Obama, Russia's Medvedev Chat

CHICAGO (AP}has reported that President elect Obama had a phone conversation with the Russian president,it was immediately after the election that the Russian President announced that,or rather he threatened,to move missiles to their borders,not offering any congratulations to Obama,it shows how the relationship between the two nations ,that is Russia and America is not of good terms.

A Kremlin statement said Obama and Medvedev "expressed the determination to create constructive and positive interaction for the good of global stability and development" and agreed that their countries had a common responsibility to address "serious problems of a global nature."
On Wednesday, the day after Obama's election, Medvedev threatened to move short-range missiles to Russia's borders with NATO allies even as the U.S. offered new proposals on nuclear arms reductions as well as missile defense. Allowing Russian observers at planned missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were among them, U.S. officials said. The foreign policy adviser for Obama,Denis McDonough said on Saturday that Obama had "a good conversation" with Polish President Lech Kaczynski about a healthy polish-American relationship.
Obama seem to have alot of issues for him at the same time especially with economic crisis that we are facing,
Do you think President Bush administration could have done something about denouncing Hamas ?and was it the right approach or decision,since Israel have good relationship with America

OBAMA-Hamas leader ready to talk.

Its hardly been a week since President elect Barrack Obama won the presidential race.it seems that everyday there is something new,but a strong willed Obama does not show any fear or tensions,he is composed and calm.
Khaled Mashaal the Palestinian militant group is saying that he wants to have a dialogue with president elect Obama.Hamas has controlled the Gaza Strip forcefully ,power since June 2007 from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
they are demanding respect of their thoughts and rights,President Bush hardly agreed with them since they don't want peace and always resort to violence and have refused to accept Israel as a country in general.
Hamas has been a disappointment because they want to be recognized and yet they seem not to agree on conditions that are set.they believe in their own right and opinions

Paloma made landfall near Santa Cruz del Sur as an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm, but quickly weakened into a still-ferocious Category 3 with winds of 115 mph (185 kph) and torrential rains.A 1932 hurricane storm that killed about 3,000 people in Santa Cruz
In Grand Cayman island, power was knocked off,downing trees, and there were flooding in other low areas and roofs were missing. People living there were not harmed,though some of their properties were not in good shape. And other areas businesses opened.

A CHILD THOUGHTS

today i thought of so many ways of how to make money,on my spare time,my kids ask me look for a job where you can be a boss yourself,i leave them wondering if i went to college,yep,alot of hard work.and so i ask them what they want to do?they all have different things they wanna do ,they have like 3 careers each,my my!and then i remembered one time a kid was asked what he wants to do when he grows up,
the kid said I DONT WANT TO GROW UP!!

its hard being a grown up,but you encourage your kids that its not all that bad,a step at a time.when kids aspire to do something that you think will benefit thier future,they only need encouragement,
they always believe what the grown ups say,so dont make so many false promises as they will hold on to it.

Politicking-AMERICA

Today i watched CNN and am amazed to what this election
has come to,the world out there is trying to undress America
in the worst possible ways.America is viewed as a country that
has to bring people together,a country thats supposed to shine on
humanitarian issues and as a binding factor,to people torn by
war etc.
its unfoutunate to see how the politician are carrying themselves,
i was suprised when this old lady stood up in McCain campaign so as
to quench her curiosity trying to find out if tObama is a muslim.
since when did they judge someone by a false name,but not his loyalty
to serve this Great nation.

all people should be equall ,and America should be a mirror to all,
what a blunder vwhen people run thier mouths infront of the media,
and who baptized Sen.Obama hussein?
what if Obama was really named hussein and is an American citizen,
would he really have he gone this far?so what about the muslim American citizens feel?

Pastors are also contributing,i cant wait or the D-Day

i am so disheartened,but well this is RAW POLITICKCS and its Ticking
