He may capitulate to a certain degree. I mean these are his advisors. I'm just stating my opinion. There is no need for evidence. You can take it or leave it at your own whim. In my opinion Obama could have stood stronger against certain interests. Such as the Military Industrial Complex. He didn't.

'Didn't'? He's been President Elect for a week, tomorrow. When 'didn't' he, what??

'Hasn't' I could take, but 'didn't' hardly yet applies.

He has been in politics before he ran for president. Look back at his voting record, when he wasn't no-voting, which he did often. He has said he wants to increase military spending.

“Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities.

“And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

be carefull what you ask for obama.

peru wants to give the next us president the gift of their national dog, appropriately called the "peruvian hairless dog." supposedly the dog of inca kings, they claim it is hypoallergenic and "perfect for kids who are sensitive to dogs."

"They do not cause any type of allergy and are very friendly and sweet," said Claudia Galvez, 38, director of the Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association.

A video of a 2006 interview with now-Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for president-elect Barack Obama reveals plans for mandatory induction for all young adults into a civilian "force."

"If you're worried about, are you going to have to do 50 jumping jacks, the answer is yes,"

"Somewhere between the age of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training. You can do it at some point in your college time," he said. "There can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint, similar experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service."
