AJ sheffield   11 #13 Posted November 5, 2008 Personally i feel an unease about obama, cant put my finger on it, but something just doesnt feel right, perhaps it is my belief that with him in power, alqaeda will feel that now is the time to increase their terrorist activities, to test out the new president.  No doubt China and Russia will be testing him out too.

mr contrite   10 #14 Posted November 5, 2008 No doubt China and Russia will be testing him out too.   No doubt, but it is more than likely to be sabre rattling rather than direct action, countries such as China and Russia know the consequences of direct action, whereas al qaeda dont care.

Do you feel that Obama might be a soft touch or just that they would like to test the water as it were? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #19 Posted November 5, 2008 Whatever the rest of the world thought of Bush they knew he wouldn't take no s***.  He's caused more a hell of a lot more sh*t than he's taken.  I'm not sure that the Yanks have realised just what they've done. On the contrary - I think they realise exactly what they've done and I hope and believe that history will prove them right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jezzyjj   10 #21 Posted November 5, 2008 As with any other world leader, they were welcomed with open arms when they were first elected, but within a few years they get demoted to moron status and the names start....Title of thread is interesting as that's a pretty good description of McCain and his phisog. Slack jawed idiot was apt even before not winning. See links below.  http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/08/29/08.29.08.mccain.tongue.jpg  My worry is that although Obama is better than the alternative, he remind me of how and when Bliar first got elected. So lets hope he doesn't go the same way and become worse than what he appeared to oppose and end up being more of a gun toting warmongerer than Bush.

Al-Qaeda would have loved McCain or another Bush clone in office as he has been their greatest recruitment tool of the past 7 years! America the Great Satan? Look no futher than Bush.

mr contrite   10 #23 Posted November 5, 2008 Is it because he's black and he doesn't fit with your world view.  Nothing to do with colour, that would have been easy for me to say, but in this case no, its just something about him, his campaign and his attitude, plus the adoration he seems to recieve from americans, i watched Oprah Winfrey cheering at his victory, yet she is one who will be hit hardest by his taxation plans, strange reaction from some.

We haven't seen that from a president for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
