Another Gaffe, Castro Says To Obama: Nuke Iran, Get Re Elected

iPods, Buttons, and Days, Oh my.

Hey folks,

You know, if you were the President, or worked for him, would you NOT think that you have access to, well, ANYTHING you may need? Happy Sunday to you. This IS the OPNTalk blog, I AM Peter Carlock, your Provocutor of thought.

I'm serious, First we had the iPod Incident. Then Hillary goes off to "Reset" relations with Russia, yet did not take the time to have someone who is Russian, varify that "Peregruzka" means Reset. It doesn't. "Perezagruzka" means Reset. "Peregruzka" means Overcharge. {Laughing}

Now? Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, has been left red faced after mistakenly sending a birthday message to the Queen a week early. Couldn't anyone CHECK? Truth is, they just do not care.

Comming right up today.

Did you catch this? Fidel Castro hints to Obama to Nuke Iran to win the next election and a second term. {Laughing} I'm not making this up. According to AP - Fidel Castro claims Obama lives in fantasy world By WILL WEISSERT (AP) – 2 days ago

HAVANA — Fidel Castro speculated Wednesday that a nuclear strike on Iran might help President Barack Obama win a second term in the White House and also suggested the United States could attack North Korea.

The former leader of Cuba, who has not been seen in public for nearly four years, also portrayed the U.S. president as a victim of fantasies planted in his mind by sinister advisers.

The column published by Cuban state media floated the idea that a nuclear attack on Iran — perhaps even without U.S. authorization — might help Obama win re-election in 2012.

"Could Obama enjoy the emotions of a second presidential election without having the Pentagon or the State of Israel, whose conduct does not in the least obey the decisions of the United States, use nuclear weapons against Iran?" he asked. "How would life on our planet be after that?"

It's a question he did not answer, nor did he elaborate.

He's on a roll

Castro also referred to "the current danger North Korea could be attacked by the United States" because of "the recent incident that happened in that country's waters" — apparently a reference to allegations that North Korea attacked and sank a South Korean warship, killing 46 sailors.

Castro, 83, said China might be able to block such an attack by using its veto in the U.N. Security Council, implying that Washington was likely to seek that body's authorization before a move against North Korea.

The government of North Korea has denied involvement in the torpedo attack near the countries' sea border in March. During a visit to Seoul last month, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the North should face international consequences for the sinking.

Castro often has praised Obama in recent years, but painted him as a pawn of the global capitalist machine on Wednesday.

"President Obama can give hundreds of speeches, trying to reconcile contradictions that are irreconcilable ... dreaming of the magic of his well-articulated phrases," he wrote.

But Castro said Obama "makes concessions to personalities and groups totally lacking in ethics and draws fantasy worlds that only fit in his head and that unscrupulous advisers, knowing his tendencies, plant in his mind."

This is the way the World Leaders see Obama. As someone that lives in a dream world. Nothing to do with reality. But they need not worry, if he has his way, there will be no "Capitalist Machine" Hell there will be no Capitalism at all.

Clinton Overshadowed by Obama, They Are Not Happy

Not all is peachy in Libland.

Hey folks,

Happy Thursday. You know, I was actually over at the Washington Post reading about the Capital Police shooting someone. Of course, what would that lead you to believe? Yup. Nope. It turns out it was just a traffic stop and the guy ran flashing a gun so they shot him. No big deal. But While I was reading it, I caught this headline from the LA Times - Hillary Clinton's star power overshadowed, analysts say

Really? By whom I could never guess. So of course I had to click over to it. It's by Paul Richter July 16, 2009

The Secretary of State has seen her debut months dominated by her boss, President Obama, as well as a White House inner circle that has strong ties to him, observers say.

{laughing} REALLY? This is a great piece. I will share it with you because you have to fully understand these people to fully appreciate this piece.

Reporting from Washington -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Wednesday for a new "architecture of global cooperation" in a wide-ranging address aimed at raising her visibility as a chief voice of U.S. foreign policy.

Outlining her view of global relationships, Clinton said the administration's goal is to enlist more partners, including individuals and groups, as well as governments, in solving world problems.

OK so pretty standard so far.

"We will offer a place at the table to any nation, group, or citizen willing to shoulder a fair share of the burden," she said, speaking to an audience of experts at the Council on Foreign Relations.

