He gets 4 years "if" he wins. Then, another 4 "if" he wins again. That's it.

Presumptuous demagogue.

Ahh well,liberal America's "Great(half)WhiteHope"!

I think the story will say more about the bias of the MSM that it will about Obama, silly as his remark may be. We know that if McCain had made the same mistake the MSM would be all over him. Obama will get a pass.

And it just keeps getting better on the German front for The One.

To make up for his presumption about doing a speech at the Brandenburg Gate, he decided to move it to a different venue.

From Der Spiegel: "The Siegessäule — or Victory Column — was erected in memory of Prussia’s victories over Denmark (1864), Austria (1866) and France (1870/71). The column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building, but was moved by Adolf Hitler to its current location in 1939 to make way for his planned transformation of Berlin into the Nazi capital “Germania.”

Is this guy trying to start a war with the Germans? The way he's pissing on their shoes, you'd think so ....

just say obama on ctv national news talking about
his plans for a troop surge... in afghanistan.

obviously trying to look commander-in-chiefly"
but he's gonna freak some of his hippy disciples.

What a complete and utter asshole he is.

Es gibt fantastische Ansicht von Berlin vom Siegessäule!

Maybe adding a few more policy advisors to the Obamessiah's
already 300 might help minimize these endless gaffes. Or is it just the audacity of arrogance?

In less than four months it is very probable he will be president. And it's going to be a hell of a thing to watch the pro-torture pro-war pro-evil pro-death folks deal with it.

Suppose Obama breaks a campaign promise: as evil people, shouldn't you praise him? If race riots occur and Obama fiddles and thousands die, shouldn't you salute him for his evil? If he hikes taxes and kills the economy, isn't that the cat's ass, from a neo-nihilist point of view?

What about an amnesty for imprisoned crack dealers; if thousands of them are set free, and crime skyrockets, isn't that somewhat awesome from the pro-evil perspective? You're not a bunch of goody two shoe whiners, right?

I'm serious. I don't understand the new morality very well - it seems illogical and unsustainable to me - and am genuinely curious to see how that unfolds.

Why do we dismiss the 8 to 10 year statement as a gaffe? Didn't their greatest President, you know the one who turned a recession into a deep depression, stay in office more than the 8 year period? He's dead serious folks!

Quezno (never tried your subs, by the way), you call (presumably) SDAers "pro-torture pro-war pro-evil pro-death". Now, I can understand how you "pro-molly-coddlers" could term some of the views of some of the SDA-ers as "pro-torture" and I can understand how you cowardly "pro-appeasement / pro-surrender" types could view us as "pro-war", but honestly, I don't get the "pro-evil" and "pro-death" monikers at all.

I would venture that the majority of SDAers are opposed to abortion, making us "pro-life"...it is YOU addled, twisted lefties that are truly "pro-death". If you are referring to "pro-death-penalty", then okay. And as for "pro-evil", WE are NOT the ones who march with and support terrorists, WE are NOT the ones who support killing little babies, WE are NOT the ones who want murderers and rapists to be left free to roam our country, WE are NOT the ones who support mysogyny or gay murders or the predjudices that Islam entails, etc. ad nauseum. That would be YOU and your "progressive" types.

You and your progressive types like to change the definitions of words ("tolerance" and "normal", for example)...so maybe you've just changed the definition of "evil", too. Please look in a dictionary and think about it and you will discover that it is evil to:

- hate women or women's equal rights (as Islamists do...and you folks support Islamists);
- hate homosexuals (as Islamists do...and you folks support Islamists) - please note that while some of us may not LIKE homosexuality and may not agree that the psychological aberation of less than 5% of the population is "normal", we DO "tolerate" homosexuals (please look up the definitions...you are conflating "celebration" with "tolerance");
- support and encourage terrorists (your political "heroes" march with Hamas and Hezbollah, they fund-raise with and for Tamils, they oppose fighting for the freedom and equality and democracy of men and WOMEN in Afghanistan);
- kill helpless little babies;
- etc. and ad nauseum.

