KURTIN POSTS:

Did you forget that Clinton went centrist after he got into office or that he had Republican congress as majority?

While Obama is taking on some of Clinton's crowd and expected to move centrist in some areas, he has Pelosi, Reid, Waxmen, and Maxine Waters to contend with...are they your kind of liberal people?

Seems to me like a "progressive" appointment, i.e. done so that liberals perceive change. Never mind his sexuality, I do not see him as particularly competent; at least not more so than any other random bishop.

I didn't know that Billy Graham was religious adviser to Presidents, but I do think he is as good an adviser as the President could get.

Exactly....but progressing towards what?

You misunderstood me. I put "progressive" in quotes. I don't expect any progress into any direction from Obama.

He is an unremarkable politician with no achievements whatsoever. His sole differentiation is his skin colour.

Gene Robinson, from what I have read, is also entirely unremarkable. His sexual orientation is the only differentiator between him and hundreds of other boring bishops.

The election and this appointment seem to be very much about a perception of change, not actual change.

Thank G-d.

I understand your point, but I thought your using the word "progressive" fit. It has nothing to do with his lack of acheivements or skin color...he's not a new kind of politician, that's for sure. Because Obama is first and foremost a typical radical left wing liberal Democrat on economics, the environment, centralizing public health, appointing judges, favoring abortion and sodomy, progress is about advancing these. In this regard, ObamaLand will bring "change" all right...but not "new change". It will be a pick up of FDRoosevelt's New Deal "entitlement" policies, and moving those (progress) into Socialism by way of unions which will regulate the work force.  

Of Obama is able to make good on all his campaign promises regarding abortion and sodomy, Obamaland's progression will be towards the sewer and not the stars and to borrow Judge Bork's book title, slouching towards Gommorrah.  

I think so too.  The only change is that we have a black man as President.  At least that's it so far.  That and he's gone to this Gene Robinson instead of a mainstream Pastor like all the Presidents before him.  I think we're getting into very dangerous territory when we are putting people in positions based on emotion or the externals instead of ability and the internals. 

I read in today's paper about the India Terrorist Situation.  Big article in our paper this morning.  In the article there was mention that President-elect Obama has been informed of all the happenings over there.  Not one word about Bush. 

I've never seen anything like this.  The old folks are saying the same.  In none of their years have they seen such an agressive President-elect.  Usually you hear very little if anything before the inauguration from or about the newly elected President to be. 

It's a terrible tragedy. I just hope that India is wise enough to act appropriately and not just take it like Spain did.

I am convinced, btw, that India will do the right thing. India is not stupid and wants to be a world power. And they don't have whining liberals complaining that it is all their own fault if other people kill children for fun.

India bought lots of weapons and military expertise from Israel in the last few years. And in the last few years India and the US came closer too. The prime minister is a Sikh. The Sikh know what they are doing and are willing to fight. India's last president also lead them the way (and he was a Muslim), building up the space program, missile programs, and military co-operation with Israel.

India is ready.

If the USA and Britain become unable to act, hopefully India will show the arrogant British and the liberal Americans what can be done!

I don't know much about India and their politics but I'm guessing I'm about to find out. 

I don't believe there is anyone in the world who has been unaffected by the Muslim Terror that has now been agressively waged with more ferocity than ever.
