day and they include four African Americans along with eight

Senator Barack Obama is once again getting slammed by Senator John McCain
for according to him downplaying the threat from Iran.
"Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is 'tiny' compared to the threat once posed by the former Soviet Union," McCain said during a speech in Chicago. "Obviously, Iran isn't a superpower and doesn't possess the military power the Soviet Union had, but that does not mean that the threat posed by Iran is insignificant.
This comes from a statement made by Obama on Sunday night while in Oregon while defending his view that he would step up diplomatic engagements with Iran potentiallyup to the presidential level, if he became president.
"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union," Obama said."They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us, and yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet."We should use that position of strength that we have to be bold enough to go ahead and listen. We might not compromise on any issue, but at least we should find out are there areas of potential common interest, and we can reduce some of the tensions that have caused us so many problems around the world," Obama said.
Dallas Cowboy's Cornerback Pacman Jones is asking NFL Commissioner Roger

I'm ready to get in there and learn the defense."And I've been out of the game for a year, so I need to shake off all the rust to get ready to play."
