View Full Version : Barack Emailed Me Last Nite: Looking Forward
Daniel --
The polls are closed in Kentucky and votes are being counted in Oregon, and it's clear that tonight we have reached a major milestone on this journey.
We have won an absolute majority of all the delegates chosen by the people in this Democratic primary process.
From the beginning, this journey wasn't about me or the other candidates. It was about a simple choice -- will we continue down the same road with the same leadership that has failed us for so long, or will we take a different path?
Too many of us have been disappointed by politics and politicians more times than you can count. We've seen promises broken and good ideas drowned in a sea of influence, point-scoring, and petty bickering that has consumed Washington.
Yet, in spite of all the doubt and disappointment -- or perhaps because of it -- people have stood for change.
Unfortunately, our opponents in the other party continue to embrace yesterday's policies and they will continue to employ yesterday's tactics -- they will try to change the subject, and they will play on fears and divisions to distract us from what matters to you and your future.
But those tactics will not work in this election.
They won't work because you won't let them.
Not this time. Not this year.
We still have work to do to in the remaining states, where we will compete for every delegate available.
But tonight, I want to thank you for everything you have done to take us this far -- farther than anyone predicted, expected, or even believed possible.
And I want to remind you that you will make all the difference in the epic challenge ahead.
Thank you,
Barack Obama

I have heard a lot about change, failed policies, and the challenges we face from Obama’s speeches but I can't tell you what his plan is for anything. Yes, he is a really cool guy and I like listening to his speeches but if you listen to anything he says that is not written down he doesn’t seem to know what he really believes and stumbles just as much as GWB.
As much as Hillary scares me at least she has answers for the questions. She does have a plan that she wants to implement. However, this could scare me more than Obama not having a plan for anything. Maybe if he does become president then nothing will get accomplished and at least no damage is done.
So, I am not sure what is better, elect John McCain who is going to make conservative philosophies a mockery, or elect Hillary/Obama so that conservatives don’t get blamed for failing policies and start building up for 2012.

This is said about most candidates a person doesn't either know, want or has researched ...
Try going to his website and finding out what he stands for ... DG rather than saying he hasn't articulated his agenda when all 3 serious candidates have .... including the fringe folks ... like Ron Paul.
Furthermore ... Obama is hands down the best orator among the three ... most pundits would agree.

Back when Howard Dean was running for President and made his insane speech where he screeched and hollared like a crazy man about going all the way to various states and the White House I eamiled his campaign to tell him just what a moron I thought he was.
I knew he would never see it but at least wanted some haples lib college student stupid enough to be volunteering in his campaign to read my opinon.
Problem was that no one apparently actually read any of the emails they received. They just assumed all were supportive and positive.
I got a nice email reply thanking me for my email and treating me like a supporter. Ever since then I have been on the stupid email address list for the Democrat National Committee.
I have not opted out because I like to know what the enemy is up to. Their emails bashing President Bush and now John McCain are hilarious they are so stupid.

