 On the whole, jimmy carter probably did more harm to the world in his four long years of sado-masochistic diplomacy and foreign policy than the Bushes did in their 12 years of three presidential terms. Jimmy of course had the benefit of Zbigniew Brzezinski's loyal and proficient assistance in preparing the ground for future wars worse than the Bushes' two wars in Iraq. One of Zbig's hideous creations, the Khomeini regime in Iran, now led by Ahmadinejad, is working towards building a nuclear bomb. And they will probably be allowed by the West to obtain such a bomb, although the very thought of these mad mullahs armed with the Bomb is terrifying, and although some European leaders, such as French president Sarkozy, seem to realize the danger that the Bomb in the hands of the mad mullahs represents for them too.Now, this issue and many other foreign policy issues should enter into one's reckonings about the 2008 presidential election campaign. George Bush II has done little concret...

2008-05-02 09:51:00 Yusril Ihza Mahendra, a former key aide of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has said he is ready to run for the 2009 presidential election. "I have been ready to become a presidential candidate since long time ago, and prepared for competition with other candidates in the upcoming elections," Yusril was quoted Friday by major national newspaper Kompas as saying. The 52-year-old, the founding figure of the Muslim-based Crescent Star Party (PBB), was dismissed from the cabinet last year amid graft probe into the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights that he led in 2001-2004. He has largely withdrawn from politics and recently played a leading role in the making of the Admiral Cheng Ho movie, which hit cinemas this year.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-

It outsources the nasty job of fighting its wars to poor folk and convicted felons, customer service, tech support and even legal research to India, and everything else to China. Being president really isn't something to be learned on the job, so it should go to a guy with some experience under his belt. And you really ought to have a president who has some familiarity with the U.S. and doesn't have to move a long distance. Can we lend you Vicente Fox for the next eight years? Or even Carlos Salinas de Gortari? All right, so Ernesto Zedillo and Miguel de la Madrid but be better choices, but they're not around stirring up a...
