Why on Earth would a U.S. president want oppressed people in dictatorships to see a picture of himself (or herself) smiling and grinning with a butcher of the people?

You DO realize that the CIA takes great pains to ensure that the president and first lady are NOT photographed near dictators at international events where said dictators are present, right?
Well son, that needs to change. Obama will meet with these people, and hopefully set up something between the US and them.

Obama reminds me of a "snake-oil salesman"' who can sell anything, even snow to Eskimos. Today, his wife let the cat out of the bag, with her admission of not being proud of America, until now. It frightens me to think of her as the First Lady. God forbid!
Go Hillary!

Uh, I'm not a young man. "Teatime" should be a giveaway as to my gender. You've indicated here that you are a young male so "son" is appropriate and I was trying to be kind.

But, hate to tell you, if Obama should get elected (saints preserve us), the CIA won't let him go down that very stupid road. It would be one of the first campaign promises he'd have to break. Giving official, presidential recognition to despots would cause big problems. Why don't you ask one of your Social Studies teachers about it?

I voted yesterday. It was an informed vote, but I am still glad that I don't have to think about it any more (until November). I believe Obama and McCain will take Texas on March 5.

Me too! But don't forget, you still have to think about it! You've got to do the "Texas Two-Step" (cheesy but effective, lol) and caucus for Obama on the 4th!

Default I Agree Vote for Obama and Not for Hilary who is in Communist China's Pocket!

I will vote for Obama. He is Genuine and truly cares about our country and his family demonstrates what is possible in America.

Would hope people would research Hilary more, as she has a legacy of lies and deceit. This election for her is all about her ability to gain power and control. Follow the Clinton Chinagate Connections. Do your research and you will see that the Clintons have been taking money from the Peoples Liberation Army since the 1996 campaign. Remember Johnny Huang, the Loral space corp deal. Now thanks to the Clintons China can put a man in space. Before Clinton was president China could not even get a missile off the ground. In my opinion both Hilary and Bill should be in jail serving time for treason.

Clinton's health care deal is also a scam, as when she was the First Ugly Lady, she totally butchered our nation's Child Immunization Program.

Any democrat that was previously in the race would be a better choice than her. She is a hollow skirt with only a wicked broom and wisk!
