Anyone paying attention knew Obama represented no change in foreign policy.

Ron Paul, Kucinich, and Mike Gravel would have made a difference. Its a shame people dont research voting records.

We need Kucinich here to change the mindset.

Phyllis knows what she's talking about...

The American version of SOFA has yet to be revealed and may create problems in near future.

I fear nothing and no one. Fear does nothing for no one. Peace is what we need, but truly do not have. Unfortunately not everyone can say that. Mainly because the seeds of fear are planted throughout the worldwide government controlled media. So dude, there are no attempts on my behalf in relevance to your word of "try". Fear doesn't exist within me. No ego, simply a fact.

[EricOerinToo]

Try to have less fear in your life. Peace

Remove your blindfolds!!! QUESTION YOUR REALITY!!! Ask yourself the simple question of "WHY?" every once in a while. DON'T BE CONFORMISTS, DON'T SETTLE FOR THE SHEEPLE FEED THEY DELIVER TO US. DO NOT ACCEPT, SIMPLY BECAUSE. TOGETHER THE ANTS CAN TAKE DOWN THE ELEPHANT!! EXPAND YOUR LIMITS OF POSSIBILITY TO WHAT REALLY MAY BE POSSIBLE. INSTEAD OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND DELIBERATELY BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE AS BEING POSSIBLE. THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!! FOR YOURSELF!!! FOR!!!! YOUR!!!! SELF!!!!!

pfft, they got into Afghanistan and Iraq for PROFIT, and it's the reason they are staying!

Obama's "change" has nothing to do with pragmatism!

[EricOerinToo]

The change that Obama campaigned on was away from GW Bush. He has by appointing Hillary, signaled his predilection to policing terrorism rather than warring against it. It is important to note that Afghanistan is about supporting a nation state in its efforts to become democratic. Confronting terrorism is a secondary though important role. Indeed much of the policing of terrorism will need to take place on the border and across the border in Pakistan. This is pragmatic change.

Change only on the face and color:)from Money face White trash,, to Black messiah :)

[KevZen2000]

Presidents are puppets,they do not run anything.The military will work for the banks and corporations.The war economy is the future.People will be slaves to the banks interest on the money they print it,unless people get back to the government printing the money and not the private banks like the Federal Reserve.

I'm not sure if anyone other than yourself got that (joke?). Care to explain what you mean?

You are "asleep at the wheel".

Sorry.
