What Is Obama Up To?

[Steve_A]

Hi Everybody,

I know we must wait and give people an opportunity to show us what and how they think, but after the lunch with the ex and current presidents, which in theory Barak should have not been invited to as he has never been in a presidential position (even he says that there can only be one government at a time) now his choice to fill his defense team even has me pondering.

Whatever did they talk about over that presidential lunch?

Best regards,

Steve

Oh! and maybe, what kind of rug design, Obama is contemplating for the Oval Office?

sorry Steve only half serious, been up too long.

Yes, Steve A, that lunch surprised me too. I read somewhere that Obama had asked G.W.B. to arrange it. My feeling is that Obama will do all the "right" "expected of a President" things up front, but will get his team working behind the scenes on all fronts. I read somewhere (too much reading !) that that has already been happening as regards the current situation in Gaza, i.e. that he has had someone over there - into the country quietly through Egypt. This encouraged me greatly, and this is the way I think he will act - without great fanfare. Let's keep praying and believing.
