Is that the equivalent to the "Black Clinton;" and wasn't Clinton in many
respects was the redneck Democratic version of G.H. Bush?

EUROPE REFUSES TO JOIN OBAMA'S AFGHAN WAR ESCALATION
Telegraph, UK - Washington had hoped to persuade European allies to
contribute
more in the wake of the President Barack Obama's election and the
announcement
this week of the deployment of 17,00 extra American soldiers.
American defense secretary Robert Gates condemned their failure to do so far
as
"disappointing" with European states promising to deploy no more than just a
few
hundred extra troops.
Speaking before a meeting of NATO defense ministers in the Polish city of
Krakow, Mr Gates said member states must send reinforcements in preparation
for
the Afghan presidential elections in August. . .
With public opposition to the Afghan war hardening across Europe, and
disquiet
in many European capitals over a command structure in Afghanistan that keeps
the
vast bulk of the 55,000-strong American force separate from NATO, few expect
any
member to commit significant additional forces.
Comment:
It is not just the war on Afghanistan, as bad as that is. But also the
continuing invocation of the States Secret Privilege to prevent civil
litigation
on rendition and torture issues that are already public. The refusal to
investigate or prosecute criminality in the Bush43 administration. The
continuation of rendition and torture. Wiretapping. Lobbyists had copies of
the
bailout before the Congress, presumably because lobbyists wrote the bailout.
And
more.
Obama has earned the appellation Bush44, and it's only a month into his
occupancy of the White House...
