Barack Obama lines up a cabinet of stars as John McCain struggles on
The Democrat may recruit some big names, including Republicans, to see America through the crisis
Sarah Baxter in Roanoke, Virginia
With the economy on the brink of recession and the country in the midst of two foreign wars, Barack Obama is considering appointing a cabinet of stars to steer America through potentially its worst crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s if he wins the presidency on November 4.
Obama has a well-regarded, close-knit team of domestic and foreign policy advisers who would follow him into the White House and key administration posts. But he is also being urged to make some high-profile appointments who would command the confidence of the country at such a troubled time.
“It’s important to send a signal,” an Obama adviser said. “With a comparatively new person in office and the awful mess we’re in, these appointments are going to resonate around the world.” Obama, 47, has been warning his supporters that the election is not over yet. “Don’t underestimate our ability to screw it up,” he said last week. But should Obama win, he will not be short of big names to choose for his administration.
A host of well-known figures, including some Republicans, have indicated they would be willing to serve in some capacity as Obama begins to acquire a winner’s glow. From Senator John Kerry, the 2004 presidential candidate with hopes of becoming secretary of state, to Larry Summers, a former US Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, and Chuck Hagel, the Republican senator who has been tipped as defence secretary, there are plenty who have signalled their availability....

Rep Power: 16 | | | Kerry as Sec of State? UGHH!!
But see, Larry Summers was with Clinton as treasury secretary, Obama is dipping into Clinton's economic structure and is not a socialist anymore than Cinton was.
Chuck Hagel would be awesome as defense sec. |

Rep Power: 160 | | | Hopefully, Obama is not only smart enough to select cabinet advisors based on their abilities rather than their partisan leanings, AND he's smart enough to listen to their advise, too.
It is going to be a rough four years, and one hopes that Obama is up to it. |

Rep Power: 76 | | Zbigniew Brzezinski is Obama's foreign policy advisor!!!!! Gotta read this ...
Quote
Obama's foreign policy advisor and vocal supporter is Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's national security advisor, who says that Obama offers 'a new definition of America's role in the world'.
This is the same Brzezinski who created the Illuminati's Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller in 1973. The Trilateral Commission is dedicated to a world government dictatorship and closely connects with other strands in the web like the Council on Foreign Relations (member: Barack Obama) and the Bilderberg Group.
ELITE MAPS OUT UNITED STATES POLICE STATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In The Grand Chessboard, Zbigniew Brzezinski Admits Elite Plan to Use the United States Police State to Bring About Their Totalitarian New World Order.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A United States police state is being built.
The world’s elite bankers and industrialists are planning for a future where any American child asking when is Constitution Day will be patted on the head and told, United States Police State – Zbigniew Brzezinski and United States Police State
“Constitution? That was abolished years ago… we’re merely slaves now”.
Is this all just some silly conspiracy theory that a few crazy wackos thought up?
Well, when you have the elite telling you point-blank that their goal is to use the United States as their gateway to ultimate world domination and power, it’s time to sit up and pay real good attention!
We suggest that you read a book called The Grand Chessboard - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives.
It was written in 1997 by Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Now, how many Americans would know who this guy with the crazy name is?
Unfortunately, not many.
However, it’s our goal to expose more people to this guy and the crooks he represents, such as David Rockefeller.
The book details, from the words of the elite, their plan for a New World Order,
gained by utilizing the might and force of the United States police state.
Brzezinski's foreign 'policy' during the Carter administration, as he has since admitted without regret, was to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan in December, 1979. The idea, he said, was to weaken their rival superpower and the result was a ten-year occupation that cost the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Afghans and spawned the Mujahedin, Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
Deep breath: he's now advising Barack Obama on foreign policy ...
... Whether America votes for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton the outcome will be the same because they won't dictate policy - the Shadow People will. Obama says he stands for 'change' and Clinton responds by saying she also stands for 'change', but she has the experience to make the 'change' happen.
In truth, they stand for the status quo because that's the position of those who control them. All the rest is fakery. Zbigniew Brzezinski is Obama's foreign policy advisor!!!!! Gotta read this ...

Rep Power: 39 | | | One of Obama's strengths has been to surround himself with competent people. He is not afraid to pick people who are smarter than him in their area of expertize. Good leaders will always pick the best people as their support system.
Poor bosses pick people less intelligent because they are afraid of smart people taking their job.
Bush's inability to do this is a direct cause of his horrible performance.
You're doing a fine job, Brownie.

But yeah, it is scary that somehow, maybe, just maybe, McCain could win this election. Even the Republicans are worried, because if something happens to him,,,,,,, |
