Obama wins presidency speech

2/2 Barack Obama...

President George W. Bush spoke with ABC News' Martha Raddatz today following an incident in which an Iraqi reporter threw two shoes at the president. Bush told Raddatz he wasn't insulted by the shoe-throwing, and that stranger things have happened to him. He also spoke about his legacy, standing by the invasion of Iraq as the right thing to do, but also saying his presidency was about a lot more than taking down Saddam Hussein. The full transcript of the interview follows: Martha Raddatz: Let's start with what just happened. And that is someone threw a shoe at you, whether it's an Iraqi reporter? President Bush: Yeah, I think it's a reporter. At least that's what they told me on the way out, that it's a person who works in the Iraqi press, stands up and throws his shoe. And it was amusing. I mean, I've seen a lot of weird things during my presidency and this may rank up there as one of the weirdest. On the other hand, I do remember when the president of China came to the South Lawn, and a member of the press corps started yelling. I think it was Falun Gong slogans at the Chinese president. So this happens and it's a sign of a free society.

As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to enter office on Jan. 20, much of his focus has been directed toward the many national security and foreign policy issues that await him in the Oval Office. The list spans the globe, but has a heavy concentration in the volatile Middle East.At this Dec. 16 New America event, held at the Core Club in New York City, foreign policy experts and New America Foundation Board members Fareed Zakaria and Anne-Marie Slaughter explored the ways in which they think the Obama administration will differ from the Bush presidency. Slaughter, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International, offered their expertise on Iraq; Afghanistan; Iran; Pakistan and India; Israel and Palestine; Russia; China; and more. A robust discussion followed, focusing on what they thought Obama's policy priorities would be.

Here's an excerpt:In a Presidency of hypocrisy, an Administration of exploitation, a labyrinth of leadership, in which every vital fact is a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma hidden under a claim of executive privilege supervised by an idiot, this one is surprisingly easy.President Bush has put, protecting the Telecom giants from the laws...ahead of protecting you from the terrorists.He has demanded an extension of the FISA law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but only an extension that includes retroactive immunity for the Telecoms who helped him spy on us.Congress has given him, and he has today signed, a fifteen day extension, which simply kicks the time bomb down the field, and has changed nothing of his insipid rhetoric, in which he portrays the Democrats as 'soft on terror' and getting in the way of his Superhuman efforts to protect the nation... when, in fact, and with bitter irony, if anybody is 'soft on terror' here it is Mr. Bush.

http://good.is/The Vice President of the United States is an attack dog in campaign season, a tie-breaker in the Senate and, ultimately, the back-up Decider. McCain chose Sarah Palin, the folksy, first-term governor of Alaska. Obama chose Joe Biden, a 35-year veteran of the Senate with a reputation for speaking his mind (for better or worse).

This is an urgent message from http://restoretheconstitutionalrepublic.org concerning the fact that Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen, as required by our Constitution, and therefore, must step down. It is also a call to our members of Congress to demand an official investigation before they convene to verify the Electoral College vote on January 8.
