Obama and the economic crisis (Don't bother me)

Obama stays away from talks with G20 Obama stays away from talks with G20

Obama & Guantanamo

Obama planning US trials for Guantanamo detainees

Will Obama just send out invitations for the next terrorist attack or will he let it be a surprise?

Obama and Hamas

Hamas says met Obama advisors in Gaza

Not really shocking but further proof of the Jimmy Carter like change we're going to get.

Obama calls for less terrorism, but not none

On Friday, Obama offered a public reaction to the letter in his first post-election news conference, saying that he would review it and respond appropriately. But he also said that Iranian "support for terrorist organizations has to ease" and that its suspected development of nuclear weapons was not acceptable. Taken from iht.com

It's good that Obama wants Iran to ease it's terrorist support down to a reasonable level. Maybe just a couple of terrorists attacks on the weekends and on other times. Maybe if Obama keeps this up we can have peace in our time with Iran.
