Obamas policies on Israel/Palestine, real progressive.
Yes we can indeed.
What are you confused about Pete? Did you expect him to stop earthquakes and floods?Originally Posted by pete
Just after reading his inauguration speech, and it is powerful stuff. That said, I'm sure that we could look back through speeches from other presidents and see similar grandiose comments. How will he follow up on things is the question.
His first act - to halt the Guantanamo trials - was a positive step.
That's probably one of the dumbest comments I've seen you make on the site pete. Seriously, if that's what you're reduced to, give up.
I agree. Only he could have prevented that vehicle accident in the South of France...
As for all the volcanoes, what is his policy on them?
I haven't noticed him mention them yet. Doesn't seem to be on his agenda.
Obama retakes the Oath. Here
Just to be on the safe side. Cutting the right wing nut jobs off at the pass if you ask me, even though he officially became president at noon on Tuesday, oath or no oath.
From CNN...
'The Constitution is clear about the exact wording of the oath and as a result, some constitutional experts have said that a do-over probably wasn't necessary but also couldn't hurt. Two other previous presidents have repeated the oath because of similar issues, Calvin Coolidge and Chester A. Arthur'.

Bad start to his tenure ...

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Nah, nerves just got the better of both men. After all, they are human, aren't they?

On Sky News at the moment that he's signed an order to have Guantanemo closed in the next twelve months. Words are still cheap, but I'll take back the above comment. Paying too much heed to what's written in other people's tabloids on the train.
Is that in addition to the order stopping military tribunals in the camp for 120 days?
Think so, yeah. Possibly part of the same order.
He said he signed 3 orders, roughly from my understanding;
1 was to ensure no torture,
1 to close the prison inside a year &
1 was to instigate the prosecution/suitable relocation of the inmates
correct.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
This is all shadow boxing and purely for media consumption when the whole world is watching closely
This is publicity management and not a whole lot else.
I firmly believe that BO will be one of the great presidents but this is all shape throwing - closing gitmo is an easy win - low hanging fruit
The real tests are to come - economy, iran, healthcare
DB Cooper is alive !
He may change a few things on the surface, but nothing will change on any meaningful level. The US is still looking out for its own interests all the time, and if that means supporting a coup that kills hundreds of thousands again (ala Indonesia in the '60s) then that's what they'll do. Israel is still the Golden Child that can do no wrong, and will continue to be.
Cynical, I know. I so want to believe in this guy, but my head over-rules my heart on this one.
He's been POTUS for 4 days lads, get real. If you want to criticise a President on actual performance, find a Bush thread and post there. There's lots.
It is truly ridiculous he hasn't got those three sorted by now. Obama out!
