Honestly, ya can’t make this stuff up. No one would believe it. Really, fact is better than fiction anymore.

The incoming Obama administration plans to create a new position to coordinate outreach to Iran and is considering a number of senior career diplomats, State Department officials and Iran specialists say. President-elect Barack Obama promised during his campaign to seek dialogue with Iran without preconditions in an effort to persuade Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program, but also has pledged to toughen sanctions. A State Department official said the idea of naming a senior Iranian outreach coordinator was broached in the first transition meetings with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama’s choice for secretary of state, and her transition team earlier this month. “The idea is that the position should build on the existing diplomatic framework,” the official said. He asked not to be named because a nominee has not been announced.

Meanwhile…Senator Obama is getting 2 (sometimes 3) Presidential Daily Briefings on the highest level of classified intelligence reporting. So, sometime after he gave the go-ahead to start setting up to “talk” w Iran (as if it hasn’t already been tried) he went to a PDB briefing-maybe before bedtime-and was told:

Coalition special operations forces captured a suspected Iranian “agent” and an associate during an early morning raids north of Baghdad, Multinational Forces Iraq reported. The Iranian is described as a “commander of Iranian special operations in Iraq who is also believed to be involved in facilitating training of Iraqi militants at Islamic Republican Guard Corps-Qods Force training camps.”

GOOD GOD!

That is scairy how close it is to Obama’s perspective!!

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you’d like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a moon floating in de sky looking like a lily on a lake,
Talk about a bird learning how to flyMaking all the music he can make
Happy talk, keep talking’ happy talk,Talk about things you’d like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream,How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a star looking like a toyPeeking through de branches of a tree,
Talk about a girl, talk about a boy,Counting all de ripples on de sea
Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you’d like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream,How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a boy saying to de girl: “Golly, baby, I’m a lucky cuss!”
Talk about a girl saying to de boy: “You an’ me is lucky to be us!”
Happy talk, keep talking’ happy talk,Talk about things you’d like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream,How you gonna have a dream come true?
If you don’t talk happy and you never dream,Then you’ll never have a dream come true.

Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the next four years is with each blunder, he/they make, each carefully designed move in modifying current laws, creating new ones that will push us closer toward a socialistic state/society, growing numbers of the useful idiots will not have a clue as how they are being sucked in.
