Apparently not.

Olmert's out soon, but I fear the right-wing Netanyahu is back on the scene. And to me, Obama is just another president. If he tries to change too much, he'll be out on his backside - or worse.

He's a centrist, Perhaps centrist by name, but I think you'll find he's a bit further to the right than that, brother. and many of a President's policy initiatives need the approval of Congress; And many of them don't, as per Mr Bush's almost dictatorial behaviour over the last eight years. From wh...

Sold or taken?

Google - just like everywhere else in the world.

Unluckily, though, that one little group's fever-dream came to fruition ...

Some historians say he certainly won't be the first president with Black ancestors - just the first to acknowledge his Blackness. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge all had Black ancestors they kept in their genealogical closets. Harding ...

This thread is obviously a bit too heavy for most on here...

No, it just isn't that interesting to talk about. Obama is visibly dark, he doesn't just have one Black ancestor in the background. What people see is what makes the impressions and what can cause the prejudice. If I had one ancestor who is Aboriginal and I became Prime Minister of Canada, should t...

If I were Ruler of Dubai I'd know there is no point in having a game plan because, due to my foul-ups, Abu Dhabi is now running the show.

The signposts say 100. I try to stick to 109, but taxis cruise past at 120+. Surely taxi drivers know the limit and don't really want speeding fines, so what is it?

It wasn't to talk about his race, it was to question whether or not he's the first black president.

I jokingly mentioned this to two African security guards. They were dead serious and replied, 'It's true! Of course it's true! These Nigerians are very powerful - and they can do even more than that!' 'One Nigerian lady I know, a British guy gave her $2,500 for fun! She showed me the money!' http://...