OK.

Clinton reiterated the administration's positions on several key issues, including Iran and Middle East peace, without breaking new ground. She said that while the administration wanted talks with Iran, "the offer will not remain open indefinitely." Aides said Clinton has been eager to return to a full schedule of work after being largely sidelined for the last month by a broken elbow that forced her to cancel an overseas trip and other meetings. But some analysts believe that her problems extend beyond the injury, and that she has been overshadowed in her first six months as chief U.S. diplomat.

Iran? Why is the offer STILL open NOW? Of course, she will not answer that.

Though the former New York senator and first lady brought star power to her post, they say, the debut months of the administration's foreign policy have been dominated by her boss, President Obama, as well as a White House inner circle that has strong ties to him.

Some are NOT happy about that. This is where you have to KNOW these people as I do. This is where I need to help some of you to fully understand, not all is peachy in Libland.

Clinton has had to share the spotlight as well with other foreign policy heavyweights, such as Mideast envoy George J. Mitchell, Afghanistan-Pakistan representative Richard C. Holbrooke, and Vice President Joe Biden. Though administration officials insist that she is a major player in all top decisions, she has not been the leading voice so far on the urgent national security issues -- Iran, North Korea, Arab-Israeli peace, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq.

No. They just keep shipping her away. Out of the MMD {Mainstream Media Drones} spotlight. That is reserved for Obama himself. I love this following statement.

"It's fair to say that in the first six months it's been a very Obama-centric policy," said David J. Rothkopf, a foreign policy specialist and author, and a former Clinton administration official. "Obama has brought a huge break with Bush and Cheney -- he is the foreign policy." He said Obama has also been surrounded by influential aides, such as chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, senior advisor David Axelrod and Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, who have often appeared as spokesmen for the new foreign policy.

THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS. He IS it. It is all about HIM. Not the country. Not YOU. HIM. It has and will always be about Obama to Obama. Now even some in the MMD are starting to realize this. They do not like that Hillary is being forced to be nothing more than a puppet. Actually, more like a pet.

State Department aides billed Wednesday's speech as a major foreign policy address and distributed excerpts in advance in an apparent effort to heighten interest.

It didn't work {Laughing}

State Department officials dismissed portrayals of Clinton as a secondary player.

Mascot, Pet, secondary player, whatever.

But some State Department officials have said there has been concern at the department that Clinton has not gotten enough credit for her efforts to date.

That's because it IS all about Obama. Obama's foreign policy is about Obama. Domestic Policy? Obama. Healthcare? Obama. Nothing else matters. Not to Obama, the Loons in Congress, or most of the Mainstream Media. Some are starting to get upset, and some Clintonites are becoming impatient with all this, but most are still clinging to that false hope of "The One." Obama. There can only be one. She ain't it, and that really ticks them off.

I told you why he was picking her. He was trying to make sure that she could not run in 2012. He was in essence throwing her a bone so she would allow him to play President and he would not have to worry about her. But with Obama doing her job, such as traveling the World on apology tour after apology tour, along with doing all the other posts jobs, Obama is not allowing her to do her's. She is just kept out of the way, and in essence, she is kept as nothing more than her name. No real power. No real job to do. This is all about Obama. Clinton? Clinton who?

Sex, Drugs, Race, War, "The Rock Star"

Hey folks,

He smoked pot. Used cocaine. He is a good looking Black man. "Clean, and articulate." The Mass Media LOVES him. They forgive is indiscretions. They are not only NOT going after him as they did with others. They are flooding your mind with his image. They have put this guy on a pedestal, turned up the spot lights, and they are ready for the show. I wonder what Hillary thinks of yet another Weekend of all Obama, all the time.

Let’s see, first he talks about his drug used in the past, something he regrets. They he says the faith of a candidate doesn’t matter. {He has to over come that whole story about him attending a Muslim school} He said about faith,

"If your name is Barack Hussein Obama, you can expect it, some of that. I think the majority of voters know that I'm a member of the United Church of Christ, and that I take my faith seriously," Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"Ultimately what I think voters will be looking for is not so much a litmus test on faith as an assurance that a candidate has a value system and that is appreciative of the role that religious faith can play in helping shape people's lives," he said.