http://apostolicfriendsforum.com/showthread.php?t=18848
“I am running for President of the United States to lead this country in a new direction… Instead of being distracted from the most pressing threats that we face, I want to overcome them. Instead of pushing the entire burden of our foreign policy on to the brave men and women of our military, I want to use all elements of American power to keep us safe, and prosperous, and free. Instead of alienating ourselves from the world, I want America – once again – to lead…
This must be the moment when we answer the call of history. For eight years, we have paid the price for a foreign policy that lectures without listening; that divides us from one another – and from the world – instead of calling us to a common purpose; that focuses on our tactics in fighting a war without end in Iraq instead of forging a new strategy to face down the true threats that we face. We cannot afford four more years of a strategy that is out of balance and out of step with this defining moment.”
— Barack Obama, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008
Balanced Leadership during these Chaotic and Tenous Times
When faced w/ a choice between a hawk's hawk in a turbulent economic and politically tenous time ... I want the leader who will not peak into a man's eyes and think KGB ... or will put their eggs in one basket ... including the lives of our soldiers and trillions more in money that can be re-channeled in other threats to our security and failing economy ...
... I seek an assertive and broad-minded leader who is willing to sit with our allies, enemies and seek solutions without setting pre-conditions framed by a Cold War mentality.
With trillions of dollars of debt owed to the emerging superpower in the world in China ... 70% of our dependence on foreign oil .... Russia's sword rattling in Eastern Europe and now Latin America .... etc. etc. etc.
a reactionary and unbalanced temperment is not the answer. McCain's Straight Talk has alienated even his colleagues and men like James Dobson.
Barak offers a balanced, business like mindset and a wide range of solutions ... in approaching this new time.
As our economy becomes more globalized our foreign policy must become globalized ... and not just one-issue focused.
Terrorism is one of many pressing issues.
Barak's colleagues ceded the floor to him in expressing their party's concerns ....know he is capable to lead in the recent bailout talks at the Whitehouse ...
This tells me he has the goods ....

Balance ...
Here is one example of a comprehensive and global view as it deals w/ our military in CHANGED WORLD....
Business as usual will bring us to our knees .... financially and militarily
<H3>Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan
Invest in a 21st Century Military
Rebuild the Military for 21st Century Tasks: As we rebuild our armed forces, we must not simply recreate the military of the Cold War era. Obama and Biden believe that we must build up our special operations forces, civil affairs, information operations, and other units and capabilities that remain in chronic short supply; invest in foreign language training, cultural awareness, and human intelligence and other needed counterinsurgency and stabilization skill sets; and create a more robust capacity to train, equip, and advise foreign security forces, so that local allies are better prepared to confront mutual threats.
Expand to Meet Military Needs on the Ground: Barack Obama and Joe Biden support plans to increase the size of the Army by 65,000 soldiers and the Marines by 27,000 troops. Increasing our end strength will help units retrain and re-equip properly between deployments and decrease the strain on military families.
Leadership from the Top: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will restore the ethic of public service to the agenda of today's youth, whether it be serving their local communities in such roles as teachers or first responders, or serving in the military to keep our nation free and safe.
Lighten the Burdens on Our Brave Troops and Their Families: An Obama-Biden administration will create a Military Families Advisory Board to provide a conduit for military families' concerns to be brought to the attention of senior policymakers and the public. Obama and Biden will end the Bush administration's stop-loss policy and establish predictability in deployments so that active duty and reserves know what they can and must expect.
Build Defense Capabilities for the 21st Century
Fully Equip Our Troops for the Missions They Face: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe we must get vitally needed equipment to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines before lives are lost. We cannot repeat such failures as the delays in deployment of armored vehicles, body armor and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that save lives on the frontlines.
Review Weapons Programs: We must rebalance our capabilities to ensure that our forces have the agility and lethality to succeed in both conventional wars and in stabilization and counter-insurgency operations. Obama and Biden have committed to a review of each major defense program in light of current needs, gaps in the field, and likely future threat scenarios in the post-9/11 world.
Preserve Global Reach in the Air: We must preserve our unparalleled airpower capabilities to deter and defeat any conventional competitors, swiftly respond to crises across the globe, and support our ground forces. We need greater investment in advanced technology ranging from the revolutionary, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and electronic warfare capabilities, to essential systems like the C-17 cargo and KC-X air refueling aircraft, which provide the backbone of our ability to extend global power.
