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.

The report said the campaign shows that the United States has undergone a fundamental change and pointed out the obvious: Hillary is a woman, Obama is black and McCain is old.

Obama has said that he may be willing to sit down face-to-face with leaders like North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il if that's what it takes to resolve the continuing nuclear tension on the Korean peninsula.

McCain said last month that it is of vital interest to the United States to end nuclear weapons programs by countries like North Korea, calling Kim a "dictator."

McCain said a warning by President John F. Kennedy "resonates more today than ever before. North Korea pursues a nuclear weapons program to the point where, today, the dictator Kim Jong-Il has tested a nuclear weapon and almost certainly possesses several more nuclear warheads."

Obama offers the kind of change MOST of America's enemies can believe in....it's called caving in.....So, I guess it's not as nebulous as I once argued. It can be defined now.....

copy, paste, repeat.

Hey guys, when is your wedding?

Oh, man, think of the evil offspring!!!

You should know better than to confuse evil with stupidity.

i wish it were otherwise, but the most logical course with regards to the DPRK, at this point, is to keep sending them rice every time they rattle their sabers. war with them--active war, that is--has a high potential for being very, very nasty. i'm talking hundreds of thousands dead in the first three days unless they suffer a quick, decisive defeat (which is a possibility).

given that, i think Obama is the best man to trust with that decision. the DPRK is aware of that, too--they don't want an active war any more than we do, for all their bluster. so, yeah--no shit, they're hoping Obama will win.

Why does Wright get so much attention when there's crazy nutjobs like that?

Liberal media my ass.

Quite true. Anybody else notice how much more coverage Obama's non-flip-flop about financing got than McCain's absolute flip-flop on coastline oil drilling got on the news-babble shows this morning?

the liberal media is just trying to fool us. don't fall for their tricks! jesus wouldn't!

Jesus was a hippie! Don't let anybody fool ya.

Yeah really. After McCain spent week in and week out, for 20 years(!) in Hagee's church, that kind of craziness is bond to rub off. Oh, wait...

McCain didn't have to spend 20 years at Hagee's church. the crazy was already there, as evidenced by the fact that McCain asked Hagee for an endorsement.

Do we have to go over all this again?

Hagee got plenty of attention. The Wright thing got more attention because Obama mishandled the situation (first saying that he couldn't denounce him, and then, some time later, denouncing him), causing it to drag on for a longer period of time, and because their relationship was much, much closer than McCain and Hagee's.

so?

Anything of substance other than taunting? Hmm, perhaps we need to let Bald_Eagle know that trolls are bred on either side of the political spectrum...

All this post deserves is taunting.

Um, if I understand you correctly, you said the "post", right, not the poster and/or those in agreement with the poster, right? I mean, I am just fact checking, is all.....whatever, out of respect for Stockula, and a I post I find important, I am bowing out now.....apologies Stock...I will NOT be the one to hijack this thread....you can leave it up to the leftist loons.

What part of "actively seeks endorsement" do you not understand?

How is that fact checking?

I shall clarify. This post and the OP deserve taunting. As do any who think that a candidate is somehow in control of what people around the world say.

+1, Funny.

It doesn't matter to you that the leader of the most inhumane and cruel regime in the world would like to see Barack Obama as president of the US? Why do you think that is?

Why do you think that is?

Also, while you're at it, what's with those sunglasses he always wears?