Then he even admits that he has a lot against him. About race and experience?

"I think that early on it may spark some curiosity or a sense of novelty, but I think very quickly people will be judging me on the merits. Do I have a message that resonates with people's concerns about health care and education, jobs and terrorism?" he said. "And if they do, then I think race won't be a major factor."

He also admitted he has a lack of experience in comparison to the other candidates. This doesn’t stop him from going after Hillary though.

Senator Barack Obama piled pressure on Hillary Clinton over Iraq, as his Democratic presidential rival faced mounting scrutiny over her vote to authorize the war in 2002.

Obama questioned how the New York Senator would make good on her vow to end what he is calling a "tragic" conflict that should never have been waged, as he fired up packed campaign rallies in Iowa and his hometown of Chicago.

Remember, she said that if Bush did not end the war before she had to deal with it. She WOULD! {Laughing} although, as usual, she didn’t say how. He said,

"I am not clear on how she would proceed at this point to wind down the war in a specific way," Obama, 45, told reporters when asked to critique Clinton's plans for ending the bloody US engagement during a campaign stop in Iowa.

"I know she has stated that she thinks the war should end by the start of the (next) president's first term .... beyond that though, how she wants to accomplish that, I am not clear, I would let her address those issues."

Then Obama made news when he got blasted from Australia's Prime Minister John Howard,

CANBERRA, Australia (CNN) -- Australia's conservative Prime Minister John Howard said Sunday that victory for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his party in next year's presidential election would be a boon for terrorists.

"If I were running al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008, and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats," Howard said, speaking on "Sunday," a TV show on Australia's Nine Network.

Obama? He said he was flatter. He said,

"If he's ginned up to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and send them to Iraq," he said. "Otherwise it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric."

Yes the MMD has turned this whole thing around to all Obama, all the time. I think they have made their choice. The Clintonese and the Hillatites cannot be happy. Neither can she. Look for her to strike back SOON and hard.

Then again, there IS another possibility here folks. That is that she is behind this whole media blitz to begin with. Have them build him up to the standard so high where he cannot meet it. Sit back, and watch him self destruct. Just a thought.

Obama Stirring fear in Finacing

Hey folks,

It seems that the all Obama all the time thing has gotten some worried about their ability to raise funds. According to The USA Today "Washington" section.

"WASHINGTON — The competition among presidential contenders for the Democratic Party's most influential donors and fundraisers grew more intense Tuesday with Sen. Barack Obama's decision to raise money to explore a 2008 race.

The move by the Illinois senator comes as many of the party's top-tier fundraisers sit on the sidelines and size up the potential rivalry between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton."

It goes on to talk about how much various candidates are raising. It talks about the stars coming out to support anyone Liberal. As a matter of fact some will support ALL the LWL candidates.

"Margery Tabankin, a Democratic activist who advises Barbra Streisand and other Hollywood figures on giving, says many Hollywood Democrats are looking closely at Clinton, Obama and former senator John Edwards. "You will see people writing checks to all three — not cynically, but to let them each get their message out there," she said."

Then you have this. This just made me laugh,

"Billionaire George Soros, who gave more than $15 million to liberal groups working to defeat President Bush in 2004, will probably give to several Democrats but "has no plans to become actively involved in the primary," aide Michael Vachon said."

{Laughing} That’s because he will be behind the scenes. Make no mistake about it, who Soros likes, will get the most press coverage. As we learned from the last election, that could be enough.

What about Hillary?

"Clinton aide Jonathan Mantz said big donors will support the former first lady. "We are going to be in a very solid position going into this race, if we decide to do it," he said.

Clinton has $14 million left over from her Senate campaign that she can use for a White House bid."

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Obama seems to be the Golden Boy. He’s in a very good position to get the big money.

One, he is a minority. This means he will be a lock for the minority vote. People will take that into SERIOUS consideration.

Two, he’s "Sexy" A media dream and a very real posiblity to steal the women votes away from Hillary.

Three, there are many that do not think Hillary has a snowball’s change in hell to win.

No my friends, big donors want to have something for their investments. They will not just through money away on nothing. They want results. Just more proof that Hillary will have to be even more on the defensive, and offensive, when it comes to BO
