[Untitled] Right-Wingers and Neocons Love Obama's Cabinet Appointments | War ...: I see these appointments by Obama as making a hard play for the new "Center" - he is ensuring his re-election in 4 years by being the definition of the "middle." He will have so many of the "other guys" surrounding him that the republicans will have almost no tactical angle to challenge him - especially if he can publicly fight for health care reform and "end the war in Iraq."

[Untitled] OpEdNews » Response to Fox Propaganda: Meanwhile, we heard loudly from FNC that Obama earlier voted against a funding bill that did not include a time line to end the illegal Iraq war (illegal under international law—hardly discussed in the U.S., well known around the world; a war that the Pope denounced, a fact not many Catholics seem to know, otherwise they couldn’t hold abortion rights support against a candidate and ignore the other candidate's support for an illegal war that killed so many children, women and men.) John McCain also voted against an Iraq funding measure he didn’t agree with.
