Where is Obama?

[Zkribbler]

QFT I was going to say the same thing...only I wouldn't have done it as well.

[TCO]

It is both politically wise AND the right thing for him to do, to stay out of foreign policy issues until he is in power. Our partisan differences are for us. Not for foreiegners.

There's only one president at a time, you douchebags!

You really can't do any better than parroting the trite talking point we've already heard a hundred times each?

[Zkribbler]

It may be a cliche that 1 + 1 = 2, but it's still true.

It's not nice to hammer Obama for not doing Bush's job.

[Naked Gents Rut]

If Obama is smart, he'll continue to ignore Israel/Palestine after he becomes President. Why waste time and effort on an intractable problem?

[Dis]

I just hope he doesn't spend as much time on vacation as Bush.

[Naked Gents Rut]

He's going to spend as much time working out, apparently.

He looked a lot more presidential than McCain on the bailout/credit crunch. He seems to know when to take his shots. So maybe he will follow Drake's advice. He has not solved the poverty problems in the communities he represented. some things are intractable. He sees his job as more just saying the right things and looking good.

He's eating breakfast in bed at the Hay Adams to the tune of several hundred a night (easily). What a lucky bastard....

I'm not here to please you!

It is difficult to help those who will not help themselves. There is only so much you can do for those people. Some people don't seem to have pride as others do, and are just fine taking goverment handouts, and have no desire to learn how to work.

I mean, as much as people love/hate Reagan, I feel he would have said/done something about this most recent and most serious Israel/Hamas situation before he became President.

So where the **** is Barack?

Reagan went on vacation post the election and wasn't even in Washington until after the Congress was sworn in. He had only "no opinion yet" for the press and his administration was very close hold about who would be doing what until he was sworn in.

Barack, at the moment is a private citizen, despite his impending power. Also, most of you will recall how the Republicans tried to exploit the fact that the Hamas endorsed Obama, without his solicitation. So he's better off in terms of credibility in the Middle East, if Hamas' power is broken.

Write a couple of best sellers like he did, and you can move into the next room.
