North Korea's Kim Jong-Il endorses Obama

[Regis Philbin]

:hat: Barry has picked up quite an impressive list of endorsements lately---Kim Jong-Il, the Castro brothers, Chavez, Gadaffi, Hamas and Hezbollah. Still hasn't got the much-coveted Osama endorsement yet, but I'm sure that's coming.

Very, very impressive. :]

Obama offers change Kim Jong-Il can believe in

North Korea prefers Democratic candidate Barack Obama over Republican John McCain, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan said.

The communist country, which has survived a relatively hawkish Bush administration, considers McCain "a variant of Bush" and "nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives," according to the Choson Sinbo, a newspaper run by ethnic Koreans in Japan.

The organization of Koreans, called Chongryon, has served as Pyongyang's de facto embassy in Japan, which has no diplomatic ties with North Korea.

The newspaper expressed hope of better ties between North Korea and the United States under an Obama administration, saying that even if McCain won the election, he could not reverse U.S.-North Korea ties.

Pyongyang favors Obama because he has vowed to meet leaders of rogue states, such as the North Korean leader, without conditions if elected.

Of course they would endorse Obama...He doesn't want to attack them...he wants to TALK with them. Like talking with our enemies will get us anywhere. Just look where it got us with Saddam (after 12 years of talking).

We can NOT talk with North Korea and Iran....they will still make weapons, and they WILL eventually use them on us.

So you want to attack North Korea and Iran. Brilliant. Will you be re-enlisting to fight these noble wars?

That makes so much sense! If I have a disagreement with my neighbor, I won't try talking to him because I already know without trying that won't work. So, I'll just grab my Mossberg 500, blow his head off and be done with it. That'll teach 'em.

Yes, because it makes oh, so much sense to forbid anyone else from having WMDs outside of the US. That is ONLY something the US should have, ever.

How would you feel if these countries decided to come in and regulate how our government works? How would you like it if they came in and took over and threw our country into complete chaos, by overthrowing the government and telling us how everything should be ran?

You wouldn't like that, right? Well, that's exactly what we've decided to do with Iraq, and exactly what you want us to do with North Korea and Iran. We're the big bullies on the block who have more power and bigger guns, so we seem to think we can go around and tell other countries what they should be doing, and when they don't listen, make them listen with brute force. Exactly the kind of thing we try to teach our children not to do with their peers.

Hey, Regis. According to Fox News a group very similar to Al Qaeda endorsed Bush in 2004

And knocking him out of power then bombing the crap out of Iraq got us soooo much further.

Haha, no he won't.

For the love of gawd Im not the only one who sees how stupid that kind of thinking is! I'm a conservative and I keep wondering how the heck the US thinks it has the right to regulate who can build WMDs. No wonder the world hates the US; if any country should not have an Abomb its probably the country who actually used it against another country not once but twice!

And I'm with DoubleEdgedSword why talk with people when you can just kill them.
