They’re seeing a weak president who can be taken advantage of. Whether you like it or not, there are groups of Muslims around the world who think of him as one of their own and are dreaming of the spread of radical Islam. When they find out that he’s in this for himself and only himself, what’s going to happen?

I disagree. People around the world are happy because they have hope that the USA will lead the world in a good direction. I speak to many people around here and you should see how excited they are about Obama. And it’s never because he is weak. It’s always because he is inspiring and because they have faith that he will repair some of the damage done by Bush.

BB, remember the first rule of foreign relations. Of course they’d approve of him 4:1. They’re seeing a weak president who can be taken advantage of. Whether you like it or not, there are groups of Muslims around the world who think of him as one of their own and are dreaming of the spread of radical Islam.

I’d say it would be the Republican Party that elects the first woman president. Obama is the Democrat Party’s standard bearer now and he’s about as sexist as they come. I know Obama’s just get started on his cabinet but it’s not looking too good since all he has appointed so far are white guys, no women or blacks, not even Raines and the names being floated around for some of the positions don’t auger well for diversity in the White House.

But then again, the goal of the Democrat Party is to destroy the Republican Party so there may never be a woman president.

McCain supported a pro amnesty bill. I fail to see how him getting elected would make any real difference with respect to immigration. Plus, with the amount of Latino vote the GOP got, I think that even if they had won, they would have more towards a more pro amnesty side.

As for your question “because if immigration laws are not going to be enforced why should they pay for higher wage workers?”, I would say that people can be patriots and respect rules even when they are not actively enforced.

I’ve yet to find a clear factual enumeration of his failures with the exception of two: the failed immigration bill and the no child left behind act and guess what? Ted Kennedy wrote both of them.

On the other hand, people all over the world are celebrating Obama’s win but Russia had the most special message:
Russia to Obama: Move to the Back of the Bus

I guess Obama forgot the first rule of foreign policy: Every country is out for its own interests and screw the rest of the world. One wonders what they think they’ll be able to get away with when Obama is in charge, considering how much they are celebrating the fact.

White House Cabinet Appointments

Not only are they all Washington insiders and have been part of the establishment forever, they’re all white. So far, the only black man offered anything was Colin Powell which I believe was a position offered because they knew he would turn it down: Secretary of Education. Who, in their right mind would expect him to be a Secretary of Education when he’s imminently qualified for far better positions and not at all for that one?

Not even sworn in and he’s crusing dreams all over the left, except for the Washington insiders. On top of that he killed affirmative action. Can’t argue for it when you’re not only president but couldn’t be bothered to appoint anything but white guys to your cabinet.
