(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[Dave Williams]

Yes, um, just to say...
I agree. This man is special. I wish him luck with war, economy, peace; he certainly needs good fortune. He's a fine speaker. He has style and looks as good as he sounds. These characteristics are important and will help him solve some big problems. He also has some great people working very hard for him. I'm not as negative as Joseph on this and not as positive as you. We need more leaders like him. The kind of change, you, Joseph, imply, is impossible. We should be realistic, not naive. 
 
Cheers,

Love you Mike , but I think it was  a bunch of little lies packaged around a big lie. The Big lie is that we were somehow liberating or helping Iraq. After killing half a million children through sanctions we proceeded to kill between a half a million and a million non combatants by dropping bombs everywhere and facilitating a giant civil war between Sunni and Shia, also driving millions out of the country. Got the oil contracts though. Thank the Good Lord for that. As far as the consistent heroism of US Troops: Abu Graibh, helicopter hunting  of anyone who runs, raping teenage girls then executing them. Now Obama has presided over the escalation of mindless violence in Afghanistan. He is a big wimp, a gutless coward,  a  professional pimp for banksters and hired killers. Other than that he does have nice manners and a noble and lofty gaze into the distance. He can also  talk without the wire feed into his ear.
