Seriously speaking, maybe he's now learned privileged information that we don't know (and should be glad we dont), which opened his eyes.

It's great that he doesnt rule out diplomacy. It's also great that he learns and changes, if that's the reason for this change. And it's extra great with a cherry that he's just proved he cares about America first and last.

Which negates all the Obama bashers' slurs about "weak" and "naive" and "traitor" and "closet terrorist," etc.

Come on guys, admit it....

Well, I don't really like Obama, but "everything" includes talking.

He hasn't learned any priviliged information. He is either pandering to the Jewish community or one of his aids has been whispering Foreign Policy 101 in his ear. That's exactly what we can expect form an Obama presidency - empty rhetoric and on-the-job training. He is a typical politician, and to boot, he is one that doesn't have the experience for the job.

Obama saying he's now been to 57 states with two to go is priceless. . . . these are the same libs gleefully discussing Bush's IQ and Quayle's spelling.

Now, I like Canada, don't get me wrong. Real pretty up there. But in a dogfight against Iran, I'd say Iran would laugh, call Canada a big pu*sy, slap 'er up real nice, and take over...and Canada would have to bend over and enjoy it, because Canada simply would not be prepared for it.

I don't want America to ever be like that, but if the folks in this country who have the rose-colored glasses on (that would be the under-30 sect and the extreme liberals) don't take them off once in a while to really listen to what is going on, we'll be opening ourselves up to a rather bad situation.

Boywithastick, you'd be wise to not come to this forum with that chip on your shoulder. You'll either be ignored or laughed at by those with some sense about them. People here like facts, not ignorantly-made comments peppered with immature bravado such as "Just wait and see" and "Who do you think you are". Otherwise, people might take your name literally and think you're posting from some www.inserthighschoolnamehere.edu library.
Paranoid much? You sound like Dr. Strangelove. Also, when you refer to Canada as a ***** in which Iran slaps "her" up real nice and Canada has to bend over and "enjoy" it makes you sound both misogynistic and homophobic. The United States is not Canada and never will be Canada. Let's not forget who has nukes here. It's the United States. Let's not forget who has emboldened Iran by toppling Saddam in Iraq. Ding ding ding, that would be the Bush administration.
It's the Bush administration who has weakened our military strength overall. Instead of fighting and winning in Afghanistan solely, the Bush administration went after Saddam in Iraq which has left us losing two wars.

I won't even dignify your last paragraph with a response.

Anyone with a brain knows he meant 47 states.

We've spent the last 7.5 years listening to people tell us what Bush really meant. I thought Obama would be different.

Days, maybe? Hezbollah has been quiet in Lebanon for a couple of weeks and Hamas hasn't been in the news lately. Who knows how many weapons they have trasferred over to Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon recently.
