Democrat Says There Isn't Time For A New President To Have On The Job Training

Sadly, Hillary is quite mistaken. She is not the most qualified, nor the wisest. Without the name recognition of her Husband, who would know her? Maybe the people in NY NY, just another freshman senator with big ideas. Her passed along fame gives her a platform and NOT her abilities. Who has risen from nowhere to national prominence? Who has equivalent experience but a better heart? I say it is Obama. A person who says what people want to hear will satisfy them, but a person who says what is right will expand them. It is a fool and a cowards path to take the easy road of war, as was done, and to not rise above, which takes courage, and hillary failed in being wise. We laud Ghandi and Mandela who rose above the slaps and hits and punches, and went beyond. We need such a president. Sometimes the best way is not the obvious one, or the easiest. We are not at war with countries, or a people, but an idea, that grew for various reasons, and the war in Iraq is actually fostering and adding to the number of terrorist, serving as both a generator and magnet for terrorists. So if the best thinking of "traditional" defense politics ends up like that, isn''t it time to rethink how we approach these problems? And isn''t time for a person who would also rethink? if we negate the very things we hold dear, honor, respect, justice, to "protect" ourselves, don''t we really lose? And for economic and social policy, wisdom for me counts more than claimed experience.

I believe she will do everything humanly possible to continue the illusion; otherwise, RECESSION and ECOMONIC COLLAPSE will have us at the knees of the BEAST.

In speech that kicked off a two day campaign swing through Iowa, the New York senator painted a bleak picture of a U.S. economy battered by home foreclosures, rising oil prices and lack of good jobs for middle class workers.


They have been saying the same things for the past 7 years. Shouldn''t we be in a recession by now?

Apologies

In March 1998, President Clinton visited Kigali, where he apologized to the Rwandan people and the victims of the genocide. "The international community, together with nations in Africa, must bear its share of responsibility for this tragedy," Clinton said. "We did not act quickly enough after the killing began. We should not have allowed the refugee camps to become safe havens for the killers. We did not immediately call these crimes by their rightful name: genocide."

Those sentiments were echoed weeks later by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. In an apology to the parliament of Rwanda, Annan said, "We will not deny that, in their greatest hour of need, the world failed the people of Rwanda...."

"Ghosts of Rwanda" concludes by examining the aftermath of the genocide, the lessons learned--and not learned--by the international community, and by questioning whether the phrase "never again" has more meaning today than it did 10 years ago.

"When you are faced with the question [of] whether I think that we can avoid the Rwandas of tomorrow...my answer is I really don''t know," Annan now says. "I wish I can say yes, but I am not convinced that we will see the kind of political will and the action required to stop it."

October 3 Special Forces in Somalia are engaged in a 17-hour battle with the ruling warlord. Eighteen U.S. soldiers are killed and 84 wounded, with more than 1,000 Somalis killed. U.S. and other nations'' troops quickly withdrew from the U.N. mission.

Why didn''t the Clinton administration work towards green energy independence,national healthcare,immigration reform,tax reform,the first time? Why didn''t the Clinton''s get Osama bin Laden after the first attack on the WTC? or Cole ship bombing? Will they revise their screening for inturns?
Why did the Clinton''s sign onto NAFTA?

What we need now is a president who can clean up the problems that the past 2 presidents didn''t do or problems they created!!!
