He wasn't the best (nor the worst) president, but he's done some amazing work out of office: Habitat, global health work, election monitoring and diplomacy in the Sudan, Bosnia, and Israel. And I don't see why he should just sit silently by in the world just because he's a former president. It's important in a democracy that differing views are heard, not only by us, but by the outside world. <br>But he's an idiot to think NK will give in through a single act of diplomacy. Kim is a megalomaniac dictator who thinks agreements are meaningless. I'd rather send Chris Hill to talk than thousands of troops to die, but I see diplomacy as a holding action to keep Kim from doing something stupid before he dies -not a solution.</p>seoksoWed, 28 Jan 2009 21:24:41 -0000http://rokdrop.com/2009/01/27/president-obamas-idea-of-change/#comment-5634396<p>Obama would be the biggest idiot in the world if he were getting involved in this, unless he actively pushed for her to be deported. That said, I can easily imagine some foolish supporter working the system because he thinks he's helping Obama out.<br>I'm sure that once his aunt was identified in the media, the INS wants to pay extra careful attention to her case and make damn sure they have done everything perfectly.</p><p>As for the others you mention who were rejected: do you have any idea how many people apply for residency each year? And how many of those do you think are legit? Any time the government has to determine if a relationship is real or not, mistakes will be made and often.</p>seoksoWed, 28 Jan 2009 20:58:08 -0000
