In E-mail, McCain Thanks Supporters

Cindy and I would like to take a moment to thank you for your loyal and steadfast support during the course of this campaign. Governor Palin, her husband Todd, our families, friends and campaign staff extend our deep appreciation for your tireless dedication, support and friendship.

It is the end of a long journey and your support through the ups and downs has meant more to us than you may ever know.

Although we were disappointed with the results, we must move beyond this campaign and work together to get our country moving again.

It is our sincere hope that you will join us in putting our country first and continue to work to keep our nation safe, free and prosperous.

We urge you to join us in not just congratulating Senator Obama, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together as a nation. Whatever our differences may be, we are all fellow Americans.

We are truly blessed to live in this great country and call ourselves Americans, and we will forever be her loyal servants.

Today, let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.

With warm gratitude,

Cindy McCain
Cindy and John McCain

Opet, dao sam konkretne primere kako bih podržao pravilo u tezi koju zastupam. Američki pravosudni sistem je superioran, po iskustvu, konzistentnosti u primeni, obrazovanosti "kadra", u odnosu na njihove evropske kolege (izuzimajući UK), a daleko je superioran u odnosu na ostatak sveta.

Da se ne pravimo naivni. Kao sto je opste poznato, najveca dostignuca u oblasti krivicnog prava, a posebno ratnih zlocina, ostvarena su nakon drugog svetskog rata. U tom smislu, mozda to iskustvo i razvijenost pravosudja USA vazi za neke druge pravne oblasti, ali o konzistentnosti, iskustvu itd. ne znam zbog cega bi dao neku veliku prednost pravosudju i zakonodavstvu USA.
Radi se o civilizacijskim tekovinama, koje su za razliku od nekih drugih pravnih oblasti, prilicno jasne i unifikovane, za one koji su ih prihvatili. Za one koje ih nisu prihvatili, verovatno i "nisu jasne", jer im ne odgovaraju.
Govoris o superiornosti.
Hajde da se osvrnemo na superiornost americkog pravnog sistema u poslednjem ratu u Iraku. Dokazani mucitelji po zatvorima u Iraku dobili su uz prizananje samo par meseci zatvora uz mogucnost ponovnog rada u vojsci USA. Rec je o krsenju Zenevske konvencije, koju je Vrhovni sud SAD, prakticno, morao da potvrdi, jer je Bushova administracija pokusala da je zaobidje, sto se na kraju i desilo.
Naravno, u celoj prici nema ni K od komandne odgovornosti, jer je to mucenje i ubijanje bilo sistematsko i naredjeno od visih instanci.
Sve su to stvari zbog kojih ICC dobija smisao, jer je tu da pruzi odgovarajucu dozu objektivnosti u sudjenjima bez politickih pritisaka, koliko god je to moguce.

Obama se predstavlja kao moderan politicar, koji se brine za prava "malog" coveka. Nadam se da ta borba za prava "malog" coveka nece vaziti iskljucivo za drzavljanje USA, jer bi i svetska javnost u suportnom bila duboko razocarana.

AP Lists Names Mentioned For Top Obama Administration Jobs


President-elect Obama is weighing an array of Washington insiders and outsiders, including some Republicans, for top administration posts, according to Democratic officials.

Obama has signaled that he will make no Cabinet-level appointments immediately, and his deliberations are tightly held by his closest aides. But that hasn't stopped Democrats and interest groups from circulating lists and offering recommendations to the Obama transition team.

Some are surprising, such as former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell as possible education secretary. Others are high-profile governors or members of Congress. Yet many are also little known to the general public _ and may remain so.

Obama has less than 11 weeks to staff his new administration. Some names often mentioned as possible appointees to top posts:

Evo vec dva dana pomno pratim Baraka Obamu i moram priznati da je politicka gromada. Dugo dugo nisam slusao boljeg, modernijeg, prodornijeg i iskrenijeg politicara. Cini mi se da je SAD trenutno na prekretnici, a samim tim i cela planeta, pa me zanima sta drugi misle o Obami i da li jos neko ovde prati trku za predsednicke izbore 2008?

Bojim se da ipak niko nije na prekretnici.Neupuceni i dalje veruju da je Obama legalni i legitimni pobednik i sl...bla,bla....Da,jeste,ali neko sasvim drugi ga je postavio.Onaj koji vlada svetom.On je marioneta ,bas kao i svako drugi sto je bio na njegovom mestu.Bojim sa da se "pozadinci" jos jednom sprdaju sa svetom.Ej,postavili CRNCA!!!!Koje zezanje! Sta li je sledece....?

Otvoren je novi topik o SAD i Obami. Zamolio bih vas da ovde postujete samo u vezi proteklih predsednickih izbora, a za sve ostalo je predvidjena nova tema.

Obama Wins Electoral Vote in Nebraska

Alone among all other states, Nebraska and Maine use a tiered system for awarding electoral votes, in which a single elector is awarded based on votes within each Congressional district and two electors are awarded to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Yesterday, the Omaha World-Herald announced:

For the first time ever, a blue circle will appear in Nebraska on national electoral maps.

Democrat Barack Obama won the Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District on Friday, scooping up one of the state's five electoral votes.

"We always knew we could do it, but it would be an uphill climb. It's great to see a little corner of Nebraska turn blue," said John Berge, state director for the Obama campaign.

Berge said the victory was a tribute to all the work done by staffers and the hundreds of Obama volunteers who manned telephones and walked neighborhoods in the Omaha metropolitan area.

Tuesday's election is the first time since 1964 that Nebraska has awarded an electoral vote to a Democrat.

The Nebraska results give Obama 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 162. Only Missouri and its 11 electoral votes remain undecided.

Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.

Obama's election spurs hundreds of race threats

One was in Snellville, Ga., where Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her nine-year-old daughter the day after the election: "I hope Obama gets assassinated."

Grant Griffin, a 46-year-old white Georgia native, expressed similar sentiments: "I believe our nation is ruined and has been for several decades and the election of Obama is merely the culmination of the change.

"If you had real change it would involve all the members of (Obama's) church being deported," he said.

Komicarima u Americi se ostvaruju najludji snovi, od cetiri preostala kandidata (realno dva) za republikansku listu ne zna se ko daje vise materijala za ismevanje. Mislim da je Colbert ispustio cak i suzu radosnicu na pomen da Santorum ima bolje sanse za nominaciju nego sto se to misli (kroz dogovor sa Njutom). A po aktuelnosti ove teme, manje vise je svima jasno da se vec zna ko skoro pa sigurno osvaja predsednicke izbore, II put.
