Hrm, the way i see it Bush's policies have already taken a
momentum of its own in the Middle east. I don't see how
Obama's going to be able to do much to affect it, the American
people are already too hyped up on the fear of the crazy terrorists
who hate America's Freedom and Democracy.
On the other hand, the hate for America in the Middle East is no
longer able to be resolved by just American forces pulling out.
They won't forget it, and they would hit back any chance they
get.
And the vicious circle continues.....
You view it as the economic dream team, but i see it as the
appointment of people who propagated the problem in the first
place. Though his appointment of Steven Chu as Energy Secretary is
a surprise, a scientist actually in a place of political power?
While i do see Obama improving international relations with the
world, the American people as a whole (From my impression)
still sees their way of life as the non negotiable way of life for
everyone else, despite it causing so much problems for the rest of
the world.
Obama's real problem is not going to be with the world, it's
going to be with his own people.
Change? Obama Inner
Circle Filled With Bilderbergers

FOR TWO YEARS, Americans have heard an unrelenting mantra of
change emanating from the campaign trail. But now that
President-elect Barack Obama has begun forming his cabinet, we’re
seeing a cadre of more deeply entrenched insiders than any
administration that has preceded it.
In regard to key foreign policy advisors, all three of Obama’s
selections either initially supported the Iraq war, or still do. On
the economic front, each appointee maintains a close relationship
with the Jewish triad of Ben Bernanke, Robert Rubin and Alan
Greenspan—as well as bailout engineer Henry Paulson. Barack Obama
himself is a Council on Foreign Relations member, has strong ties
to Zbigniew Brzezinski, and participated in a clandestine meeting
with Hillary Clinton at Bilderberg member Diane Feinstein’s house
at the time when 2008 Bilderberg members were congregating only a
few miles away.
Below is an overview of Obama’s top 14 selections to date. When
considering their collective histories, a trend becomes clear,
proving that the more things change under Obama, the more they stay
the same.
