Re: Obama Advisor cites Winnie the Pooh as guide to US security
Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.
Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: 'Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.'

Man, when you think his stance on foreign policy cant get any worse, it does. Winnie the Pooh is gonna be this country's inspiration as we fight the "war on terror" and potentially World War III in the coming years?
No thanks.
Re: Obama Advisor cites Winnie the Pooh as guide to US security
Found another Obama mention, but I'll just post it in this thread instead of starting a new one...
Barack Obama said Thursday at a fundraiser in Chicago that the GOP is trying to make him and his wife Michelle appear "scary" and "too black."
"They're going to try to make me into a scary guy. They're even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?" Obama said at an event in the Hyde Park area, according to CNN.
Obama said Republicans were trying to start a drumbeat questioning Obama's patriotism and whether he is "too black."
"I don't know, before I wasn't black enough," Obama said. The Illinois senator then suggested Republicans might say, "'now he might be too black.'
Playing the race card already??
I'm starting to wonder if its even possible for the democratic party to win the presidency again.

Why not? We've all been hunting the heafalump for years now.
Re: Obama Advisor cites Winnie the Pooh as guide to US security
The first part (Winnie the Poo analogy) was a pretty terrible analogy to make. But I'd have to view his credentials to judge his character & abilities. I don't have a problem with the second statements, all he said was "They're going to try to make me into a scary guy. They're even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right? I don't know, before I wasn't black enough," It's the author which states things like ""scary" and "Too Black"" putting the individual words into their own context. I don't think Obama would play the race card, he's already got the black vote, so his goal is to attract the white vote.
I just heard Charlie Crist would accept off-shore drilling in Fla, something residents adamantly oppose siince the beaches & tourism is basically Floridas only economy. Hope McCain doesn't choose him as VP, he could lose the state.
Politics aside, I'm pretty concerned the stock markets going to take a dive soon. I have a 401k, not alot but some. And I follow it. Every quater corporations have to report their earnings, since 6/30 is the end of a quarter, they have until July 15th to report them. If they are all bad, the market could crash. We'll see, hopefully it isn't all that bad. With high oil & gas prices, people may not be buying alot of stuff (Computers, Cars, Best Buy etc) causing stocks to normally plummet.

James, this should help answer if a democrat ever wins again.
"The Quinnipiac survey shows Obama now leading 47-43 among likely voters in Florida, a state analysts have been assuming will go to McCain given its large naval presence and concentrations of Jewish and elderly voters. The Obama campaign itself has outlined to donors a path to the presidency that omits Florida and Ohio.
The poll also shows Obama ahead in Ohio 48-42, and in Pennsylvania a strong 52-40, a state where Obama has clearly struggled to connect with bowlers and waffle eaters.
In all three states, it is women giving Obama the big lift, while McCain is banking on men, repeating the pattern of past elections and mollifying concerns that Clinton supporters would abandon Democrats."
I wonder where those women supporting Obama came from? Hmmm.
