Change? Obama Inner Circle Filled With Bilderbergers

Source: AmericanFreePress.net

For two long years, Americans have heard an unrelenting mantra of change emanating from the campaign trail. But now that President-elect Barack Obama has begun forming his cabinet, we’re seeing a cadre of more deeply entrenched insiders than any administration that has preceded it.In regard to key foreign policy advisors, all three of Obama’s selections either initially supported the Iraq war, or still do.

On the economic front, each appointee maintains a close relationship with the Jewish triad of Ben Bernanke, Robert Rubin and Alan Greenspan—as well as bailout engineer Henry Paulson. Barack Obama himself is a Council on Foreign Relations member, has strong ties to Zbigniew Brzezinski, and participated in a clandestine meeting with Hillary Clinton at Bilderberg member Diane Feinstein’s house at the time when 2008 Bilderberg members were congregating only a few miles away.

Click here for an overview of Obama’s top 14 selections to date. When considering their collective histories, a trend becomes clear, proving that the more things change under Obama, the more they stay the same

Obama - Who Sent You?

Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no records -- no paper trail -- none -- this is no accident. It is being done on purpose with Media help - but to serve whom & why??

Love him or hate him, we all remember how the press went to great lengths to find out every move that President Bush made … finally unable to come up with anything factual, so they created it! When their accusations were proven empty, they refused to retract one word of the fraud they perpetrated on the American people.Dan Rather lost his job over fraudulent documents, because common people like you & me reached out and ripped CBS to pieces. They couldn't stand the loss of sponsors OR viewers!The same Media went to great lengths to scandalize & destroy Sarah Palin. She maintains a 91% approval rating among voters from all parties, thanks to the Internet and investigative journalists who don't work for the mainstream media. (Read More ... )

O Baaa Ma!


Bill Clinton could pose Cabinet problem

Former President Bill Clinton's international business dealings, global foundation and penchant for going off script could present a significant obstacle to Hillary Clinton becoming secretary of state, observers say.

On the one hand, his established relationships with world leaders could instantly make the New York senator a welcome face in embassies around the world. On the other, his complicated global business interests could present future conflicts of interest that result in unneeded headaches for the incoming commander-in-chief.

"These are issues that I'm sure are being discussed, and they will have to be worked out, and it's legitimate to ask these questions," said James Carville, a former aide to the Clintons and CNN contributor.

Two officials with President-elect Barack Obama's transition team confirm to CNN that it is investigating Bill Clinton's finances and post-presidential dealings. As part of the early vetting process, the team is looking for any negative information that could throw the prospect of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state into jeopardy. A particular issue could be the donor list of Bill Clinton's global foundation, which might show connections to international figures who push policies that might conflict with those of the new Obama administration.

Obama wants to be a Renegade

President-elect Barack Obama has been given his secret service code name – Renegade. Obama had a say in choosing the rebellious name used by his elite protection team.

He was given the choice of several names starting with the letter R.

And in keeping with the tradition of having all family members’ code names start with the same letter, future first lady Michelle Obama is Renaissance, and daughters Sasha and Malia are known as Rosebud and Radiance, respectively. (Source: The Sun)

From the school run to the Oval Office ...

Source: Daily Mail

In the morning the school run - in the afternoon the Oval Office. Just another extraordinary day in the life of Barack Obama.

First he tenderly kissed his two daughters, Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7, as he helped them out of an armour-plated, bullet-proof car, weighed down by their school backpacks.
Then he flew to Washington with his wife Michelle to get his first real taste of life as 44th President of the United States.

At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it was a rite of passage that has been played out between incoming and outgoing presidents for decades. But never has the White House hosted such a historic transition from the old to the new.

For nearly 22 months on the campaign trail, Barack Obama could only dream about walking into the Oval Office as America’s first black president.

Yesterday, his improbable dream was written into the history books as he got a two-hour look at his new home for the next four years. He will not officially get the keys to the White House until his inauguration on January 20.

Change has come, and now the serious work begins as Obama vows to deliver

With three small words, he captured the hopes of not just America, but of the world.

'Change has come,' said Barack Obama, the son of a Kenyan goatherd and a white woman from Kansas, as he became the most powerful man on the planet. And, of course, the first black man to be elected U.S. President.