So, please explain.

No doubt after Obama's two terms are up he will become an Ambassador to the United States somewhere in the world so he may still be dealing with world leaders in that capacity once his two terms are up, if he actually is elected twice.

People keep saying "elitist".

What they mean is "uppity".

"In less than four months it is very probable he will be president"

Where do you get the "very"? Have you read the polls? Have you looked at his recent fundraising? Dems always have their numbers inflated right up to election day. Then they scream fraud when they lose, but seriously, a Democrat who intends to win had better see his numbers going up right now, not going down.

Obama is disclosing the vacuous chamber that is the closet of his principles. An unprincipled man, with hints of megalomania (I am the One you have been waiting for) attaining power is a risky proposition.

If elected, I believe we will see this SDA theme evolve into "Is There Anything He Wouldn't Do".

No principles, plus ego, plus power = major trouble.

Hope Obama enjoys the ride on his bubble of self proclaimed importance, the great I am. The American people will burst his bubble in due course.

Great rant, Eeyore!

I'd like Quezno to explain him/herself too. 'Any bets s/he's outta here like the Road Runner?

Gunney99: The 22nd Amendment that imposes the two-term limit was passed after Roosevelt's reign. Indeed, as a result of it.

He will be there after eight years because Michelle will run for President, following the example of you-know-who.

Not all Conservatives are 'pro-life' - some of us are more libertarian in our views. But I agree that the left keeps trying to change the definitions - just look how they are trying to diss those who are for 'free speech'.

Yo, quezno, you f@#$ing moonbat. Who are you calling pro death?

The military types that come here? Like myself? Puuuuuulllllllease. The last thing any soldier ever wants to do is go to war.

The bible thumpers? Unlike another certain religion, the Christians just want to convert me, not kill me! (being an atheist, and all)

So, leftoid, stick to sorting your plastics, hand drying your wool socks and singing kumbaya. Cuz, at the end of the day, you have no idea what you are talking about!

VOTE REFORM!
GO ARMY!

FDR was elected to four terms, the yanks then amended their constitution for the 22 time , they didnt get their constitution perfect the first time like turdeau.the 22 amendment limits running to two terms even for magicians..

Two terms should be the rule in all democracies.

We don't have to go far to recall how the rot can settle in after even two terms and then in a third term proliferate to scams and sleaze with supreme arrogance.

The 22nd Amendment, like all of the U.S. Constitution, is subordinate to shari'a. That's all he's saying. Move along -- keep your eyes downcast and don't critique the magic Negro, kaffir!

People keep saying "elitist".

What they mean is "uppity".

If B. H. Obama displays exactly the mentality of the "we know what's best for you even if you don't", nanny-statist, ivy-tower, echo-chamber leftist academic, do you mean that all the rest of those elitists are uppity too?

Of course not. You mean that instead of a debate on the validity of Mr. Obama's ideas and attitudes, actions and records, intents and motivation, you want to play the race card and avoid any discussion of the man's short-comings.

Surely you believe that judging a man's competency by his race is wrong. Then how is it right to refuse to judge a man's competency because of his race?

10 years less a day, is the most any president can sit. To get to that, you have be elected VP, and the Pres die in office, if no one croaks, 8 years is it.

BTW, its not the "audacity of arrogance", its the audacity of ignorance...

Now make me a 12 inch assorted on brown, hot, to go, nothing to drink, ...idiot.

B. Hussein Obama may not serve a single day as hegemon, nor even appear on the ballot, unless he proves he was born in the United States. The birth certificate he provided so reluctantly appears to be a forgery.

Queznos?? A troll picked this as a monkier?

Heh, very fitting IMHO.
Never tried that stuff either ... very sleazy ads for clown food was enough for us to dismiss them off our 'purchased meals away from home' list.

Pro-life? I would grant pro-birth but it would seem most anti-choice activists quickly become disinterested after the birthing event.

