TDS - Obama
Posted on August 23rd, 2007 by ecthompson
Barack Obama was the guest. He was thoughtful, smooth, intelligent, funny and presidential. Yep, I said it. While, I’m talking about Barack let me say that he has been great on the campaign. I don’t think that he has put his foot in his mouth. I think that the American press has portrayed him that way. If one looks at his whole statements, you don’t find a gaffe but instead you find thoughtful policy.
We’ll go after Bin Laden. How’s that a bad thing? Policy folks were saying that we could destabilize Pakistan. What? Obama wasn’t talking about sending in 100,000 troops. He was talking about sending in a couple of hundred to do the job with air support. In/Out.
I saw the show and the newspapers are cherry picking like they always do.It is a shame when they bring up his so called lack of experience he pointed out Cheney and Rumsfeld and the papers around here are making it sound like he was stabbing Clinton. He seemed like he would be able to actually think before reacting. I have been not thrilled with Hillary and I think any mix of the 3. Obama, Edwards and Richardson as president and vice president would do Americans proud.
Very very nice blog, and thanks for stopping by Notes hope you will stop by as often as you like - EC you are now blogrolled. Great title, nice template, what a lovely addition you are. I will refrain from putting my current two cents in here , right now as i am in waffle ville and my candidate Kucinich is not going to be in the finals. My musings and heartfelt rants can be found on my bloggie. WE are an eclectic mix of folks. Most of whom have less time to write than i do. All are welcome. And we refrain from group think. I am a new blogger too, so my chops are still a work in progress. I am a medically retired medical/psychiatric social worker educated in New York State, who has worked on both coasts and in the southwest in tons of settings mostly public sector. I care deeply about social policies and is effects on people - often its not the people who are pathological.Its the system and stressful environments that excerbate the problems. Just a bit about who i am and where i am coming from. Oh and i have a heapin bunch of outrage. Seems daily there is new one for all the well known reasons.
