Default soal politik Amrik

spin off dari thread seputar Israel dan Palestina, di sini mereka yang suka berdiskusi atau sekedar posting soal Amrik, terutama dunia politik mereka, bisa saling bertukar pikiran satu terhadap yang lain ...

omong-omong ... baru baca di BBC kalau Hillary Clinton udah resmi bakal bersaing untuk kursi kepresidenan tahun 2008 nanti. satu langkah yang sudah dapat diduga sebelumnya?

Hussein Obama atau Hillary Clinton ?
Somehow even though Amrik itu negara maju I don't know apa mereka siap dengan presiden dari minoritas. Wanita mungkin, African American, maybe only in blue states.
Kalo antara Democrats sendiri, Hillary Clinton itu terlalu polarizing, kalo Hussein lebih di tengah, lebih attractive buat voters from all kinds of group.
Sad to say tapi kalo Obama itu kulitnya pigmentnya lebih sedikit, mayoritas Amrik bakalan ngedukung dia
Although gua juga ga tau si Obama kerjanya bakalan kayak gimana .. a little bit unproven.

si Hussein Osama yah hehehhe ... kapan hari benar-benar jadi obyeknya Daily Show nih orang ck ck ck ... aku curiganya, sama seperti kepik, Amrik masih belum benar-benar siap dipimpin oleh mereka yang datang dari kaum minoritas, apalagi yang memiliki agama yang berbeda dari kebanyakan orang Amrik ...

omong-omong, Cina mulai menunjukkan kekuatan militernya nih. barusan nonton berita di CNN kalau Cina berhasil melakukan percobaan misil anti satelit .. ck ck ck .. bakal terjadi perang dingin kedua kah ini?

Namanya ingetin tiga orang yg pengen dilupain sama Amrik:
Saddam Hussein
Osama bin Laden
Hosni Mobarak (because he's friends with the Bushes, anything reminding anyone that they vote two time for this guy is a bitter pill)

btw tidbits about Obama:
dia itu mixed race, orang Kenya dan kulit putih, pernah tinggal di Jakarta dari umur 6-10 tahun, mamanya married dengan orang Indonesia, punya anak satu, yg kemudian married dengan Chinese Canadian.
Jadi in that one family you got a white american, african, chinese canadian, indonesian, and mixes keren yah
N dia bukan dari agama yang berbeda vion, dia orang Kristen (Gerejanya di UCC (gabungan Evangelical and Reformed). N malahan dia malah encourage supaya orang Democrats reach out more ke Christians.
Quote:
I was drawn to the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change. [...] In the history of these struggles, I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it was an active, palpable agent in the world. [...] It was because of these newfound understandings–that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved–that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized. It came about as a choice and not an epiphany; the questions I had did not magically disappear. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth

Kayaknya bakalan ada Perang Dunia III yah? Duh ga asik nih, media punya peranan besar dalam menyuarakan perdamaian untuk dunia. Ujung-ujungnya para rockstar harus lebih sering-sering menyerukan PEACE.

Keith Ellison, dari Minnesota State. That's interesting dia menang vote over Allan Fine, seorang yahudi amerika. Kalo trendnya tetap begini sampe tahun depan, which minority leads (Ellison is a muslim, Pelosi is a woman) bukan gak mungkin Obama or Clinton jadi presiden. Tapi seperti yang dibilang Kepik, gue personally juga mikir Amerika belum siap. Mungkin jauh lebih gampang untuk minority jadi senators or congress members, but not to be a US president.

omong-omong soal siap tidaknya, poll CNN kemarin lumayan menunjukkan kalau para responden siap menerima kaum minoritas untuk memimpin US. kelihatannya sih dampak dari citra buruk Bush selama beberapa tahun belakangan ini.

Jangan lupa yang baca CNN itu semua dari blue states (Democrats, liberals) jelas mereka siap kalo next presidentnya bakalan Barak Obama atau Hillary Clinton.
Kalo polling yang sama itu ada di FOX Network, yg jadi stationnya red states (Republicans, neo-cons), jawabannya mungkin beda.

I dont think Hillary bisa jadi President, Kalo Barrack Obama masih bisa karena dia pribadi yg masih muda,smart,karismatik, african american,harvard graduate,dan dia punya hubungan yg baik dgn Republican party coz dia pernah kerja in both party (dem and rep) di Illinois utk masalah pekerjaan,tax,etc..and he is a man..man seems to have more chance than a woman (Hillary). Obama jemaat gereja United Methodist

Yah...yang republican sibuk ngurusin perang..yang democrat sibuk ngurusin gay marriage..pusingggg deh..

Terang aja dia encourage demokrat utk reach out ke Christian its all for more vote dan dia tahu demokrat tuh byk utk kota2 besar krn orang2nya mungkin lebih open minded tapi utk daerah2 kecil di US yg notabene sangat banyak org Kristen yg masih conservative otomatis mrk mau reach out kesitu karena voters republican tuh banyak dari orang2 Kristen yg gak setuju dgn poilicy2 demokrat,terlalu banyak prinsip2 kekristenan yg di"boikot" oleh demokrat atas nama "HAM",dimulai dari pelarangan doa di tempat umum,separation church and state,abortion,gay marriage,etc. Jadi banyak orang amerika sendiri sebenarnya males nyeblos demo apa repu coz dua2nya punya agenda yg parah,yg satu perang yg satu hal2 spt diatas..susah..

Belum ada dan I dont think akan ada deh ...sorry ladies..so far sih gue tetep merasa laki2 lebih capable lho,kalo wanita walaupun jadi presiden tetep aja dirumah jadi istri lagi jadi kebijakan suami yg "didengar",dejavu all over again kayak mbak mega deh

@ vion, soal NH tuh jadi an important state coz di amerika biasanya udah bisa dibaca apa political view setiap state,misalnya Illinois pasti demokrat,texas mayoritas republic,etc..tapi NH tuh balance antara rep dan demo makanya mereka berebutan,plus NH handed Bush his ONLY victory di daerah northeast ngalahin Al Gore..THAT is why NH is such an important state
