Voting fraud exists in the U.S.A. and if it can happen "in-the-land-of-the-free," it can happen anywhere.

Dear Mr. Obama.

I have a quotation to ask you.

What is the difference between Nasrallah, and the two others Eahmadinejad & kim jong il?

I know, it is a very complicated question for your understanding capability, so, I will help.

The first one still hiding in his bunker, terrifying Israel will put her hands on him.
The two others invited to speech in UN or sign on silly agreements.

It is difficult to comprehend how a UFO like you, became to be the president of the USA.

Oh, do you know how UFO called in Hebrew? OBM.
Well, you are probably the most primitive version, Type A.

I hope the people in Iran do more by taking their concerns to the streets than we did here in America when our Supreme Court, Diebold and religious leaders gave their puppet Bush control. Our country is pretty much in ruins since we sat back and just watched. I hope the same does not happen to them. This is what happens when people allow religious leaders control. Forced submission.

Regardless of the vote count, one would have hoped for a bit more moderation in the Middle East. Politics of fear are great there and people are tending to vote for "protection" or security over practical reason.

Hamas winning elections, Hezbollah winning elections, Bibi winning, and now this guy.

None bode well for peace in the area.

It is obvoius we have a a president that tells everybody just what they want to hear just like in the election. Didn't matter if the two groups opposed each other Obama told them what they wanted to hear to get the votes.

This could be good for Ahmadinejad now that Obama has pledged to uphold his "right" to nuclear technology. I wonder what other "rights" Obama will award the guy. How bout the "right" to massive US Aid? Maybe the "right" to "defend themselves against the bad bad Israelis? As we know Obama is big on "rights".

This puts Obama between a rock and a hard place. He cannot maintain any support for talks with the "Government of Thugs" (Iran). The very fabric of the democratic party is based on freedom and liberalism, or so they say. If they establish relations with the Iranian government, they are doomed to open a can of worm at themselves. They will be blasted by everyone and every free nation, and rightfully so !

Here we are less than 200 days into the Term of the FIRST President we went out and voted FOR in a very long time and we are seeing MORE movement toward Democracy in the Middle East than we did in the entire 8 years of the Bush Administration. Thus we must put up with whiners like this poor fool. How do you figure people like this out? It is OBVIOUS we have a real Statesman now leading our nation and those who backed the Worst President in our History can't accept it. Strange, these people in the Fringe Right, very STRANGE!

In spite of the actual news of the day, the 2000 American Presidential Election will be the defining moment for a generation of young homosexual men and its most minute details with consume their lives until the very last hour.
