Obama’s War On Terror May Resemble Bush’s In Some Areas
By News One February 18, 2009 8:47 am
From Charlie Savage at The New York Times:
Even as it pulls back from harsh interrogations and other sharply debated aspects of George W. Bush’s “war on terrorism,” the Obama administration is quietly signaling continued support for other major elements of its predecessor’s approach to fighting Al Qaeda.

I feel as if it doesnt matter what race he is cause if he was a white man or n e race and still have the same beliefs as to help change america then what difference does it make. Damn why some people gotta be ignorant. Leave the man alone and let him do his job!!!!!!
IT IS REALLY SAD TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DAMNING THIS MAN AND HE HASN’T BEEN IN OFFICE A MONTH ARE YOU SERIOUS!! TO THE ONE’S ALREADY DOUBTING THIS MAN YOU ALL ARE F**KING PUPPETS YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE MEDIA PUTS OUT HERE. THE STIMULUS PLAN WILL WORK IF YOU READ HOW IT WAS STRUCTURED YOU WOULD KNOW THAT. THE MEDIA IS DESIGNED TO SCARE YOU NOT TO INFORM YOU. JUST LIKE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE THEY SHOWED WHAT OBAMA WAS DOING AT HIS RALLIES BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED WHAT MCCAIN WAS DOING OR SAYING AT HIS. WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS MAN WAS SENT TO US FROM GOD HE WASN’T SENT HERE FOR THE BLACKS ALONE HE WAS SENT HERE FOR ALL RACES BECAUSE OF THE LAST EIGHT YEARS OF BROKEN POLITICS THIS COUNTRY IS IN DIRE NEED OF HELP. PEOPLE LOSING THEIR JOBS, MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS CLOSING FOR GOOD,FORE CLOSURE IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH, DECENT PEOPLE CAN HARDLY AFFORD HEALTH CARE,KIDS NOT GETTING A GOOD EDUCATION. DON’T BELIEVE FOR MINUTE THIS MAN IS ANYTHING LIKE BUSH
4 yrs.. Obama has 4 yrs to work with.. And already he’s been judged and hasn’t even been in office a month yet.. Wow.. I hope Obama saw this one coming.. Which I’m sure he did.. But there’s the difference between Obama and any president before him. He’s black (obviously) but he will be judged-every-single step of the way like know of pres before him.
Now i guess people are really opening their eyes and seeing not too much difference in Obama and Bush..cept skin color and looks. Stimulus plan that wont stimulate the economy. He is warring on terror like bush…and now he is getting angry and just being pissed off. Looks like in less than 100days he is where Bush was in 8yrs. Good job
Damn can u give this man at least 6 solid months before you start critiquing his progress. He hasn’t even been in office a solid month yet, to be talking about what he’s not doing enough of yet. He hasn’t even got his cabinet together yet.. Two terms I’d like to throw out there Prioritization and Patience. Let’s take a step back and view what this man has already done and is doing for this country at this very moment (in under 2 months). What I would really hate to see is the public play into the right wings/reps hand down playing everything Obama’s trying to do and bringing up every little thing he’s not doing (probably because he hasn’t got to it yet).
Yea, give him time..to hurt your damn feelings. How ’bout something better…. you slow a** youngin’s who do nothing all day but go to the mall to get ready 4 the club, work at the plantation at a dead end job, watch black ppl degrade themselves on BET all day…how bout you pick up a book or research a few things and find out who was backing Obama from the jump.
Ya’lll took the time to vote for him, now take the time to Actually Know and Learn about Politics and whats going on in the world. Google Brzezinski(your Real President) & Donald Rumsfeld & find out that he puts rat poison in 66% percent of the foods you eat to make sure you’re as dumb as you all are & that your causing your babies gradual brain damage & health problems by feeding them that fluoridated baby water they’re selling you-fluoride is in rat poison too you know(if it dont apply-let it fly-I know Everyone isnt dumb-if you were smart you’d know Im not talking to you
.
Flouride, Aspartame, literal poison in your food & water. Obama was trained way before he even became Senator of Chicago to do what is about to be done. Wale up now or find out the hard way. Im not an Obama hater-but anyone with common sense will @ least realize Now-that They are not gonna allow an agenda that doesnt support their own. Coulda told you that a long time ago-but black ppl have to see to believe and alot of times not even Then-you still have ‘Eyes that Cannot See’.
Learn some things ppl-we dont have that much time. First and foremost-learn about Africom and whats Really up with that if you dont know. For those that like Youtube-all you need to do is copy/paste the things I mentioned and you’ll learn alot.
If you care about your life.
Nobody knows what was in the black book that was shown to obama when he was taken into the white house and briefed on everything that was going on… his view on the war may have changed once he seen all the Pentagon briefs. He may now realize he just can’t yank the troops out like he thought b4, this may be a necessary evil that may have to continue for a little while longer.
Obama hasn’t even been president long enough to say he is similar too Bush… get off his nuts and lets give him some time first.
Oh please..He is not going to change anything that “they” will not allow him to change. He is finding out that the same people that was pulling GWB’s chain is now pulling his chain..or in his case whipping the lash behind his bleep.
When dealing with sneaky people sometimes you have to be sneaky. But it is good to hold to a higher standard if you can.
Oh so what…same BS in politics. What, do you honestly think his policy would change just because he is black..Some people change their tune real quick when they get to that place they want to be. For the record I think BP just reports the news not necessary agreeing with it
You have to change things in increments…its been less than three months…subversive bigotry on an african american slanting website is deplorable…evolve.
