Or it may be the result of growing up with Hawaii's Pacific Rim influence. But Obama's management style resembles the classic Japanese model. And, at least historically, these haven't just been behaviors. They're living embodiments of a spiritual perception which says that all humanity -- all existence -- is interconnected and equal.

It was unclear exactly how or when protesters would need to register with the local government." 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 16:53:34 -0400 2008 Video Clip - Bush at fundraiser 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 16:51:12 -0400 2008 FTP: "An ABC-TV outlet in Houston, and now the Houston Chronicle, have posted a video taken at a political fundraiser for Pete Olson, featuring George W. Bush last week -- capturing some embarrassing/revealing moments after, he noted, he had asked cameras to be turned off. 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 16:37:45 -0400 2008 FTP: "The Awakening began in Anbar Province more than a year before the surge and took off in the summer and fall of 2006 in Ramadi and elsewhere, long before extra U.S. forces started flowing into Iraq in February and March of 2007. ....This is not controversial history. It is history that anyone trying out for Commander in Chief must understand when there are 150,000 American troops stationed in Iraq. It is an absolutely essential element to the story of the past two years. YOU CANNOT GET THIS WRONG. Moreover, what is most disturbing is that according to McCain's inaccurate version of history, military force came first and solved all of our problems. If that is the lesson he takes from the Anbar Awakening, I am afraid it is the lesson he will apply to every other crisis he faces including, for example, Iran." 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 16:12:28 -0400 2008 FTP: "There's no magic threshold but with high share levels, you get to be concerned," he continued. "On the other hand, monopolists are allowed to compete. The question is whether the arrangement would stifle competition." 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 15:54:36 -0400 2008 FTP: "That growth has come at a price for customers, public interest groups say. As the company races to add subscribers, many of whom pay more than $100 a month to use phone, Internet, wireless and video services, Comcast has not focused on funding and fixing problems with its customer service, the critics say. "They bit off more than they could chew, and the victims of their overweening ambition is us," said Bob Garfield, a radio host and creator of Web site ComcastMustDie.com, one of several sites created in recent years as an outlet for customer complaints of all kinds."~~~~~ Um, one of those customers is me. 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 11:57:01 -0400 2008 And some people will be stupid enough actually vote for this guy! 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 11:26:10 -0400 2008 Hot off the Press: "During a CBS interview on Tuesday, John McCain made a stone cold error on a subject about which he claims expert knowledge: the "surge" strategy in Iraq. In an interview with anchor Katie Couric, the Arizona Republican said, inaccurately, that the surge strategy was responsible for the much-touted "Anbar Awakening," in which Sunni sheiks turned against Al Qaeda, helping in turn to reduce violence in the country." 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 02:44:16 -0400 2008 FTP: Any change in the legal definition of human trafficking attacks the fundamental integrity of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and will severely undermine our government's ability to battle what is now an international trade in children and women. Senators Biden and Brownback have taken a courageous stance to protect women from modern-day slavery. Their bill expands our country's commitment to protect vulnerable women and girls beyond the historic efforts to which our government dedicated itself with adoption of TVPA eight years ago.

It demonstrates his chilling commitment to fighting this war no matter what the people of America -- or Iraq -- want. 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 22:40:11 -0400 2008 FTP: "McCain said "Czechoslovakia" instead of the "Czech Republic" at another town hall today. But this time, he caught himself and offered a bit of self-mocking explanation. That makes it the third time in the past three weeks. " 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 22:31:03 -0400 2008 FTP: "Of course, at no point does the McCain campaign or anyone in the media point out what, exactly, is the danger to America if our closest allies actually, you know, don't hate us. They also fail to mention that along with being our allies, the European countries Obama is visiting are also democracies -- so it's a lot easier for their leaders to make nice with us if their constituents don't view our president as an object of disdain and ridicule." 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 22:08:58 -0400 2008 Very Short!! 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 21:54:38 -0400 2008 FTP:Rendell said that Obama needs a running mate "with more foreign policy credentials" and does not see any electoral advantage to Obama picking him as his running mate. "I don't think he needs me to carry Pennsylvania," Rendell said. "I think that I can do the things that are necessary here in Pennsylvania just by being governor and working for the Obama ticket like I did for Senator Clinton." 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 21:45:13 -0400 2008 As much as I dislike "Big Media," this was funny. - Thrill up my let LOL!
