Barack Obama Acting Like the President Already
Barack Obama Acting Like the President Already
The Democratic and Republican Conventions haven’t convened yet nor has Barack’s name been placed before the Convention delegates and voted upon and approved by the majority uncommitted Super Delegates, but it doesn’t seem to matter anyhow. The outcome of the Convention must be a foregone conclusion, so President-Elect Barack Obama has decided to start his Presidential inaugural and the symbolic ‘first hundred days in office,’ a few months ahead of time. Perhaps Barack was on to something with his bestseller, “The Audacity of Hope,” and a follow-up sequel to that would be another book with the title, “The Audacity of Presumption.”
It is of course entirely proper for a U.S. Senator to go on a fact-finding mission as part of a Congressional delegation to Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe, or anywhere else in the world where the vital interests and military forces of America are involved. On this past weekend, Senator, Oops, President-Elect Barack Obama met with Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan to assure him of continued aid to the country and support for the government.
Next on the President-Elect’s Foreign policy mission is to meet with Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany as well as leaders of other European nations. The chair at the Oval Office won’t have a chance to cool off because Barack Obama is already keeping it warm, and in some way the transition team has already started to move in new furniture. The only thing left to do now is for Michelle to decide what kind of dinnerware the ‘First Family’ dines on, the special meals that a finicky Barack wants to have prepared, and the new type of drapes she wants hanging from the White House windows. Perhaps First Lady Laura Bush can give her a few suggestions on that last one.

These people promote
These people promote themselves. They do not do it on merit only emotion and energy that is generated by manipulating the masses like a woman. That is the strategy of the democrat cochroach whose real agenda is to look bad in order tho look good to their emotional secular voting base. This group positively makes me sick.
We use Harry Ried the puke blocks another vote in these examples
Take off those partisan blinders, eggs
All politicians promote themselves, all of them attempt to "manipulate" the masses, and all of them tell the people what they want to hear.
Wake up!

Sensibly taken. I like your
Sensibly taken. I like your advice Khjack. I take the blinders off. Now doing that Obama is throwing some stiff jabs. This will give McCain a lot to react to.
Spiritual non spiritual, does a man react?
I don't see any issue here
"The Democratic and Republican Conventions haven’t convened yet nor has Barack’s name been placed before the Convention delegates and voted upon and approved by the majority uncommitted Super Delegates, but it doesn’t seem to matter anyhow. The outcome of the Convention must be a foregone conclusion."
Well yes, the outcome of both conventions pretty much IS a foregone conclusion. Both candidates are acting like nominees, and why not? For all intents and purposes they are. But I'm curious, why does this article blame Obama for acting like he's the nominee, but not McCain?
The rivals of McCain and Obama have abandoned their campaigns and endorsed their party's presumptive nominee. Will Barr or Paul defeat McCain at the convention? No. Obama's position is even more clear: no Democrat is challenging him for his party's nomination.
I don't see any issue here.
This is perfectly acceptable
Besides the obvious act-as-if-you-already-have-something-and-trust-the-Universe-to-provide aspect of this story, it only makes sense that Obama have a plan in place for assembling his Cabinet, dealing with foreign countries, and his domestic policies. Unlike George "Shoot First, Plan Later" Bush, Barack Obama seems to have a good entourage of advisors giving him good advice.
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
The fact is I have yet to
The fact is I have yet to see this guy do anything. He goes to Iraq and confirms what my President is already doing. Who is the pawn here? Obama obviously. You would think Afghanistan is laughing its head off right now.
Obama gets puffed up like a blow fish in America due to his love affair with the liberal press, goes over there and appeases. I don't see anything wrong with it either. I just see it for what it is. Like Kjhack said they're in a race.
"Obama's position is even more clear: no Democrat is challenging him for his party's nomination."
That is not true. Billary still thinks she is in it and so do all of her women voters.
The point
I was making was that the author's statement is a non-issue, because when a candidate has his party's nomination in everything but the official voting, the candidate can and will start acting like the nominee.
""Obama's position is even more clear: no Democrat is challenging him for his party's nomination."
That is not true. Billary still thinks she is in it and so do all of her women voters.
Huh? Then why is Hillary campaigning for Obama and asking her supporters to vote for him.
"so do all of her women voters."
Well, that's flat-out wrong. Have you actually talked to any of them, or are you just assuming based on your own wishful thinking?
That is right dub I believe
That is right dub I believe in Jesus and that God even controls history. Shoot first or your type bury your head in the sand and leave your bottom in the air like the Clinton years.
Just because he acts like a President does not mean he is the President nor give you a reason of ANY SUBSTANCE to vote for the guy.
Can you tell me what this guy has done other than support a world poverty tax?
Well, he did go to the middle east and act like he is something he is not. Promoting yourself could be fun for a moment doesn't mean you are.
About the cadidates
Who do you believe make the best president, eggs?
For all of your complaining and whining about Obama, you've done verrrrrrry little in the way of explaining why McCain is the better choice. Just because he is a Republican doesn't make him God. Why not spend some time extolling the virtues of your presumptive best choice for president instead of tearing everyone else down with extreme prejudice?
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
Excellent point kjhack
It's all smoke and mirrors, no matter which party one may support. It's too bad that these days there seems to be more of that than there is substance. When it all boils down they're all just little men sitting behind a big curtain trying to make us believe that they can run the big show.

My Opinion
I'm no expert in politics but I didn't look at it as Obama doing a bad thing by going there. It has always been said that he has little or no experience in foreign affairs. Now he goes to Afghanistan and you act like this is a bad thing. So which is it? He's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't. Obama bashers, you can't have it both ways. I think it's great that he's delving into the reality of the situation by actually going there. I don't see a better way for his "inexperience" to become "experienced".
Give it up...he's gonna win :)
Good Idea dubjub. Why don't
Good Idea dubjub. Why don't you live by your own standards. Tell me about this Mr. Obama. Heck I think we might have something here. You write about Obama's virtues, and I will write about Mr. McCain's virtues. I still do not believe "acting like" or smart advisers "promoting" him to something he is not is virtuous nor truthful to gullible individuals like your self. Anyway maybe than you can stop whining about me.
Put up or shut up, eggs
I am already on the record as saying that I am not voting for president, so I am not "defending" either candidate. I--and I'm sure I speak for others, as well--am tired of seeing your whiny screed attack anyone who doesn't 100% support our government in Iraq and Afghanistan and label them "Obama voters".
I am also on the record as saying that I don't feel that either candidate is capable of restoring our Constitution, which is reason enough not to vote for either of them.
You are on the record as...calling everyone else an "Obama voter". It is put up or shut up time, eggsoveresy. Since you are clearly against Barack Obama for President, why do you feel that John McCain is a good candidate?
By the way, my username is "jdubhub", which is a phonetic representation of my initials, not hubjub or jabbajub or any other twisted perversion of my username that you and others have written. I refer to you as "eggs" if not eggsoveresy, so you should at least refer to me in the correct form, if you are capable.
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
Saved by the Bell
Thats the only consolation I can see, if Obama wins. A good entourage of advisors and congress, may prove to be the safety net.
