Who is really calling the tunes? <br />I think it obvious.<br />I personally have no faith in Mr.Obama. The time for hope and change came and went in the time since he was elected. He is more of the same old, same old while the world as we know it, goes to hell. He is the only holdout on destructive landmines! <br />And just look at where he has decided the remaining few dollars are going!<br />XO<br />WWW<br />PS I am strongly reminded of another very attractive politican who spoke oratorically with much the same promise prior to election and then afterwards proceeded with his own form of wreckage - i.e. Tony Blair.Wisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-73877620252086509002009-12-01T11:53:28.141-03:302009-12-01T11:53:28.141-03:30Sobering list, WWW!

He's doing his level best to sort out the terrible job the last administration did, but he can only do so much immediately.<br />I trust his judgment re what he is doing about Afghanistan. That's all I can say. It seems wrong to me, of course, but I'm ignorant of all the circumstances.

The degree of self-delusion is staggering.<br /><br />More and more Brits are opposed to the Afghan war, to the extent that their opposition is demoralising the troops themselves.
