HuskyCaucasian Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Obama will step-down from the Senate on Sunday Obama will leave the Senate Sunday, he says in a statement reported by the Illinois press:“It has been one of the highest honors and privileges of my life to have served the people of Illinois in the United States Senate," Obama said in a statement today. "In a state that represents the crossroads of a nation, I have met so many men and women who’ve taken different journeys, but hold common hopes for their children’s future," Obama said. "It is these Illinois families and their stories that will stay with me as I leave the United States Senate and begin the hard task of fulfilling the simple hopes and common dreams of all Americans as our nation’s next President.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Perhaps our President has had more of a positive impact on the world's thinking than I once believed. Jean-David Levitte, Mr Sarkozy’s chief diplomatic adviser, reported the exchange in a news magazine before an EU-Russia summit today. The meeting will be chaired by the French leader and President Medvedev. With Russian tanks only 30 miles from Tbilisi on August 12, Mr Sarkozy told Mr Putin that the world would not accept the overthrow of Georgia’s Government. According to Mr Levitte, the Russian seemed unconcerned by international reaction. “I am going to hang Saakashvili by the balls,” Mr Putin declared. Mr Sarkozy thought he had misheard. “Hang him?” — he asked. “Why not?” Mr Putin replied. “The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein.” Mr Sarkozy, using the familiar tu, tried to reason with him: “Yes but do you want to end up like [President] Bush?” Mr Putin was briefly lost for words, then said: “Ah — you have scored a point there.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm so gonna miss him. (Australian PM) KEVIN Rudd was entertaining guests in the loungeroom at Kirribilli House in Sydney when an aide told him George W. Bush was on the telephone. ... So when Rudd excused himself to take Bush's call, he was well prepared to forcefully argue his case. Informed sources have confirmed the discussion took place on a speaker telephone with a Rudd staffer taking notes. After the President explained the pressure from Europe for a G7-brokered action on supporting the credit sector and reforming regulation, Rudd immediately insisted the G20 was the solution. Rudd was then stunned to hear Bush say: "What's the G20?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 She must really think people are stupid. Michelle Bachmann is a pretty wild person as we've seen, but after spewing venom at Barack Obama for a few minutes with Hannidate, she then lied to Alan Colmes and denied saying this on Hardball: Bachmann: I would say, what I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look -- I wish they would. I wi s h the American media would ta k e a great loo k at the view s of the people in Congre s s and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I thin k the people would love to s ee an expo s e li k e that. She's come up with a new one folks. She said that she never made those statements and they have now become an "urban legend." Is she living in a B type Horror/Slasher film world or what? Here's what she told Alan Colmes Tuesday night. Colmes: You said you were concerned during the campaign that Obama had anti American views and you said the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look at the people and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America Bachmann: Actually that's not what I said. It' s an urban legend that wa s created and that' s not what I s aid. Colmes: I have the tape at my website Alan.com Bachmann: What I called on Alan was for the main stream media to do their job. They failed to vet Barack Obama the way they had John McCain. That's what I was called for. Colmes: I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America. Do you really want... Bachmann: What I said was that I'm not qualified to say whether members views are pro or anti American. That's not my job to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I love Obama: Obama Wishes His No. 2 An Early Happy Birthday The president-elect brings a dozen cupcakes to the pair's weekly lunch in Chicago in anticipation for Biden's 66th birthday Thursday. "You're 12 years old!" Obama jokes, referring to the number of cupcakes. "Maybe in dog years!" Biden laughs. Also gives him a Chicago White Sox hat, a Chicago Bears hat and a bucket of Garrett's popcorn after the staff sings to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
