Today is the end of 8 long years... Tomorrow is the beginning of a new 4 years. May they be different, progressive, fair, and of course, in the best interest of the people. Welcome President Obama! Change is good.

This is all over the Internet and we are all loving it! President Bush was the target of the shoes of an angry Iraqi reporter. The culture in Iraq says that throwing shoes at someone shows contempt for that person. Despite the insult, Bush went on to tout the good he has brought and Iraq. He claimed only a small minority are angry or want attention. Hmmmm...

President Bush will meet in Washington with Sudan's Vice-President Salva Kiir. The President will discuss with Sudan's leader how to reenact peace in the suffering African country. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005, but peace has rarely and minimally existed there since. Reports BBC, "Mr Kiir has said the CPA is 'staggering like a drunk person' but had not yet collapsed." Sudan

President Bush has vetoed a bill sensitively called "kid's health bill". The President had previously warned Congress he would veto that type of bill. The President has previously used his veto powers on other bills, such as ending the war in Iraq and stem cell research. Hillary Clinton, a big supporter of universal health care, was disappointed. She was quick to critize Bush quite harshly,

President Bush held a secret meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. He is wanting the Chinese government to put presure on Myanmar because of the killing against Buddist monk protesters. He asked Beijing "to help bring a peaceful transition to democracy in Burma". Way to know your audience, Bush! Myanmar has agreed to accept a UN envoy.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in town! Yes, his plans include NYC, the site of the Twin Towers (nevermind), the UN, and Columbia University. The famous Holocaust denier will be given a platform to speak. While he should be able to speak it is important to not call him an honored guest. He should not be allowed to spread hate and malice.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had a mouthful to say about President Bush and foreign policy. She made these remarks on Thursday night: "President Bush's Plan B is to leave this for the next president," "Iraq will go down as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy, bigger than Vietnam -- which is quite a statement...

Iraq will be the center of political discussion this week, and in the months to come, as General David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and President Bush begin to report progress and plans in the War on Iraq. Many groups are hoping to see wide-ranging discussion among policy-makers. One group, Sojourners, is sending a petition of 20,000 prayers for peace to Congress (see here).

Sanctions this week on the Sudanese government mark a much-needed victory for the Bush administration. The on-going violent situation in Sudan's Darfur has been declared a genocide. The world and popular media has paid little attention, except when "pop" stars like Angelina Jolie make a comment about it in Hollywood. President Bush announced the sanctions last Tuesday from the White House. For

As President Bush pushed for a time-table-less stay in Iraq, subtle manipulations of evidence were taking place to convince the public of the mess in Iraq. TIME reporter Robert Baer, a former CIA field officer assigned to the Middle East, reports on "More Bad Intelligence on Iran and Iraq": This week the White House made a big show of declassifying intelligence alleging that in 2005 al-Qaeda

This morning, U.S. officials are asserting that bombs and other weapons used against American troops in Iraq are coming in from neighboring Iran. FOXNews reports that "U.S. military commanders in Iraq have shown members of Congress explosive devices that bear Iranian markings as evidence Tehran is supplying Iraqi militants with bombs." Sen.

As for positive foreign relations, six-party negotiation talks with North Korea seem to be looking up, report many media, including Reuters, AP, and The New York Times.

Eager bloggers hear about a topic that drives people crazy and haste to bash everybody up and down. I’m days away from feeling that angry and ready to dip my feet in the angry water. There is a lot of mention about impeachment these days. There are elements of the same go-around as last time we had a President. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, on her way out, has filed a bill to impeach President Bush.

CBS is reporting that a third of American people feel that the government was behind 9/11. The past few weeks there have been mumblings of conspiracy, but is the thought gaining ground? Seems so.

Nothing in my life shocked me to my core as much as the morning of September 11, 2001. NYC's twin towers crashing down broke the hearts of a nation. And nothing wells up as much emotion and heartbreak as that day America wept... except when I hear mumblings suspecting fowl play. The humdrum of conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 has died down, or so I thought. When I hear people or blogger (well

Iraq's President is offended that the U.S. wants to continue to train the Iraqi police and army. The Iraqi president on Sunday sharply criticized the bipartisan U.S. report calling for a new approach to the war, saying it contained dangerous recommendations that would undermine his country's sovereignty and was "an insult to the people of Iraq."

The bloggers at Blogs For Bush don't think Iraq is falling apart. Perhaps only some of the media likes to portray it as so? As President Bush and Sen. McCain push for more troops in Iraq, and after 3 years developing a democracy in Muslim-ruled Iraq, one must ask... What is really going on in Iraq?
