Obama NPD Alert: Obama's election raises hope throughout the world
2008-11-07
In a congratulatory letter to president-elect Barack Obama, French President Nicholas Sarkozy writes, "Your election raises in France, in Europe, and beyond throughout the world, immense hope."

Similar statements from dozens of world leaders and images of people around the world celebrating his election make clear Barack Obama will enjoy a good deal of international goodwill when he takes office on January 20.

Obama's election offers a monumental transformation of America's face to the world. Many see him as the epitome of the American dream. But his appeal is not solely based on the fact that he is black or that his middle name is Hussein or that his father was Kenyan or that he spent part of his childhood in Indonesia.

#4  He can only be president of the United States and Americans will expect him to protect their interests first and foremost.

What planet did this guy come from. Obama's a plant, put in the big seat by the hard left and he's going to do everything he can to make this country unrecognizable from what it is today.

#3  I don't doubt it.

It raised Russia's hope to reconquer Ukraine, the Causcasus, the rebuild countries and to vassalize East Europe again. It raised the hopes of China for conquering Taiwan and vassalizing Vietnam and Korea.
It raised the hopes of dictators of Pakistan it would be able to first regain Kashmir and second to conquer India. It raised the hopes of Mugabe and similar they would be able to get away with it. It raised the hopes of teh Paledstinins they would be able to perform a second Final solution. It raised the hopes of the jihadists içn conquering the world.

In a world tteeming with thugs and cynicists dreaming of power (that is for the Europens) my hope is that Obama disappoints the world.

#2  Obama's reported choice of Rahm Emanuel as WH CoS is certainly an interesting one.

As someone with fairly messy ties to Fannie Mae, he will have to wear that Albatross around his neck for a long time to come.

But - as a Jewish figure with direct ties to Israel (having worked there as a civilian volunteer in 1991, during the first Gulf War), his appointment would send a pretty unambiguous message that Israel is not being marginalized within the Obama sphere of influence.

All things considered - probably a good choice - particularly for an internal appointed position that requires no confirmation.

#1  POTUS-elect Obama reportedly had his first INTEL briefing where he was told CHINA will be the world's second largest economy by 2025.

FIRST THINGS FIRST > US ELECTORAL COLLEGE MUST SELECT OBAMA BY 12/15th.

I am mucho grande curious to see how the US-World will set up and formally begin the exploration and colonization of deep space, in the face of contin Global Warming demands + absence of OWG + unified GLOBAL SOCIALIST ORDER [read, Globalist/Space-centric Resources Sharing].
