Pardon My Politics

Five former secretaries of state met in Athens, Ga. recently to formulate bipartisan foreign policy suggestions for the next president. All five former secretaries (Powell, Kissinger, Albright, Baker and Christopher) agreed on two important recommendations: The U.S. should open a dialogue with Iran, and the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay should be closed. The first recommendation is a no-brainer, but it will have to wait for a new president because the only kind of diplomacy the Bush Administration understands is gunboat diplomacy. The second recommendation (closing the prison camp at Gitmo), should begin immediately. Guantanamo prison, and what has transpired there during George Bush’s war of terror, is an embarrassment to America.

Revelations regarding Barack Obama's spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, have been splashed across media outlets far and wide. After Wright called our country "the U.S. KKK of A." and said that blacks should sing "God Damn America" instead of "God Bless America," an entirely new barometer is being used to gauge the Democratic front-runner.
