Zbigniew Brzezinski. The former national security adviser announced on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt" that he is supporting the junior senator from Illinois for president. .... "recognizes that the challenge is a new face, a new sense of direction, a new definition of America's role in the world," said Brzezinski, who keeps an office at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Obama is clearly more effective and has the upper hand. He has a sense of what is historically relevant and what is needed from the United States in relationship to the world."
...He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats...
As it turns out Fox News and the Obama campaign are bound by blood.
David Rhodes, Fox News' vice president of news, is the older brother of Ben Rhodes, one of the speech-writers responsible for Obama's orotund oratory.

Perhaps it is because they are all corrupt
The apparent contradiction between Sen Obama's political calculation to join the Wal-Mart-bashing lobby, and his wife's profitable role with a company that makes money from Wal-Mart, is being closely scrutinised by "opposition" research teams.....
Sen Obama's campaign team and Mrs Obama's spokesman did not respond to requests by The Sunday Telegraph for comment. But the senator previously told Crain's Chicago Business magazine that, while his views on corporate reform and social justice remained the same regardless of what happens at Treehouse, "Michelle and I have to live in the world and pay taxes and pay for our kids and save for retirement".
Mrs Obama, 43, was re-elected to the board last month for a further three years, a period that would overlap with her husband's time in the White House if he becomes America's first black president.
Mrs Obama is Treehouse's senior non-executive director and sits on the company's audit and nominating and corporate governance committees. Her Treehouse connection is not the only awkward ethical question that has confronted Sen Obama as his past is dug over.

I have to assume the people here who bash Obama are preferring another candidate. It amazes me how people can be so outspoken about why we shouldn't vote for Obama, yet never reveal who they think we should vote for. Perhaps it is because they are all corrupt and they know that their chosen candidate is no saviour either?
(Excerpted from article)
National media outlets were abuzz the morning of June 5 with news that Sens. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) had a secret rendezvous the night before, purportedly at the house of Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.). What they failed to mention was that only a few miles away, the most famous clandestine group in the world—the Bilderbergs—were also meeting in Chantilly, Virginia...
...For starters, the Beltway mansion where he supposedly hunkered down with Mrs. Clinton is owned by Mrs. Feinstein—a member of the Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and frequent Bilderberg attendee in the past...
...Suspicions that he was being groomed for a run at the White House became apparent in August 2007—before most Americans even knew who Obama was—when Zbigniew Brzezinski endorsed Obama for president...
...Brzezinski, of course, is a longtime globalist luminary whose mentor is none other than David Rockefeller...
...Considering his monstrous motives and globalist philosophy, Obama still selected Brzezinski to be his foreign policy “advisor” during his campaign. While giving a policy speech on the Iraq War in September 2007, Obama said that Brzezinski was “one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers,” and that he was “someone I have learned an immense amount from.”
...Another clue that Obama has accepted the tenets of a one-world government is his sponsorship of the “Global Poverty Act” where the United Nations would directly tax American citizens. He has also selected Susan Rice—a member of the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Brookings Institute—to be another foreign policy adviser; while Anthony Lake is also a member of his inner circle. Lake is a notable Henry Kissinger protégé and was Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser. He was also the man who was instrumental in making policy decisions leading up to the atrocious murder of over 800,000 Rwandans—another inexcusable genocide.
Last but not least, we should all hearken back to the seminal event that placed Obama on the national stage. It occurred in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention where Obama—a recently elected unknown freshman Senator from Illinois—delivered a charismatic keynote speech which electrified the audience. Who was the man responsible for handpicking Obama; the man who literally “made” him, so to speak? It was none other than Yale Skull & Bonesman John Kerry, who ran against fellow Skull & Bonesman George W. Bush in 2004.
