Obama Foreign Policy May Keep Some Bush Initiatives
- Text size
Ken Fireman and Viola Gienger
Bloomberg
November 5, 2008
President-elect Barack Obama is committed to a foreign policy of intense diplomatic engagement with allies and adversaries alike and an international approach to curb nuclear proliferation and terrorism.
He will move to implement pledges to accelerate the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, build up American forces in Afghanistan and ask allies to play a bigger role in the fight against a resurgent Taliban, advisers say.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Obama, 47, has cast his foreign policy approach as pragmatic rather than ideological, focused on diplomacy and partnerships and not hog-tied to Iraq. He calls it a more modern strategy for the boundary-blind threats of the 21st century.
“To all those watching from beyond our shores, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand,” Obama said in his victory speech in Chicago’s Grant Park. “To those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you.”
In a number of areas, there is likely to be continuity with the policies of President George W. Bush.
China, Russia
Obama has described a middle path on China much like Bush’s, seeking expanded contacts while pressing for economic concessions. He has criticized Russia for supporting breakaway Georgian territories while eschewing confrontational measures such as expulsion from summits of the Group of Eight economic powers.

– Obama Foreign Policy May Keep Some Bush Initiatives –
No s---. It’s called a process of change… A slow long worn out fight to move our country in the direction of freedom and democracy.

#1, what happened to obama swearing he’d stop warrantless wiretapping? He’s reversed that now.

Is an Obama win really a commentary on race relations in America or the utter contempt at this moment in time for Bush’s Policies and Republicans in general?

Hey guys… look on the bright side.
Now Obama can give away $845 billion (or more) of our money to the UN!
Oh boy!
It could be worse! At least McCain didn’t win.

The process last night and in the months leading to the election was quite interesting. We have a current president with terrible approval ratings and a presidential candidate delivering a message of unifying change and prosperity. Whichever Illuminati group you choose to believe is running things “behind the scenes” simply decided to take ownership of this candidate and take his blind, mass support with them. There is no doubt that change is not going to occur, what we will see is the blind, mass support for all the same old policies and rhetoric of the Bush admin. The difference here will be that the supporters of “change” will be compelled by ego to claim these policies are necessary and fair simply because they identify with their chosen president. They didn’t need to steal an election or exercise violence, all they did was give the people (those that disapprove of the current Bush regime) exactly who they wanted.
I believe that diligence and activism ended last night for the majority of Obama supporters. The job is done, they got what they wanted. For the next 4 years the only change these people will see is within their own perception. It will be far easier for supporters to “justify” a continuation of Bush policies under Obama’s reign than take the civic responsibility to “be the change” and exercise our power over our elected officials.
There was no need for a stolen election when the Illuminati have lulled us in to such comfortable complacency.

Bush said it will be a smooth transition for Obama to the White House. (obvously to me, a nod to the NWO and that they are both working for the same people.) go to http://www.yahoo.com for the article

Similarities between Bush and Obama
1. Abstinence: Bush expanded community-based abstinence education during his term, including a $28 million budget increase for 2009 in an effort to “Teach both abstinence and contraception to teens.” Obama concurred in April when he said: “We want to make sure that, even as we are teaching responsible sexuality and we are teaching abstinence to children, that we are also making sure that they’ve got enough understanding about contraception.”
2. Affirmative action: Bush said of the 2003 University of Michigan affirmative action case: “I strongly support diversity of all kinds, including racial diversity in higher education. But the method used by the University of Michigan to achieve this important goal is fundamentally flawed” — because it depended solely on race. Bush has said other factors, such as socioeconomic status, should be considered, which would include poor white students.
Obama now agrees with that view. “Inside Higher Ed” referred in May to “Obama’s suggestion that he may be ready to change the focus of affirmative action policies in higher education — away from race to economic class. … In his debate in Philadelphia with Hillary Clinton, he said in response to a question, that his own privileged daughters do not deserve affirmative action preferences, and that working-class students of all colors do.”
3. Budgets: Obama voted for Bush’s budgets, which included 19 spending bills.
4. Capital punishment: Like Bush, Obama supports capital punishment. He spoke out in opposition to the recent Supreme Court decision that denied the death penalty for child rapists. And in his 2006 memoir, Obama said, “I believe there are some crimes — mass murder, the rape and murder of a child — so heinous that the community is justified in expressing the full measure of its outrage by meting out the ultimate punishment.”
5. Education: Obama supports charter schools, as does Bush, and merit pay for teachers, and he voted in favor of supporting the president’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
6. Economics: Obama told reporters that he agreed with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Bush’s bailout package, then voted for the $700 billion plan. And despite routinely criticizing “the Bush tax cuts,” Obama is now offering tax cuts of his own (although only for the 95 percent of taxpayers earning less than $250,000 a year). What a concept!
7. Energy: In signing the $12.3 billion Energy Policy Act of 2005, Bush said it “promotes dependable, affordable, and environmentally sound production and distribution of energy for America’s future.” Obama voted for the energy plan and called it a “first step toward decreasing America’s dependence on foreign oil.”
8. Faith-based initiatives/fatherhood: Bush is well known for his commitment to the faith-based community — with initiatives for the poor and on fatherhood — and he expanded the ability to allow faith-based providers a seat at the funding table. Obama, who has railed against Bush’s efforts, has still found a way to embrace them, saying he would “expand” faith-based initiatives. He used his Father’s Day speech to echo the president’s Fatherhood Initiative.
9. FISA: Of the Senate bill passage that rewrote intelligence laws to grant immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in the Bush administration’s wiretapping program, Bush said: “This vital intelligence bill will allow our national security professionals to quickly and effectively monitor the plans of terrorists outside the United States, while respecting the liberties of the American people.”
Frankly I am much more concerned about Obama’s domestic plans. One million spies added to the streets doesnt sound like a good idea to me.

OK EVERYONE…. go to Youtube and look everywhere for Obama videos. Pick the ones who have just posted and also pick the ones that are most viewed and post in the comments section things like this.
((Im not a rascist I supported Cynthia McKinney who is also black and was running for president. I hope you noticed her on your ballot. AWESOME movie about the war on TERROR. This movie BLEW MY MIND! Someone did alot of research for this movie. Go to GOOGLE and search for “FABLED ENEMIES” also “TERRORSTORM”. It is truely amazing how the intelligence black ops work. They are masters of the art of illusion, magic and desception))
((New York Times reported September 13, 2001, Joe Biden, as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, met with Mahmood Ahmed on 9/11, Director of Pakistan’s secret service the ISI, who order Saeed Sheikh to wire $100,000 to 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. Ahmed also met with George Tenet CIA head, senators Bob Graham and John Kyl, Rep. Porter Goss, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, and Secretary of State Colin Powell. The Bankers RULE the president has no POWER))
((Now that a Democrat has been elected president, the Democrats in Congress have no excuse. They can no longer pretend that they have to “hold back” to win the election. They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and company for Iraq.
They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges for torture. They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for spying on Americans. They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for 9/11. NO EXCUSES. NO MORE. Have TRIALS NOW.))
This is your CHANCE to help wake up the MASSES… before the NWO shuts down the internet. HURRY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE !!

After the Obama-nation is made official, the fact that he is not a US citizen will be made public. The Hippocritic (oops, I mean Democratic) Party will deny any knowledge of this treason and in a great show of bipartisan harmony the Republicrats will shred the Constitution some more to allow non-US-citizens to take the oval office. This will set the stage for our next Fuhrer, Heir Schwarzenegger.
Just drink the kool aid and prepare to take a shower.
