Sallies, I think the media either doesn't care what Barack's policies are, because they know his supporter are charmed by his smile, or they missed what he said, about the current Georgia and Russian conflict; it was cogent.  Barack said something like this, "Now is not the time for words - Now is the time for action:" and if now is not the time for diplomacy, does this mean, he thinks, it is the time for war?

    Arvin it is as if Barack's policy are going to be the opposite of what ever President Bush says: if Mr. Bush says white, Mr. Obama says black; if George says up, Barack says down, and so his rhetoric does not consist of reasoning or intelligence....  The thing is if he says we need to support Georgia, because it is a fledgling democracy that will contradict what he defies about Iraq.  ...What a quagmire.
