Afshin Rattansi talks to Joshua Frank about Obama's Cabinet

[angelsaints00]

This network sucks. Who wrote his transcript? Probably that guy with the probes coming out of his stomach.

[straightchris]

Obama: the black face of corporate America.

Americans are now proud to be American and black people can walk tall, instant gratification for people with no choice, Obama, big deal.

[jonah70757]

We are getting Change! Yeah Right! Different paint job! Same Shit differenmt flavor!

[jonah70757]

Same shit different flavor! Just a different paint job is what america just got!

[Strontium9T]

Sooo . . . where's all this change I've been hearing so much about? I guess it's politics as usual. McCain would have ushered in more change than these people.

[Hesam0000]

This is a change from republican to democrat but the real change will be both Reps and Dems totally OUT of government and replaced by individuals who care about the people not corporations, money, their "buddies" and their party.

McCain would have attacked Iran and would start WWIII, at least now we don't have a dumb, bitter, old warmonger in power.

[Strontium9T]

With the appointment of Rahm Emmanuel, Obama has already alienated the muslim world, and he hasn't even taken office yet. In fact, he's surrounding himself with Clinton cronies that are from an age best left forgotten.

No we don't have a dumb, bitter, old warmonger in power. We have a young one. Like I said, it's politics as usual.

[Hesam0000]

Rahm Emmanuel is Jewish, he has even served in Israeli army as a mechanic but we don't know his beliefs yet. Obama is not dumb, he's a Harvard lawyer with a sharp mind he has also lived overseas where cultures are different so he knows how other nations think. Don't forget, Jews, specially zionist, pro-Israel jews have great influence in America and Obama thinks he should keep them on his side so he visited AIPAC & hired Emmanuel, a moderate, smart jew.

In any case it's too soon to judge him.

[jonah70757]

You must be one of those poor disillusioned Messiah followers! Yeah Right! Wake Up!

[Hesam0000]

You're off on that by about 180 degrees. :)

Or could it be because you didn't read what I wrote carefully?

[jonah70757]

So you really believe there are less chances of Iran being attacked? That there will be less war? You did call McCain a warmonger right? Implying Obama's team isn't? Look at the appointments and look at handlers of Obama. Obama is a Bilderberg puppet.

[Hesam0000]

Yes, there is less risk than with McCain.

But, having known that still 4 facts trouble me:

1. Obama is related to Cheney

2. Obama did AIPAC initiation

3. Obama hired an Ex-Israeli army man as his chief of staff

4. Obama continued the same Bush threats on Iran regarding stopping their enrichment for nuclear-fuel-independence that Iran won't let go.

On the other hand I believe his being a lawyer has to do with it. He wants to keep Israel happy while he resolves the issues with Iran.

[Hesam0000]

By the way Bilderberg group are Zionist Jews and pro-nazis neither of whom would accept a black man like Obama as "One of them", no matter how much brown-nosing to Israelis he does, and I'm sure Obama is well aware of that.

[jonah70757]

True they are the bigest racsists on the planet, and as such they are a scourge to the rest of humanity. However, They will use him for their purposes. Remember they control the press and the press sung praises for Obama 24/7! Also the weekend of June 5th 2008 Obama sneaked away secretly to the Bilderberg meeting that weekend. It was apparent then that was their man. Iran is still in grave danger.

[Hesam0000]

1 fact makes me feel safe about Iran attack. The fact is that if US attacks Iran,Israel will be eliminated by the combined forces of Iran, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Hamas not to mention Russia/Venezuela/Saudi/Jordan/­Egypt help when it comes to choose between Iran & Israel. And Israel knows that. That's why israel hasn't attemped bombing of Iranian nuclear plants as it did in Syria.

I think Obama is trying to make all sides happy anyway he can but long-term he'll do the right thing.

[angelsaints00]

This network really sucks.

[Sebastianburg]

Obama = Clinton Dynarsty V2.0

Maybe, the US as a nation has run out of poeple capable of handling international affairs.

What a pity!

[truthlovver]

all you stupid naive idiots who took obama's mantra of "change we can believe" and "I am above politics" will perhaps wake up a little now.

Hillary, you are the best, the most intelligetnt, the most diplomatically savvy, and a woman. HILLARY! HILLARY! HILLARY!
