As business as usual, choosing the chief of staff, american and israeli politician for the most important position.
wiki says:
On November 6, 2008, Emanuel accepted the position of White House Chief of Staff for Barack Obama.[5][27] He would become the third Jewish Chief of Staff, after Kenneth Duberstein, Chief of Staff to Ronald Reagan, and Joshua Bolten, Chief of Staff to George W. Bush.[28] |

Candidates for Defense and Foreign Affairs:
Robert Gates: It is against the 'change' ideal, it may be good for defense post to be bipartizan as Gates was the current republican defense man.
Chuck Hagel: It is about 'change' as this republican was actually against Dubya's iraqi war. I liked him for standing up against iraqi war, and his own party for his beliefs. If not for defense, he may be on the way to Secretary of state.
Foreign Post
Bill Richardson: I like him. He got the experience with less hawkish attitude.
John Kerry: He is a big name as former prez candidate, but I am not sure if he has international experience.
My wish list is Hagel and Richardson.

I dont think Powell will be a good foreign secratary or a defence secretary. His reputaion especiall after the UN speech is very muddy. Well, it may be good to call him back to clean up what he had spilled.
I think he might be better at education to bring some military like discipline in education in schools. This campaign was won on the Iraqi war which unfortunatel Colin defended before the whole world. |

Powell. He said there is wmd in iraq. He demonstrated that in UN security council. He was wrong. He is responsible for iraqi mess. I think he should be judged together with Dubya. Or he can be comedian.
No thanks. We don't want another presentation by him saying Tahiti has a link to terrorism.

Oh.....get your point
Powell....The Powell Doctrine;
one of the brains behind "deseart storm, which is very different from "Iraque Freedom.
There is a reason why the director of C.I.A, Tenent was always in camera when Powell was presenting the case of the WMDs. There is a reason why he left the team in Bush´s second term, why he endosed Obama and let me remind you; there is no fire without smoke.

well, if powell had some integrity, when he had disagreement, he would resign. That would make him great. He did not do it. Perhaps two reasons he endorsed obama, one, race, second taking revenge on repelicans which abondoned him.

I did not know you know him that well, there has to be reason to be reasonable.......knowledge is a good weapon though...

Turk, turk, are you implying that General Powell endorsed President Obama to settle a vendetta, or he scummed to some racist tendency within him? |

I have no idea where you got the idea that I am implying him having racist tendency!
powell was demoted from secretary of defense to nothing. Bush/Dick did not like him, especially Dick. Powell had high expectations, even presidential candidate from republicans but it did not fly with republicans, so he had good chance to take revenge on republican party, perhaps he did by endorsing him over mccain.
And, of course, obama being black would be another reason for him to endorse Obama. Let us how Powell relate the race issue to the election of obama with his own words. Quote: ... the fact that he is also black just has turned America on, it's very emotional," Powell said of Obama....In 50 years I have seen my country move so dramatically toward a dream that our founding fathers had... |

No Muslim will endorse peace with Israel if Haram-al-Sharif is transferred to israel. Yet, Obama was more supportive than Bush as he speaks to israeli audience. After the speech, his new chief of staff, Emanuel, endorsed him. On his speech
http://www.observer.com/2008/emanuel-endorses-obama-after-aipac-speech
Obama states that: .....but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. |
