the only thing obama knows how to do is speak. obama isn’t even smart enough to pick a VP that doesn’t makes bush like like a genius.

mccain would have made a inadequate president and palin a incompetent back-up. anyone who thinks obama is stupid is only showing their own ignorance, agree with him or not, the man is highly intelligent. mccain is not much smarter than bush. why dont republicans think intelligence is important for a president?? you conservatives are naive and thats putting things nicely. lets pray president obama can help to dig us out of the huge whole bush and the republican party have created for us. or are you gonna say clinton did it, lol. limbaugh is already blaming obama and he has yet to take office. you people are pathetic and your own leaders lie to you on a regular basis.

Obama an idiot. WOW, you clearly haven’t done much reading. He’s probably the most intelligent candidate we have ever had run for President. Self-entitled….think again. He has worked for everything he has which is what makes him so unique and appealing. We are Republicans and we are embarassed by McCain/Palin. Talk about ignorant! I don’t think you are a moron but I think your statement is really off because an idiot Obama is not. Hes extraordinarilly bright….give credit where credit is due here. He’s also real and committed to making a difference as opposed to McCain who really does feel he is owed this election.

Obama is not an idiot, nor is he self-entitled. His confidence is earned. He has a superior intellect but he comes from a modest background. He went to elite schools and excelled, rising above many who did come from privileged homes. Why would anyone would not want such a brilliant person to be our President? I think America deserves the best.

The ‘interview’ with the prison guards was a joke. The guy actually said he didn’t torture McCain, but that they were friends at the end of the day and sat together and played cards and spoke English. *sigh* This is what passes for journalism in the United States.

There are other countries that have more freedoms than the US. Check out the Human Freedom Index.

By: cobrajoe

Maybe the United States of America is the only “Free” country in the world?

Then the term “Leader of the Free World” actually only means “Leader of the Free Part of the World”

Too bad it’s fairly expensive to live here…

Family, church, friends, and views? That lists nearly everything that some people question about Obama, but it seems that no one has seemed to investigate his past. In the mean while, there is a team of 20 lawyers in Alaska tracking down Palin’s past, and there was a news team that went to Vietnam to interview McCain’s prison guards.
It seems that the only ones taking Obama’s past in to question in front of a camera are the Republicans.

It is worth noting that US culture has a large effect on our lives, and history may one day see the world map of the early 21st century as being vastly different to what it is today.
Maybe 500 years from now, the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand will all be seen as one nation. In a similar way as the Holy Roman Empire are seen as one nation today, even though it was actually a collection of a large number of Germanic and Italian nations.

I phrase it differently. I say, ‘since the USA is lead of the free world, why don’t we get a vote.’

By: PiMan

PiMan — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:19:18 +0000

bagnew: we followed the US in many ways. And many of them were disliked by the majority of the people. It mostly started when Bush got into power, and has largely wound down over the past year. It was a significant part of Howard’s legacy.
We followed their lead in war, in terrorism laws, in some economics, and more.

Hey uptight oz guy:

Calling the US President “leader of the free world” is a common thing to do in the US. And this site primarily focuses on American politics. Get over it.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:54:41 +0000

Never got specific in the countries I mentioned. In fact, I didn’t mention countries, and I believe that my exact quote was “it COULD mean.’ Historically, other countries have looked to the United States as a place to aspire to be, especially in second (is there such a thing?) and third world countries. Australia is not considered one of those, so it’s no wonder that your country would not follow the American model. You’re picking a pretty small thing out of my original post to pick a fight over, especially considering the topics of most of these flame wars on PK

By: bagnew

bagnew — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:22:20 +0000

No, I think that Australia at least is not following America. The only way in which we’ve ‘followed’ America recently was in our inclusion in the invasion of Iraq, something the majority of the Australian people disagreed with. Other than that, we’ve been following some pretty different paths, rather than supposedly looking up at America for guidance. We’re fine on our own, thank you.

Optical makers are probably giving them to her and paying her to wear them- sorta like giving shoes to basketball players, for the commercialism of it.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:00:58 +0000

Figure of speech, people. Geez. It could mean that America is a standard by which all other countries tend to follow, thereby making it a leader. Which has been true in the very recent past. *pats out flames on shoulders* It’s a figure of speech the same way that the sun never set on the British Empire.

By: bagnew

bagnew — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:53:10 +0000

Wow… so America is the Leader of the Free World because England had an empire, and because America has returned captured land? As an Australian, how does that give your country leadership of mine, or is Australia not part of the free world now?
Please, lose your damn arrogance. America is the leader only of those areas owned by America, not any other part of the Free World. Or maybe I just missed that event recently in which Australia and the rest of the free world gave over leadership to America, but I’m guessing I would have heard of that.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:15:09 +0000

Doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is not the name at the top of the ticket, and Obama’s is. If Biden were at the top then we’d have a different discussion to have. And as far as ‘leader of the free world’ is concerned, at one point in time ‘the sun never set on the British Empire’, and on top of that, the US is one of the only countries in the world to give back conquered territory. If we kept the land that we had wrested from the hands of dictators inthe last 200 years, we’d be much bigger than we are now.

‘leader of the free world’. arrogance much?
if you are the leader of the free world, why doesn’t the rest of the free world ever get to vote?
and she’s basically running for president…. come on… Mccain is over 70 years old and has a history of aggressive cancer and shows symptoms of PTSD. You know he won’t be running the show for long.

Deal with… what? Scrutiny and criticism that EVERY other politician has to go
through? McCain’s been slammed, Barack’s been slammed. They all get slammed. Its not anyone’s fault but her own that she gives everyone so much ammunition to use against her. You cant play the whole “Oh pity me” card when you ACCEPT a position. You know full well whats going to happen to you, your family, your church, your friends, your views, and you recognize the consequences of every single thing you say can possibly be twisted and used against you. This is politics, this is how it works. And if you didnt know that. You should get… the… hell… out.
