Wow, USA is taking out its Public Army ending the U.S. occupation means ending all U.S. funding for the giant contractors — Dyncorp, Bechtel, Blackwater.
But what of the Private Owned Oil Coops.. They can still hire the very Private Contractors the USA government has hired.! This is all out of the hands of any President as it will be in Iraq, as was the Americans taking Oil Via Great Britain’s Oil Companies When they had a falling out with Libya. The United States lifted this embargo in 2004, the official version was the Oil Drilling Ceased . Libya has the eight largest oil fields in the world, this embargo had been in place since 1986. The Oil Companies have taken public moneys to guarantee their own Wealth for far too long adding to the Bankrupts for other needy causes, and these are still feeling the pinch because Obama sees to it that Wall Street is propped up. The Motor Industry is not what it used to be as no jobs means no money means you cannot pay the re payments for house and car. Tent Cities popping up all over America & Obama like his predecessor won’t or cannot do anything about it whilst he lives in the Ivory White Tower. He cares more about feed a pet dog for his spoilt children than seeing that other children are fed and housed Iraq was under embargo when Bush Senior was in power, and I saw on television how the Iraq motorists improvised with their older cars, if they could not acquire a part for the vehicle they would improvise & make it themselves, eg adjust a ford part to fit a commodore. Australians are even now seeking out vehicles they can work on themselves in preference to struggling to meet payments they can ill afford & have their families go Hungary, or scrounge food from over Taxed Charities.

Our Government along with USA are increasing Troops and Money into Afghanistan, not to help the Afgan but to add security to the Pipe Lines to transport the Oil and Gas out of the Surrounding Land Locked Countries. Obama is no Angel of Mercy, he is a Tool in the hands of the Huge Cooperations who are behind the building of these Pipelines http://www.viewzone.com/pipeline.html Posted by ma edda, Saturday, 2 May 2009 5:05:13 PM

The real danger of Obama is that he is so popular.In the eyes of most ,he can do no wrong,thus people will be willing to give up more of their personal freedoms in trust of this new messiah.The Merrycans tend to be a Nation of Hollywood hero worshippers and often substitute faith,for knowledge and cold hard analysis.
Obama is not the well intended person he portrays.There are powers behind the scenes pulling the strings of both houses that are far more powerful than any of us can imagine. I don't think that Obama has the courage of JFK to take them on.Time will tell. Posted by Arjay, Saturday, 2 May 2009 6:19:00 PM

Can you still judge a man by the company he keeps or is that conservative wisdom?
Some of Obama’s gallery of rogues, radicals, terrorists and tax cheats: Bill Ayers – unrepentant terrorist and former Weatherman Louis Farrakhan – Nation of Islam leader who calls Obama the Messiah Rev Jeremiah White – “God damn America” etc, etc, (Obama never heard this in 19 years!) Tony Rezko – Convicted criminal. Mrs Rezko helped Obama buy, and then subsidised, his mansion. Failed appointees: Bill Richardson: facing corruption charges. Tom Daschle: Failed to pay $100,000 taxes. Nancy Killefer: Failed to pay employment taxes on house servant. Sundry others who didn’t want to be tainted. Appointees: Hilda Solis: Husband paid 16 year old outstanding tax one day before her confirmation. Ron Kirk: Failed to pay $10,000 in back taxes Timothy Geithner: Failed to pay $34,000 in self-employment taxes dating from 2001. Only Obama could get away with appointing a tax cheat to oversee the Tax Department! Has taken legal action to block attempts to get him to release his full birth certificate to prove his eligibility for president. One could go on but it's too depressing.

And of course little Georgie was shiny clean.
One could elaborate, but it's too depressing. Posted by Ginx, Saturday, 2 May 2009 8:14:52 PM

Mostly what Obama is trying to do is treat the whole world as good parents try to understand their children.
Something my now dead wife even when young would remind me that while ready to punish our kids too quickly for disobedience, better to have a get together over it, letting the angry parental frown show a little kindly despair.
That is why so many so-called devout Christians avoid discussing the Sermon on the Mount because in a historical sense it certainly forbids the rampant colonialism that made us white Westerners what we are.
Would reckon that what Obama would really like to do is simplly have a go at the old Religio-Historio lesson of Sharing the Blame.