Maintain Power Projection at Sea: We must recapitalize our naval forces, replacing aging ships and modernizing existing platforms, while adapting them to the 21st century. Obama and Biden will add to the Maritime Pre-Positioning Force Squadrons to support operations ashore and invest in smaller, more capable ships, providing the agility to operate close to shore and the reach to rapidly deploy Marines to global crises.
National Missile Defense: An Obama-Biden administration will support missile defense, but ensure that it is developed in a way that is pragmatic and cost-effective; and, most importantly, does not divert resources from other national security priorities until we are positive the technology will protect the American public.
Ensure Freedom of Space: An Obama-Biden administration will restore American leadership on space issues, seeking a worldwide ban on weapons that interfere with military and commercial satellites. He will thoroughly assess possible threats to U.S. space assets and the best options, military and diplomatic, for countering them, establishing contingency plans to ensure that U.S. forces can maintain or duplicate access to information from space assets and accelerating programs to harden U.S. satellites against attack.
Protect the U.S in Cyberspace: An Obama-Biden administration will work in cooperation with our allies and the private sector to identify and protect against emerging cyber-threats.
Restore the Readiness of the National Guard and Reserves
Barack Obama and Joe Biden will provide the National Guard with the equipment it needs for foreign and domestic emergencies and time to restore and refit before deploying. They will make the head of the National Guard a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to ensure concerns of our citizen soldiers reach the level they mandate. They will ensure that reservists and Guard members are treated fairly when it comes to employment, health, and education benefits.
Develop Whole of Government Initiatives to Promote Global Stability
Integrate Military and Civilian Efforts: An Obama-Biden administration will build up the capacity of each non-Pentagon agency to deploy personnel and area experts where they are needed, to help move soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines out of civilian roles.
Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): An Obama-Biden administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel. This corps of civilian volunteers with special skill, sets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) would be organized to provide each federal agency with a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in times of need at home and abroad.
Restore Our Alliances
Engage Our Allies in Meeting Our Common Security Challenges: America's traditional alliances, such as NATO, must be transformed and strengthened, including on common security concerns like Afghanistan, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Obama and Biden will renew alliances and ensure our allies contribute their fair share to our mutual security.
Organize to Help Our Partners and Allies in Need: An Obama-Biden administration will expand humanitarian activities that build friends and allies at the regional and local level (such as during the response to the tsunami in South and Southeast Asia), and win hearts and minds in the process.
Reform Contracting
Create Transparency for Military Contractors: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will require the Pentagon and State Department to develop a strategy for determining when contracting makes sense, rather than continually handing off governmental jobs to well-connected companies. An Obama-Biden administration will create the transparency and accountability needed for good governance. Finally, it will establish the legal status of contractor personnel, making possible prosecution of any abuses committed by private military contractors.
Restore Honesty, Openness, and Commonsense to Contracting and Procurement: An Obama-Biden administration will realize savings by reducing the corruption and cost overruns that have become all too routine in defense contracting. This includes launching a program of acquisition reform and management, which would end the common practice of no-bid contracting.Obama and Biden will end the abuse of supplemental budgets by creating a system of oversight for war funds as stringent as in the regular budget. Obama and Biden will restore the government's ability to manage contracts by rebuilding our contract officer corps. They will order the Justice Department to prioritize prosecutions that will punish and deter fraud, waste and abuse.

Just following the protocol.
Only your own protocol of trying to defeat your opponent by making them look or feel stupid or inferior. Not a really great tactic, if you ask me. Which you didn't. :coffee2
You really don't understand the art of honest, forthright, transparent conversation. It means you make your own views vulnerable for analysis, just as you proceed to analyze the views of your opponent. It serves you to allow your own views to be analyzed, because it will either allow you to strengthen your points with your defense (in the eyes of the reader), or it will point to holes in your own stance that need repair.
Normally that requires you to both defend your own statements and beliefs to the satisfaction of the audience, fairly and logically AND to dissuade your opponent from his views without attacking his person.
It requires answering questions directly, without pretense and forethought, or without weighing the consequences of answering honestly and choosing to obfuscate or evade instead. It requires courage to answer a question directly, even when you anticipate your opponent will disagree with or even scoff at the answer. It takes grit to participate in intellectual banter without it ever becoming the bashing you so readily accuse others of.
So far the ability to any of the above seems to be lacking from your repertoire. Don't you think you're capable? :whistle