In the most conservative jurisdictions, and in the sensibilities of the opponents of reproductive choice, matters of childhood education, healthcare and the environment are ignored. Poor academic performance, health statistics and indifference to the acute effects of a poor environment on children’s health is typically greeted with uncharacteristic tolerance.

As well, never any concern for the adverse health implications to women, of outlawing abortion.

Pro-life? On this matter that term is too general. Pro-birth is the more suitable description.

I think that the big issue in this story has been obscurred by the latest gaffe. Obama's real motive for going to Irag is to find some justification to change his policy to be more middle of the road.

Now that the war in Iraq has been won, he needs to find some way to change his policy of a 16 month troop withdrawal. Military advisors have already informed his camp that a withdrawal plan of 16 months is not possible without leaving military equipment in the country. A three to five year withdrawal plan is more feasible.

Shortly after Obama returns from his Iraqi visit, he will change his policy to be more in line with common sense. The MSM will provide the cover for his policy shift, perhaps even suggesting that he is flexible and is able to consult with and work with international leaders, etc, etc; meanwhile, the real story of his bad judgement which lead to such a foolish policy decision of a 16 month troop withdrawal will be hidden.

Kate, I have a suggestion. Obama has changed policy so often and so frequently - and I am predicting another one is forthcoming - that you may want to consider dividing your Obama threads into 2 categories. Keep your existing subheading "Is there nothing that Obama can't do?" for many of your threads and use something like:
"Can we notice Obama's policy changes? - Yes, we can"
for any threads covering all the policy shifts.

"WE are NOT the ones who support killing little babies" - some right-wing rube

Who was the U.S. President when Saddam was gassing the Kurds?

He received U.S. military and financial support prior to and FOLLOWING this genocide.

You should avoid absolute assertions in your future diatribes.

Who was the U.S. President when Saddam was gassing the Kurds?

Made it all the more our responisiblity to remove him then, didn't it? The UN tried with their "Money for the Politically Connected to the UN", I mean "Oil for Food", how did that work out? No one else could do it. Iraq is now a sovereign country, less one cold war relic brutal dicatory.

"Made it all the more our responisiblity to remove him then, didn't it?"

And not a moment too soon, well within the two decade window for attaching responsibilty. If you hadn't acted when you did, old age might have got him.

Even MSNBC is reporting on how our own Canadian, Patrick Moore has the right idea on Nuclear Power Generation and how BO is out to lunch.

Tell me, in the last few decades, how many times did our beloved CBC have Patrick Moore on the tube ? Suzuki ??

"Surely you believe that judging a man's competency by his race is wrong. Then how is it right to refuse to judge a man's competency because of his race? "

What a bunch of BS. I work at an engineering office with 300+ employees, and that means I work with allot of minorities.

American politics have been discussed lately and I have asked people of all persuations if race has any bearing on who they would vote for. Among people who are not white, 100% of the people I've asked said that they would definatly vote for someone who is not white if given the chance, perferable someone of their own race. People do not attempt to hide this fact, it is fallacy to believe that everyone will judge you on merit, minorities hate white people period. Teaching our children that society is color blind is hurting our kids, they must know the truth.

We have nothing to fear from Obama WRT forign policy and whom he might meet with, HE WILL BE LATE and probable miss all meetings. I doubt he will even show up for work.

"HE WILL BE LATE and probable miss all meetings. I doubt he will even show up for work."

And you wonder why we dispise you.

The New York Times OKs an editorial by Obama but not one by John.

[An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES -- less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.]

Drudge published MacCains though - no wonder the MSM is in a death spiral.

http://www.drudgereport.com/flashnym.htm

hypocritic,
Apparently you have forgiven him fully. Good luck with that line of argument.

On Obama,
Aparently, despite the fact that everybody thinks he is going to be president, most Americans believe he will be a lousy one.

"Is there nothing that Obama can't do?"

As he exits the Mideast on his way to Europe I wonder if the MSM media will report the phenomenon BHO has left behind: vast crowds of people standing around at night, in the areas surrounding Bethlehem, peering into the eastern sky, hoping for a qlimpse of a new star.

