Never said Obama was competent, Amicus, but only felt he might have had the capacity to arrange rather than brute force, a type of social understanding similar to Nelson Mandela.

Certainly forgiveness comes into such a philosophy, also.

Finally, must admit that I have not had much faith in Obama, only hope possibly for some sort of wondrous miracle, which our troubled world needs so much

Obama like Bush is doing his puppet job really well.Obama has brought in preventative detention and expanded the war into Pakistan.He is trashing the US economy with quanitative easing ie counterfeiting money.

Why critise him when he doing as he is told.How can we have a new world order of facism without compliant pollies? You will all feel much safer in your houses with the boogy man terrorists replacing the reds under your beds.In fact anal probes at all the airports will keep you even safer.You'll be able to get your prostate checked and have a colonoscopy just for the price of a flight to Vegas.
