Watch The "We Are One" Concert! President-elect Barack Obama!

Watch The "We Are One" Concert! President-elect Barack Obama!

You'll never see an Inauguration Concert like this again. Great stuff!
You can see it at the HBO We Are One Concert.

Barack Obama is Almost In! 

The parents of Barack Obama would surely be proud. 
I think the whole world is proud.

So, George W. Bush is OUT, and Barack Obama is to be sworn-in on Tuesday. Looks like there's gonna be a big change in Washington but what does it all mean for the rest of the world?

During the Presidency of George W. Bush Americans witnessed the worst terrorist attack on US soil in its history. How did George W. Bush handle it? I guess that will be decided by historians but most Americans believe his term in office was mired in deception.

Will Barack Obama be able to uplift the stature of the USA in the world? Who knows! Can he do any worse than the previous administration? Maybe not.

So as the Obama Train pulls into Washington to take his place as The First African American President in the History of America the whole world is watching with baited breath.

Meanwhile the Gaza Strip is a hotbed of violence, Iraq is, according to George W. Bush, a democracy, and Afghanistan is still a warzone. Looks like Barack Obama has his hands full.

If you want to understand more about these men and their place in history, learn more about George W. Bush and learn more about Barack Obama Biography. It's where you'll get the facts about Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton before Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Senator Hillary Clinton, soon to be Secretary of State, is before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee today and says the United States has to address Israel's security needs and the Palestinians' aspirations for a state of their own.

Is the Senate Foreign Relations Committee going to actually scrutinize Senator Clinton for this post or is it a done deal?
Take a wild guess... DONE DEAL!

As for the Gaza situation there is very little Foreign Relations taking place.

Meanwhile the bombs keep falling, the bullets keep flying, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee can sit around rubber stamping the good Senator from New York State that was almost President of the United States of America.

In any event, the statement is as innocuous as can be. Yes, why not just state the obvious and have everyone in Senate Foreign Relations Committee  do absolutely nothing to try and rectify the situation.

Sounds like Business as Usual to me! Someone needs to do something about the situation NOW. Not in a week or a month. 

So here's my question: What will the incoming US President DO about the Palestinians and the Israelis or is that a question everyone will continue to evade?

Hey! What's up with that Stuff?

Democracy coming to Iraq.

Well it's about time. If you believe it.
I view the whole situation as a bad joke.

Sure, the violence is not as bad as it was,
but what does that prove? Humm!

I guess real democracy in Iraq will happen if there is
real equality between all the different factions 
of Iraqi society.

Anyway, I won't hold my breath yet, but it's 
a good thing for the Americans to get out of there!

Considering that they should have never been there,
it IS a step in the right direction.

But I have a question: 
Are the Iraqis really ready to control their country
and will it really be what we call Democracy?

Probably NOT!

Hey! What's Up with that Stuff?