His historic victory was widely welcomed as a promise of a better future. It bridged the chasm of racism that has

A record turnout, nearly 140million people, had swamped the polls. Blacks and young people gave Obama massive backing, but white voters also rallied behind the 47-year-old senator, with an unexpectedly high 43 per cent supporting him.

In a powerful victory speech, which drew comparisons with Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' address 45 years ago, he declared: 'If there is still anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.'

Obama promises new dawn for America and the world after he is voted first black U.S. president in landslide victory

Barack Obama made history early today by becoming America’s first black president.

'It's been a long time coming, but tonight... change has come to America,' the president-elect told jubilant supporters in Chicago. The triumphant 47-year-old son of a black Kenyan father and a white mother from Kansas spoke after romping to a landslide victory over crushed Republican candidate John McCain. It was the crowning moment of a staggering rise from being a virtually unknown first-time US senator two years ago to become the most powerful man in the world.

By 4.30am, Obama had collected 333 electoral votes to Mr McCain's 155.

The result comes as a historic landmark in America’s struggle from the shackles of slavery to the segregation of the Deep South in the 1960s to finally achieving civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘dream’ with Americans of all colours and creeds voting a black man into the White House.

McCain tries to turn must-win states; Obama stays on offense

As they enter their final day of campaigning before Election Day, Sen. John McCain is trying to swing undecided voters in key battleground states, while Sen. Barack Obama is staying on the offensive by campaigning in territory that is usually safely Republican. In addition, both campaigns are ratcheting up their get-out-the-vote efforts, as election officials predict record turnouts -- and long lines -- on Tuesday.McCain on Monday hopes he can shift enough voters in a handful of critical states to give him enough votes to pull a come-from-behind victory. He has an uphill climb. There are few undecided voters left, and McCain will have to sway most of them for him to overcome Obama's lead. The latest national CNN poll of polls has Obama ahead of McCain 51 percent to 44 percent, with 5 percent undecided .... (CNN)

Defiant Obama shrugs off neo-Nazi plot to 'assassinate him and slaughter dozens of black school pupils'

Barack Obama is refusing to alter his schedule of high-profile appearances despite increasing fears about his safety.

Security has been stepped up around the Democratic presidential candidate after federal agents foiled a plot by two racists to kill him. Tomorrow he will appear alongside Bill Clinton in Florida where a crowd of more than 100,000 is expected.

Florida is known to be home to a large number of white supremacists with the group Stormfront based in the Palm Beach area. Extra police are likely to be drafted in for the rally with access to Mr Obama restricted to those who have been vetted by his campaign team and undergone stringent security checks.

As the US election enters its final week, and the Democratic presidential candidate remains ahead in almost every poll, concerns remain high among some party members that an attempt on his life could be made.

Mr Obama's bid to become the first black president of America has stirred up hatred among white supremacists. As details of the latest plot emerged it was revealed that secret service agents guarding the senator were unaware of it. According to CBS TV, the Obama campaign only found out about it when his plane landed in Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon.

Daniel Cowart, 20, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, appeared in court on Friday flanked by agents from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives Agency.

The agency is supposed to share information with the secret service - but the 12 agents assigned to Mr Obama had not been told about the threat. The two skinheads were arrested on Wednesday after shooting at a church in Brownsville, Tennessee.They planned to rob a gun store and go on a murderous rampage, with the black Democrat candidate their final target, court records revealed last night.

United States presidential election, 2008

Source: Wikipedia

The United States presidential election of 2008, scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2008, will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election and will select the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States.

The Republican Party has not officially chosen its nominee, but its presumptive nominee is John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona; Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, has been chosen as the nominee for the Democratic Party.

The 2008 election is particularly notable because it is the first time in U.S. history that two sitting senators will run against each other for president and because it will be the first time an African American will be a presidential nominee for a major party, as well as the first time both major candidates were born outside the continential United States (Hawaii for Obama and the Canal Zone in Panama for McCain).

The election will coincide with the 2008 Senate elections in thirty-three states, House of Representatives elections in all states, and gubernatorial elections in eleven states, as well as various state referendums and local elections.
