Mr. Norm

Obama.

Who is he?

What are his qualifications to lead the United States of America in these most turbulent times?

What is his record of distinction in either his former position as an Illinois State senator or currently as a US senator.

He wrote a book. Big deal, there are lots of books written.

He appeared on Oprah!

He's a Democrat.

He's half white and half African.

He is not Hillary Clinton.

He has big ears and a toothy grin.

He's a Democrat.

He is against the war in Iraq.

He is not Hillary Clinton.

When he gives a speech it sounds like the same old one political cliche after another mumbo jumbo and the liberal media tells us he is brilliant.

He is a Democrat.

When asked a question about his inexperience he gets defensive and accusatorial and oftens winds up stumbling on his words.

He is not Hillary Clinton.

He is from the land of Lincoln.

He is a Democrat.

He states that all Americans will have health care by the end of his first term as president. but can not state how he will come up with the trillions of dollars to fund it.

He is not Hillary Clinton.

He has no public record in the Senate.

He is a Democrat.

He is not Hillary Clinton.

He doesn't have a chance in hell of getting the nomination.

Mebbe, but the Democratic ticket will be:

Gore / Obama.

You heard it here first.

If the cop told you that the radar had not been calibrated, take that to court. It should be good for a walk.

To the best of your knowledge, you were not speeding. Your eyes were on the road and the traffic, not the speedo, so you can't be sure, exactly.

Dress nice, say yes sir and no sir.

This ought to get you if not a complete walk, at least a supervision or whatever they call it in your state.

So far, the IPD links have held up for almost a year, far longer than I ever got from OEM.

I think that the characterazation of Volvo owners was much more true 25 years ago when somebody thought it up than now.

But.... you ever write magazine articles regularly? I have and Gawd do you get desparate sometimes for a 'hook' to hang the story on. This author probably wasn't too creative that day and just worked from the old stereotype.

How would you like to be an editor for a Consumer Electronics magazine and realize that your free lance author wrote their article from manufacturer's spec sheets? That is, no hands on experience with the product at all, never even saw the product in the flesh. Welcome to the world of the freelance magazine article writer.

Boxy, but good.

Wanna bet he duzn't live 5 years? Execution makes him a martyr, which is what he wanted. Now he will die a slow agonizing death due to cancer. Wait and see, you heard it here first.

Is having a president who understands the military the most important criteria for electing a new leader?

Only if they wish to remain alive!

Just read this for a philosophy class. Pretty enlightening I'd say.

Yup, a fine book. Remember, History is written by the winners!

lol, this is the biggest bunch of bullshti i have ever read. No offense to the writer, but you have no idea what you are talking about. There is no way in hel that you are going to say that the japanese were worse then the germans or vise versa. Too much too type but i can prove u wrong really easily.

Oh really now, just how much history have you studied?

Read 'The Rape of Nanking' and 'The Yamato Dynasty' and then lets talk. Believe me, all sorts of Japanese war crimes were ignored in the name of stopping communism. Besides, much of the population of the US cared a lot more about what happened in Europe cuz their ancestors came from there.

It ain't bullsheet and I do know what I am talking about. Just what are your credentials as a historian?

A. History is written by the winners. Any thought of a real Japanese Nuremburg type of war crime trials was ditched by the desire to keep post-war Japan from going communist. Only a few enemies of the surviving ruling faction were killed, mostly for political and personal gain.

B. Germany embraced responsibility for their actions, Japan consistenly denies theirs. The former mayor of Nagasaki was killed by a member of a veterans group for apoligizing for the rape of Nanking (there's a book to read). Much of Japan denies to this day the atrocities, war crimes and aggression they commited. Are you aware that Japanese history books teach that the U.S. started the war in the Pacific with Japan?

C. American history classes and texts have been rigged since day one to enhance the image of America. You will read almost nothing about our acts of genocide against native Americans or our own imperialism.

Keep searching for knowledge, don't be a typical American!
