If Obama wants to immediately gain popluarity, from both the right and left, he should ban Quadafi from coming here next month. He should get in front of the american people, express outrage over the actions of Scotland in releasing this terrorist and the celebration this guy got when landing in Lybia.
He could do something like Rudy did to Arafat when Rudy threw Arafat out of the opera.
If Obama did that, I would applaud him for it and he would immediatelty gain respect, popularity, and show he hasd a set of balls.
Thoughts?

I think it would give him a boost. Might be short-lived, but would still help.
That said, I think he's more likely to kiss Kadafi’s rear end than ban him from coming here.

Not bad....I have another...quit!!!

Today was a slow day and Im waiting for a few faxes to hit. But what about my idea?
Serious, if Obama did that, I would gain a ton of respect for him, even after the nonsense he has already done.

That would be like rosie o'donnell turning down a free day at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
It wont happen

I think it's a great idea but Obama's just too much the politician.

I think you're more clueless than I thought. Say he did that, the right wouldn't reward him jack shit for it and you'd probably have guys like Rush and Hannity and Coultergeist spinning it into something. It would go something like this: Obama has threatened the headway made by the Bush administration with kadafi in the war on terror. The FBI already publically denounced the decision to release the terrorist. bla bla bla.... The left would see it as another broken promise in how he would approach enemies and getting him to act like Rudy in these matters would be pissing on the cake. Anyway, doubtfull much credit would be given from the right.

this is the single only thing that could statisfy the bulk of the right.

I don't know what you people are complaining about he is still doing better than Bush

Absolutely not Hugo. Just some sanity and common sense.

Too bad he isn't Palin or you might have a chance of that happening.

boom!

He's doing a better job of running up the deficit than Bush, thats true.
Bush and Obama both expanded federal government powers and spending. I am a fan of neither.

but are you a sports fan?
-
Yes, most sports anyway, why is that?
You mean the crusade against AAS has quieted some? Not sure if thats more Obama's doing, public backlash, or that the country has 10 major issues all at the same time. Biden was insane about AAS. Obama does seem like he puts things in perspective, as far as that issue being minor compared to so many other things. For that, I guess I applaud him.
-
If he really wants to be popular he should go watch some of his campaign speeches and then start doing the stuff we put him in office to do
-
Would Biden be any better as pres?

QFT!!

[shudder]
-
No, Biden should not be president.
Obama is very presidential, thats not the issue. unfortunately, instead of uniting the country, he has further divided us on pushing the progressive left agenda and having no regard for our tax dollars or reigning government spending.
-
Obama is Presidential...i must have missed that when he was apologizing for all our "mistakes abroad. This assbag is a disgrace.
-
You certainly must have missed where little Shrub was the one making the mistakes he had to apologize for.

you have got to be kidding me ::) won't happen, they'll find some way to attack him and you know it. Sure maybe you won't but what's that matter? All you need is the angry rightwing talking heads to tell their mobs what it "really" means....

N.J. leaders: Gadhafi should be 'barred' from state
NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) — Gov. Jon Corzine and New Jersey federal legislators joined an angry chorus of opposition Wednesday to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's expected stay in the state, where 38 victims of the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, lived before their deaths in 1988.
Corzine and Democrats U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and U.S. Rep. John Adler protested anticipated plans by Gadhafi to stay in the northern New Jersey community of Englewood when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly next month. Menendez said he should be "barred" from New Jersey.
The Libyan government is renovating a sprawling estate in the upscale community, and Gadhafi's expected to pitch a ceremonial Bedouin-style tent on the grounds, after a request to erect it in Manhattan's Central Park was rejected, according to elected officials. Fifty-nine of the Pan Am victims were New York state residents.
Opposition to the ruler of the oil-rich North African nation has surged since he welcomed Abdel Baset al-Megrahi home last week. Al-Megrahi is the only man convicted in the bombing, which is widely thought to be the work of Libyan intelligence. In all, 259 people aboard the plane and 11 on the ground were killed.
"I want him barred from New Jersey," Adler said Wednesday at a gathering at the Victims of Terrorism Memorial in the southern New Jersey community of Pennsauken. "Let him land at the U.N. by helicopter, do his business and get out of the country."
Adler plans to introduce a resolution condemning Al-Megrahi's release at the U.S. House of Representatives on Sept. 8.
"Gadhafi is not welcome in New Jersey," Corzine said. "I am angry, like every other New Jerseyan and every other American, about the release of Abdel Beset al-Megrahi."
Gadhafi's expected U.N. appearance — his first U.S. visit — is the culmination of a years-long effort to rehabilitate his image and thaw relations between the West and Libya. He has ruled Libya the past 40 years, and was a steadfast critic of the United States early in his regime.
In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Gadhafi renounced terrorism, dismantled Libya's secret nuclear program, accepted his government's responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the victims' families.
But he and his son drew criticism for what some have described as a hero's welcome for al-Megrahi, who was released from a life sentence by Scotland on Aug. 20 and returned to Libya on compassionate grounds because he is dying of cancer.
Critics view that welcome as a step backward. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown broke his silence on Al-Megrahi on Wednesday, saying he was repulsed by the welcome Libya gave the convicted killer.
Under its host nation agreement with the United Nations, the U.S. is obligated to allow foreign leaders, other officials and diplomats into the country to visit or work at the U.N. with limited exceptions. But the provisions allow U.S. authorities to restrict their movement to a 25-mile radius around U.N. headquarters. Englewood is about 12 miles north of Manhattan, apparently placing it within the 25-mile radius.
Menendez urged the State Department to limit Gadhafi's stay to the immediate area around the U.N., echoing a previous request from Democratic U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey.
The Englewood estate is one of several possible sites being considered for Gadhafi and his entourage, according to the U.S. State Department and the Libyan Embassy in Washington, D.C. The Obama administration has said it will keep in mind the "raw sensitivities" of the families of Lockerbie bombing victims as it tries to find a place for him.
