Intelligence Policy to Stay Largely Intact
WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama is unlikely to radically overhaul controversial Bush administration intelligence policies, ADVISERS say, an approach that is almost certain to create tension within the Democratic Party.
when I see a reply such as yours it reminds me of what a 5th grade teacher of mine used to say when the class used to get a little antsy as she was writing on the blackboard. You would turn and face the class and say "Empty barrels make the most noise" which has been proved time and time again by all the comments you post.-

Funny, before today I hadn't heard of DenCuddy, would this Cuddy happen to be related to the funny one on that show about a drug-addicted doctor with a limp that I like so much?

My point being that yes "empty barrels make the most noise" so far he's been more silent than you have, Mr. Hotair.
Or are you going to deny the name of the website you got this crap from? Don't, it's indefensible -

All one has to do is read the second sentence, see that word rumours ???? Yup rumours is what you post as true and that shows me that you are still in the 5th grade.
Your posts are very much like Peyton Place,,,,just a rumour mill is all

Dionys -- As it happens, politics is politics; this is real life now. In any political contest, a candidate will say what he/she thinks is necessary to be elected. No knock on anyone; that 's just the rather sordid nature of the occupation. Whether what is said is actually believed can run anywhere along the spectrum from unbelief to strong belief. I (and I assume others) heard McC say things that didn't sound like him. I'm not familiar with Obama (who is?) ; but I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of the same was heard in his camp.

Now GWB at the time of the election was immensely unpopular. So candidate Obama's tactics included painting McC as another Bush (remember McSame?). This in spite of the two of them being considerably different people. Nothing unusual here, just standard politics-- yucky, but that's politics by nature I'm afraid. McC's unlike him statements were meant to pull in voters from the right; candidate O'babma's, from the left.
Anyway, when all was said and done, everyone heard what they wanted to hear and candidate Obama was elected. Now he has to govern. It doesn't surprise me that some of his more leftish constituency seem to be dismayed because he doesn't now seem to be as far along their path as they thought he was. At the risk of being very cynical-sounding, nothing is impossible if you don't have to do it yourself.
Seems to me that at this juncture we need is something that works. IMHO, ideology (of either the left or right) is going to be more a hinderance than a help. Obama seems to me to be a decent type, certainly not the devil incarnate, though he's woefully inexperienced (again not a problem to those who never have had to lead anything) and doesn't mesh with all my beliefs. So smile and cheer up. Lack of hosannas doesn't necessarily mean hostility. -
