I know a lot of FReepers were shocked that Rush just discovered this when it was on FR for months. However, I must confess I saw that thread a million times and never viewed the vid. We know he does read FR because he sometimes does segments in the same order as we post articles here. Hi Rush! ;)

a blank canvas on which to project the world's longings.”

is he really a blank canvas? He has set out a far left agenda, bordering on socialism. All of his peers, his friends, financiers, spiritual advisers, are all radical lefties. I see him quite clearly for who he is, and I don;t like what I see!

Out of curiosity, have you ever known a president-elect to want to charge a previous president with crimes, before this? It seems that with the continual degradation of our country, the more bizarre things become. I wouldn’t think that any new president would feel he has the right to do such a thing.

Here's all Barack Obama has to do to meet the world's expectations if he's elected president of the United States:

End an unpopular war in Iraq, heal misery in nations hit by the global food crisis and stop global warming in addition to building bridges to Muslim countries and reverse the unilateralist approach of the Bush administration.

Jimmy Carter brought change:
* The Panama Canal changed hands from the US to Panama.
* Iran changed its regime to an islamist fundamentalist terrorist state that threatens the US, Europe, Israel, and the Straights of Hormuz.
* Our energy policy changed to “put on a sweater and drive less”
* The tax code changed, when rates were increased.
Central America changed when Carter supported leftist revolutionaries.
* Even Zimbabwe changed when Carter supported Mugabe.

Afghanistan changed when the Soviets invaded.
