hi taskr. ok, while i generally agree with you on the human rights stuff the families of suicide bombers aren't terrorists.

this thing about obama (which i presume means his party) receiving money from saudi is an odd story and i am still not sure why this is the first time i have seen it. it is the kind of thing you would certainly pick up on so can you solve the mystery of what this story really was?

i doubt it. in fact i am amazed i haven't seen this assertion before, even if only a rumour i would have assumed it would have been all over the playground continuously

Yes, of course. My source is the Jerusalem Post.www.jpost.com
I saw the title "Manchurian candidate" in a French newspaper.
I would like to paste the articles but I have to wait to be 500.

erm, where in this publication is this story - that link just takes you to the homepage.

You know what jb7800, I haven't found that article as well, I'd sure like to know.

Dear lichee,
It is so good to have news from China ! My parents were born in Shanghai, because my grand parents were fleeing from the Nazis. After Pearl Harbour in December 1941, all my family were forced into a Japanese Concentration Camp, until Hiroshima and Nagazaki. I don't think China should be afraid od the Dalai Lama. He is not a Muslim terrorist, is a very peacefull man.If Obama wants to be friend with the Dalai Lama, it doesn't mean China has to leave Tibet. After all, China has the biggest army in the world, and has the right to have Occupied Territories.

"Good job on getting the US soldiers out of Iraq"
He didn't do it. Not only are there still plenty there, there will be for years to come. I'm no Bush fan..believe me..but the success in Iraq was IN SPITE OF Obama rather than because of anything he did. He didn't do anything but take over a plan already in execution.

trisha - we are still trying to find out what the story on the saudi money really is. x - do you know?

@xfahctor I know he hasn't done it yet, but hopefully he sticks to what he said he was planning on doing that I heard like sometime next year if I am correct. I am not sure. He hasn't done much of anything, so I really don't know. I'm actually more of a Bush fan then an Obama fan. I'm not really happy at whats been going on here which is nothing.

@jb78000 nope I have no idea sorry.

well i am not in the states but i thought i would have heard about this if true. or indeed if not but still a well reported rumour. beginning to suspect there is nothing to this story at all.

Trish... what I'm saying is "what he was planning" is what was already in place, only he didn't plan it, it was already in place and underway before he even became president. I have to at least give Bush credit for pulling something out of his arse there. By the way, lol, your awfull brave admitting to being a bush fan here. Personaly I vote libertarian, independant or constitution party now.

Rabbit.... I remember hearing about this quite a while back...I think I had responded to a well sourced post on it....but that was right after the elections.

so what was the story? and if by 'well sourced' you mean 'linked to burbles' then i will shoot you

@xfahctor lol, yeah I guess I am brave. Now, I'll admit, even though I think he's was pretty much an okay president, I still don't agree with some of the stuff he did.

Ah, so it really wasn't Obama's plan it was already going into effect for them to get out. I thought...well I guess I heard wrong lol.

And so well in the end of it all, really Obama hasn't done much to impress me yet and I'm not voting for him. I didn't vote for him this time around and I won't next time around unless he make some big changes and even then, I don't know.

@jb7800 huh, you know what I'm sure I would have heard about it as well. I'm sure it would have been all over the news, here at least. I looked into the discussion above and saw that website and I too was on the search for that article speaking of him getting money from them.

we have a mystery. i hate it when this happens in here - i start to get really interested in what a story really was and it turns out nobody knows. my next job (when i have finished being a tabloid reporter in the uk and making up, sorry, researching, ridiculous scandals) is to be an investigative journalist in your country. or maybe not.

oh and yes it was brave to say something nice about bush. if you really want to be foolhardy i recommend starting a discussion in this section saying bush and obama are both ok people, even if you don't agree with what they do/did, and neither is, in actual fact, hitler. wear a bullet proof vest.

@jb back briefly (today only) from my sabbatical. As a couple of people on MyLot did state fairly clearly that Hitler wasn't so bad really (something you also hear from neo-Fascists like the BNP in every European country except Germany - where they know the truth), it logically follows that both Bush and Obama could be like Hitler and at the same time not be so bad either.

The only problem I then have is that the same people who were telling us that Hitler was not so bad really, are also telling me that Obama is that bad, so somewhere the logic doesn't work.

The actual truth (logical or not), of course is that Bush and Obama were/are not that bad (if not that competent) while Hitler was thoroughly evil. How I can get that logic over on MyLot remains an important question, as a lot of people in the US will not believe it, so I will need the rest of my sabbatical to work it out.

I remember when Obama was elected there was this euphoria about him. I was surprise to see a picture of Obama on a cross with that question : do you think President Obama is the Messiah ? And today I discovered this joke in a Yahoo Group, it is only a joke, don't take it seriously.
It is the story of a young captain who fought with US Army in Iraq. He wants to be a CIA agent. After 6 months of tests, he is accepted for an interview. The CIA officer tells him : Captain if you want to be a CIA agent you will have to kill 7 democratic senators, President Obama, and a rabbit. Why the rabbit ? That is a very good answer, you can begin to work tomorrow morning.
Why is Obama compared to JFK.
