[...] Here is the thing: what counter-indications had Obama given that he will govern as a progressive? I honestly can’t think of any. He clearly must be blowing some sort of progressive activist dog whistle, given the caucus and support he has received, but I haven’t heard the call . . [W]hat I don’t get are ideological progressives who think that Obama is one, too. . Chuck Hagel as Sec Def is just the latest indication that Obama is more about placating High Broderism, Tim Russert and the Washington Post editorial board than he is about transformative progressive change.

[...] [I]t is important to help younger readers understand that Goolsbee’s conversation with the Counsel General (CONGEN in State Department speak) is a senior Canadian Embassy official. A Consulate is a place where folks go for a visa or to work on immigration problems. The Consulate is subordinate to the Embassy in Washington. Best to think of it as a branch of the Embassy. Clearly the CTV report confused Embassy with Consulate. Bottomline is the same–a senior Obama advisor told a representative of the Government of Canada (in this case, the CONGEN) to ignore Obama’s rhetoric (retrieved 2008-03-03 from: http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/03/03/obama-nailed-on-nafta-gate/) [...]

Come on Obama, keep it interesting! Why not deny that anyone named Goolsbee works for you? Why not deny that CTV ever made the broadcast? Why not deny the existence of Canada? At least that would have been interesting. —– Does anyone still believe that this man will usher in a new age of anything?

This story stinks like rotten fish- show me catch, right out of the water, or better said, the facts. Until then, looks like Hillary trying to gain ground on Barack the hard way;

Canadians Have Memo re: Obama Advsier’s NAFTA Remarks…

by D. Cupples | In Ohio last Tuesday (Feb 26), Barack Obama told a debate-audience that he favors opting out of NAFTA if the agreement isn’t re-negotiated so as to help more Americans keep their jobs. The next day, CTV reported: Within the last month,…

This is sheer stupid to discuss the internal US matters with foreign government without a discussion in congress / senat. This act will create damaging impact in the US economy. Politicians like obama thinks that the people will forget all that he promised in few days time after the election. Because he knows that he has promised so much that its difficult for him to keep track of so how can people keep track of these things?

This will lead to a dangerous situation for the nation when it comes to foreign policies. Guys if obama discusses with foreign government without having a debate with congressmen and senators as he did on NAFTA. It will be just his hidden agenda that you will see

No politician even the aboriginal tribal leaders will not discuss the internal economic factors with foreign governments unless they debate among parlament and congress to reach conclusions.

This act seems to be a rediculous! Think about what he will be talking to Iran and Iraq folks?

One day it maybe the action. Survival is the #1 priority, not only for a nation, it’s citizens.

Thus, Hillary is wise to also say nothing is off the table. A CiC will have to make trying decisions, and sometimes wars are necessary.

If anyone claims that all wars can be avoided, can definitely be disregarded as being disconnected from reality. Mankind has had wars since the dawn of time, and will have wars to the end of time.

We just like to avoid them as they’re pretty expensive!

They’re more about “unity” over there at TalkLeft. I left posting there, because they’re more interested in being “So happy together” (and so offended by calling Obama, OBABA [let alone Barack Hussein Obama]), than fighting to win.

I’m more interested in winning the election (forget the DNC nomination), even if it takes running over O-Bomba with his short NAFTA bus to do so.

Either fight the fight, or just give McCain the election. It’s that simple. No win, the party will disintergrate anyhow over blaming everyone but themselves for picking the loser.

Just being mad or singing one to sleep isn’t enough. ACTION is what matters.

Big Tent Democrat frequently posts about Obama failures yet still, tepidly, supports him. I don’t get it. I really don’t.

He agreed with a comment from someone today that having a “black” president would be more significant than having a “female” president. I don’t get that either.

Quite honestly, the dishonety, the unfairness, the lies, the distortions, the misogony the Clinton-hating from left and right has me so depressed I wonder if I even care anymore.

I will vote, just because I always do as a civic duty, but I will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee, I could not vote for McCain. So if worst comes to worse I’ll just write in Hillary Clinton and vote for any other Democrat I think worthwhile.
Wonder how many of them will turn out to be back-stabbing, Blue Dog Democrats who wouldn’t know a progressive idea if it bit them in the ass. Like “The One”. Gag!