His Achilles' heel:

Adam C., Obama, Islam and Polling

There is no difference in support for McCain among Rs who think Obama is Muslim and Rs who think he is Christian. Their support for McCain is identical regardless of their view about Obama's religion.

However, support for Obama among Ds who think he is Muslim is 28 points lower than among Ds who think he is Christian...

Jennifer Rubin, The Un-Reagan

That is also why the comparison and attempt to grab on to Reagan-esque rhetoric and imagery is so silly. Yes, Reagan was inspiring and uplifting, but he was inspiring and uplifting because of what he said and the ideas he espoused. He would no more utter gibberish like “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek” than declare Communism to be just an alternative political system. There was perhaps no president in our lifetimes who had so painstakingly developed and explained his philosphy of government than Reagan. He was the un-Obama...

Perhaps I did not make my point well. A quick analogy: race is hardware, culture is software. Race cannot be retroactively chosen, therefore no one should ever be judged by it. Culture, on the other hand...

It is far too easy to conflate race with culture, since so much of one's culture is often based on determining ones identity by defining the 'other' and racial characteristics are a quick and sloppy way to do it. I don't think B. H. Obama is 'uppity'. I do think he is an elitist boob, and this has absolutely nothing to do with who his parents were. I resent being told that my objections to his apparent lack of capabilities is because I am racist.

"Can we notice Obama's policy changes? - Yes, we can"

After 2nd thought:

"Policy changes we can believe in? - Yes, we can"

Nicola Timmerman (sorry for the long delay), in regards to "pro-life", I DID qualify it as a ventured guess that MOST SDAers would be "pro-life". For the record, I can support abortion up to about 14-15 weeks, which is about the youngest that I have ever heard of a premmie surviving outside the womb...women still get their "choice", but it is time-limited (pregnancy is time-limited anyway)...and all babies that would have a fighting chance outside the womb are saved. If a woman is too stupid to realize that they are pregnant or to make a decision in 14-15 weeks, then too friggin' bad.

As for Morgentalers meme, please explain how right-wingers don't support education and please provide clear examples. I don't believe your vapid claim. I suppose you'll hang your hat on not supporting government-run daycare (bureaucratic nanny-state warehousing and indoctrination)...I'd try to explain why I don't support it but I'm sure you wouldn't listen or understand.

And hypocritic...my, what convoluted "logic" you have. An AMERICAN president didn't stop Saddam from gassing Kurds and that makes this CANADIAN right-winger a baby-killer? I have no answer to that that would penetrate your tinfoil hat.

According to Mac the biggest problem right now is along the Iraq/Pakistan border.

More minor speaking errors, big deal.

Don't worry right of center, he will just "order the joint chiefs of staff" to close it down... err wait, no, that was Obama who betrayed a complete lack of knowledge or understanding of the chain of military command he hopes to head. But I am pretty sure you never heard that before except from right wing commenters. But Obama apparently feels he can reorder the military command and override Congress's will on the matter with a stroke of the pen.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/07/obama_ignorance_watch_what_do.asp

By the way Kate, check out the picture.

Obama keeps making his mistakes in the understanding of his own country and the office that he seeks.

There are a lot of speaking gaffs the MSM doesnt run with.

I could be wrong but there was little fuss made over Mac's confusion between Sunni and Shia.

"I resent being told that my objections to his apparent lack of capabilities is because I am racist."

One must not worry if a racist calls you a racist, this is what I was trying to express in my post. After I realized that minorities (women incl.) would not vote for McCain because he is an "old white guy" I decided to change my strategy. I realized that only white males seem to have been indoctrinated to choose or judge a person by merit not by race. Since only white men seem to practice this, we are putting ourselves at a disadvantage; therefore, when I was asked about Billery I would just simply say "If I can't trust her behind the wheel, how can she run a company" and for Barak I simply just recite a black stereotype and say "I can't vote for that!". The looks I get are priceless, I guess their own medicine doesn't taste very good.
