The Obama presidency begins to emerge

[FinFatale]

Anyone who thinks I'm rushing the advent of the messianic presidency is invited to take a closer look at recent media coverage. Obama has declared himself president in all but name. He has gone so far as to call for his policies to be put in place even before being inaugurated. The mass media, from Time magazine to barely-hanging-on fish wrappers like the Detroit Free Press have declared the current incumbent to be irrelevant, the "lamest of lame ducks", in the words of Joe Klein. Numerous suggestions have been made that he either be run out of Washington or forced to resign to make way for the Obamiate. The rest of the world is shouting hosannas to the new age of Barack well before the kickoff date. Expatriate Americans are no longer being rolled in front of buses in European capitals, a trend unprecedented since the weeks following VE Day.

So it's no surprise that the Jihadis have taken O at his word. As the massacre in Bombay unfolded, (I'll change usage on that name when the Times of London does) the killers made a particular effort to locate American and British victims. Most of these were evidently murdered out of hand. Make no mistake; the attack had one target, and one target alone: America's acting president-elect. The Australian's Greg Sheridan stole the words right out of this machine when he wrote:

"During the US presidential campaign, Joe Biden said that the US's enemies would challenge Obama in the first months of his presidency. Biden's prediction has come true sooner than even he expected."

Omg Muslim extremists acting American citizens that has definitely never happened before Obama was elected president. It is idiotic to say the least that he is the reason why the acts happened. Muslims extremists have been attacking outside the US for decades and they have defintely ramped it up since Bush was president. Does that mean that they were doing it because of Bush? No

I know that you are the most Anti-Obama person here and will continue to post articles from right wing and completely biased sites, but 9 months after Bush was elected the WORST terrorist attack in the countries history occured... what did this guy have to say about how Bush influences that attack?

I suppose one would have to check the archives to see if he wrote about what he felt about Bush's influence on that attack. I really don't feel I am the most anti-obama person on this site but perhaps that is your perception and you are certainly entitled to your own opinion as is the guy that wrote this article I referenced. agree?

You right, because Bush's military experience was extensive right? I mean all our greatest presidents were life long military men. Reagan, Lincoln, FDR, Truman, etc. Is Obama going to be a great president? I doubt it, he will be decent or a bit above average., but this argument is dumb

At least,at least we have Slick Willy in the background.I hope i'm wrong about hussein,time will tell.

Yeah, that is a real good statement. Well thought out.

Back to topic:
a) Obama is not President yet so there would be really no testing
b) if anybody wants to make an extended far-reaching connection why not point at the Bush government for being the financier of the Mumbai attacks.

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba is a Pakistani government sponsored group. The Bush administration paid Billions of dollars to Pakistan for the fight against terrorism especially in AQ. Of our Pakistan never held up its bargain and did very little. So....

- why did we keep paying them money?
- where did all our money go? Lashkar-e-Tayyiba?

Once again, "americanthinker" proves to be the least valuable resource.

Opinion is fine but you have to base an opinion somewhat on some background facts and not state just an opinion out of thin air. You can only debate opinions which are based on some facts. Opinions can't be wrong, just the facts behind them.

I do of course do not blame Bush for those attacks. My post is just an attempt to show that my facts are more solid, eventhough far fetched, to point at Bush rather than Obama.

I don't believe that this article is the opinion of the " american thinker " alone............http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1227...gn2008_mostpop

The people will demand action against the masterminds of the attacks. And perception in India is that it is the ISI guides and masterminds the attacks. Elections in India are in due in the next six months and pressure will mount on the Indian government to act. Joe Biden was right, Barack Obama will face an international test in the first six months. South Asia looks to be that test.

Whos facts and statements are you using now,certainly not yours.You're one that looks and reads,then picks out facts you really know nothing about or even if they are factual.

"american-can't-think" clearly puts out the notion that the recent attacks in India is the test for Obama.

The second one assumes that the upcoming elections in 6 months and the general development will be the big test for Obama and Biden.

Two totally different theories.

These attacks are most likely come from Pakistan. It will most likely unite Indian fractions. If terrorist attacks from inside would be prevailing or if a continuous terrorist attacks from Pakistan should occur then it would cause uproar in India.

If people like to draw comparison to France before their election, it was much closer to election time.

I know how desperate some are to just slaughter Obama right now or want to test him or whatever. Just do not forget while he is elected he does not take office until January 20.

Your President right now is sitting in the WH and all eyes should be on him. But I guess he is to busy trying to find a publisher for his book nobody really wants to publish - in between raping our environment with last minute signings, his exit interviews ("during I arrived...." ) which he may regret one day and playing with turkeys.
