This is pure BS! Who does Obama think he is? He has no authority to pledge more taxpayer dollars to anyone. I wonder why he did''nt just go ahead and offer them Social Security, SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, along with child tax credits for taxes they haven''t paid too! After all this is America and we can all afford more draining of our resources. Obama has stepped way ahead of himself.

I''m so glad that Obama now knows the excitement of having his passport stamped for the first time.

BOOKWORM__ and BlindLibs, you pathetic creeps who still think Barack is a Muslim. Jees, wake up. It''s big fat idiots like you, who call Barack Obama by his middle name, that are the true threat to America. WHy don''t you call McCain by HIS middle name?! Do you even know what it is? You''re going to be on the losing side in November, but America is going to win with Obama and by finally getting rid of the true terrorists: Bush and Cheney

You call that puff piece an interview? Obama and the Democrats did everything they could to hnder the war effort and the surge in Iraq. Now Obama thinks a surgeis is a good idea for Afghanistan. Why wasn''t he asked what he thought of the Iraq surge? Did he think it was a success or failure? It is very convenient for him to criticize the surge in Iraq and advocate one for Afghanistan because the later is the popular war and he can show his muscle on Afghanistan without losing his base. It would have been nice to hear a question relating to that. After listening to the interview, I reminded myslef why I don''t bother listening and watching CBS news on a regular basis.

amazing! Barack is ahead on things, the bush admin now catching up sending troops to Afgan and putting pressure on pakistan,

Now Bush setting a timetable to withdraw from irag, all copycat action , they are basically doing what Barack say we should be doing a long time ago , and they were saying barack is trying to surrender in iraq; Look now.. they change their tune; This Bush government is a JOKE.

they are all following Barack sound judgement.

It look like our future commander in chief President Obama is ahead on the curb, And the poor NEO-CONS are now following his lead and is trying to catch up.

He''''ll have some catching up to do if he wants to reach Shrub''''s numbers:

3000 on 9/11.
4113 in Iraq.

1''000''000 iraqi refugees
650''000 dead iraqi citizens

Yeah, all that jet fuel wasted to invade Iraq for no reason - and then lose. I agree.

"Iraq Leader Maliki Supports Obama''s Withdrawal Plans" -- Der Spiegel

Yet another major news item the American corporate media is leaving virtually untouched as it continues to protect JukeBox John McCain.

Karzai, having nothing to go on but his interactions with Shrub, was pleased to find after meeting Barack, that all Americans aren''t Drooling Mouth-Breathing Retardds afterall......LMMFAO

Finally a President who''s interested in changing the failed course and failed policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will take years, maybe decades, to fix all that the neocons screwwed up but Obama is the man for the job.

Barack Hussein is to indecisive to be our commander in chief? Always making the wrong decisions whereby lives can be lost!

Ummm!! It''s absolutely AMAZING how short your memory is... Let''s review. Iraq was started on a bunch of LIES! That''s right the Fuhrer LIED us into that war... There WERE NO WMD''s as he said there were. There WAS no connection with the attack on OUR nation as he said there was. IF we listen to Obama we aren''t bogged down in Iraq and Al Queda and the Taliban are no more. TRY to keep up from now on?? Sieg Heil Bush

Barak voted no to the $4 billion dollar, no WMD''''s, waste of a 6 year old war that cost 4100 U.S. lives.

Isn''t it amazing, in retrospect, the huge blunder this has been? It''s internationally embarrassing.

Recently, McCain in Columbia, Mexico and Canada.

Then there was his and Lieberman''s Mideast trip where he did not know the difference between ***** and Sunni.

Yea the surge has worked...in Iraq. Now, Afghanistan is heating up. Way to go Bush! The big and bad U.S. has been fighting there for seven years, and things are going to get worse.

Does she have cancer too?

I do not know but she can be tested at the place barack hussein was diagnose with his cancer? The cancer of a smokescreen. Barack voted NO to the surge! If we had listen to him a lot more of American lives would have been lost!
