POPSIndonesian president eager to work with Obama Indonesians feel a connection with Obama, who "experienced the inner soul of Indonesia" during the four years he spent there as a child, Yudhoyono said. Yudhoyono also praised George W. Bush as "one of the most pro-Indonesia American presidents in the history of our bilateral relations."

POPSEmployee Free Choice Act We The People, may finally have a voice now that Barack Obama is our President. Hope is overflowing for the downtrodden American worker who saw labor hour increases while compensation decreased due to the many monitory escalations of Energy, Food, Shelter, Healthcare and Clothing. Disparity was the rule. This Employee Free Choice Act must be passed so that the American worker can start climbing out of the quagmire, too many years of Corporate rule put us in.

POPSThe Perils of Cheap Oil CONT'D: "When economic growth resumes across the globe, demand for oil will surge once again. Only this time around, given the constraints presented by declining oil fields and the current apparent freeze in investment in new oil production capacity, the supply-demand equation will likely send oil prices shooting back up, perhaps even further than before. "Which is why now is the time, more than ever, for government leadership that promotes conservation, energy efficiency, fuel economy, and increased production of renewable energy. Waiting until the economy recovers before tackling energy would be a huge, huge mistake."

POPSA Giddy Sense of Boosterism Wake up airheads. Obama is a mongrel, leftist, Marxist, Islamist enemy of what was once the late great U.S. of A. He will be the ruination of everything this country has ever stood for. Behold.The trojan horse you fools have wheeled inside the citidel.

POPSIt Had To Be Obama, Because We've Had Enough! Yes, It had to be President Barack Obama, because we really have, had ENOUGH! --- We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. by: Barack Obama ~~~~~ Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. by: Arundhati Roy:

POPSChanging Back Obama wants to "restore funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program." He will spend $200 million a year on state and local matching grants. He will also "launch a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank that will invest $60 billion over 10 years" plus "stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq and start investing that money in Phoenix, Nashville, Seattle" and "re-commit federal dollars to strengthen mass transit . . . ports, roads, and high-speed rails." CDBG actually gave "aid" to millionaire enclaves such as Greenwich, Conn. And as urban policy scholar Kimberly Hendrickson pointed out in an American Enterprise Institute study: "Mainstream urban scholars and practitioners — on both the left and right — have become dismissive of, and even hostile towards, programs once heralded as bold and visionary . . . now widely seen as harmful to cities and their residents."

POPSMedvedev: Ready To Respond If U.S. Ends Missile Plan "We hope to create frank and honest relations with the new administration and resolve problems that we were not able to resolve with the current administration," he said. Iran, Iraq, Russia, all have extended a hand of peace towards America. Obama had better not screw up this opportunity to make right some of all Bush's wrongs. As Bush once said: "Either you are with us, or you are against us." If America continues to choose to threaten the security of Europe with their paranoid evil plans, I will know for sure that America is the true enemy of the whole world. Russia are closer neighbours to us, than the US and I for one, (among many others here in Dk), trust them a hell of a lot more, than we'll ever trust America. Get Obama to stop the plans for the stupid paranoid damned missile shield. The ball is in America's court. I hope they play it wisely.

POPSBush cheers “free enterprise” as US capitalism goes bust "Bush's message to those assembling in Washington was clear: Nothing will be accepted that interferes with the unfettered accumulation of wealth by America's financial elite and the defense of their interests, regardless the cost to the world's population."

POPSFrance Backs Russia's Demand to Stop USA Missile Base in Poland
Also talk of a pan-European security pact. I'm stunned and impressed. I urge all Europe, all Europeans to support the French President. This was a for real nuclear showdown, like the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. I really thought a city in Poland, or others in Europe were going to get nuked. NOTHING IS RESOLVED YET. The USA plans to put nukes on the Russian border are still in place. There is no way - because of American ideology about Russia - that Obama can stick his neck out and stop these missile base plans. But now BOTH France and Russia oppose them. If other EU countries join them -- if there is massive street protest (like some are doing in Poland and Czech Republic) this could give Obama an "excuse," -- to go along with the will of Europe; then he'd be going along with the will of Europe instead of backing down from the Russians. Plus - pan-European security pact? Gads! NATO out the window. NATO expansion out the windown. Boy, Bush really @#Red up. He IS

POPSObama to YouTube Weekly Addresses Think about it; when was the last time you heard the President's Weekly Radio Address on the radio? He does it every week, but almost no one carries it anymore. WhiteHouse.gov v2.0 wants to make sure it gets out there and, since YouTube videos can be embedded in any blog or news site, it will. Look for the GOP, with their own version of tech savvy, to make the Republican response available by telegraph.

POPS Al Gore For What? President-elect Barack Obama's transition team is flirting with creating a White House "Climate Czar," but climate change crusader Al Gore says he doesn't want the job. Obama transition chief John Podesta promoted a similar idea earlier in his role as president of the Center for American Progress, a liberal Washington think tank. Mr. Podesta authored a white paper calling for an Energy Security Council within the White House to oversee climate change and clean energy initiatives. The czar and the council would coordinate agencies, including the Energy and Interior departments and the Environmental Protection Agency.

POPSThis Thanksgiving thank Sarah Hale To Sarah Hale Thanksgiving would be a therapeutic holiday. "There is a deep moral influence in these periodical seasons of rejoicing, in which whole communities participate. They bring out . . . the best sympathies in our natures." Hale saw this spiritual dimension of Thanksgiving as a means for preventing the insanity of civil war in America.
