WHERE IS GORE??? Look at all he has done to educate people all over the world about the dangers of Global Warming, etc. He has been able to unite other countries with us in a quest to resolve this crisis.That in itself qualifies as foreign policy experience, along with his previous role as V.P. HE is the true maverick, and should at least be considered for Energy Secretary...He could, and would, do wonders!

there is NO ONE more qualified than COLIN POWELL for Secretary of Defence, except maybe John Mcain. Please people how can you put a politico in charge of this office. As for the Treasury Warren Buffet. The man knows how to make money no matter what. Secretary of State, don't really like any of the 4 front runners but if I had to choose I'd go with Holbrooke. Attorney general thats a gimme it's going to be Ogletree. The NSA None of the above... can't think of someone right now but it'll come to me. All I ask is to NOT give the positions to all the same old tired people. He said "change" so if he gives them to all the same old people we won't have it.

This comment is for Eagles1776, I like how you had to add in the comment about "entitlements" whats wrong with you people, why do you need to depend on the goverenment, I am only a high school grad, but somehow I make very good money, I did it by working hard and finding new oppurtunities. dont depend on the govt, they have never helped before so why now.
As for GoBidden. Hey I must admit, Palin does need to shut her mouth, all have to say is where was BIDEN, probably locked in a closet with Rev Wright

This comment is for Carolyn Babington. I too am very saddened by some of the "christian values" behind the Obama platform, but I still casted my vote for him as there were other things I still felt made him a better choice for our next president. My question to you is this, what are you doing now to prevent abortions, and unwanted pregnancies? Are you active in your community? Are you talking to teenagers? Are you writing your congressman? To me those who say they did not vote for Obama because of morals and values, what are you doing to change what we are doing today???

I just wanted to say my beleif in our new Pfesident , is great . We all need to come togetner now there has been to much war why don't we try peace for a chance..

Time will tell if the Obama presidency will fix any of our problems. Pray for wisdom for him and his staff!
I didn't vote for Obama because, realisticly, I believe his policies on taxes and health insurance will surely burden the small businesses, if not put them out of business. A small business is typically classified as one with 50 or less employees. And the fewer employees, the higher the insurance because higher the claimes risks. Do the math~ a gross income of 250k will be taxed at 39%. Suddenly, that income has dropped to 152K. Now remove overhead expenses: Business mortgage or rent, property insurance & maintenanc; vehicle and/or equipment purchases, insurance and maintenance; employee health insurance (Obama says you'll be fined if you don't provide); utilities; etc, etc. Then this business man has to provide his own home, utilities and upkeep for his own family. The list goes on. Of course the private worker making 250k won't have near as much expense, but his hard earned money he could be putting away for his kids' futures is being "spread around" in public funding! If they must increase this tax, it should have been on businesses only, more than 100 employees, and those grossing 750K or more. There's plenty of them out there. And, they would still be grossing 450K after the 39% come off the top.
Again and again, Obama said "the average, middle class, person" making 250K or more will be the only ones getting this tax increase. "Average person'? He uses this term loosly! I don't know any "average people" making half this much. If 250K is average, the majority of us are "lower class" or poverty (me included).

Whether or not you respect the man, you have to respect the office. He is our President and Commander-in-Chief. It is not the Presidency that concerns me, it is the lack of balance in our Democratic dominated congress.

To one in the same,
I do agree that it is important for all of us to support our President, differences and parties aside. However, I strongly disagree that God is dead. He is alive and in control. I know him and know that he has a plan whether or not is the one that we may have chose. And the puritans were trying to escape persecution from the catholic church and all of the reformations but they were not trying to escape christianity (Christ). They were searching for freedom TO WORSHIP the way that they wanted to and the way that they believed. They loved Christ SO much that they were willing to be persecuted for their beliefs and not conform to beliefs they didn't hold to be true. Our nation was founded on Christianity, read the constitution and their is no question that the puritans new and loved God and were putting this Nation that has since prospered in his mighty hands. They were not running from christ but from religious persecution, two VERY different things and their leaving their home in search for religious freedom shows how much they loved christianity, real true christianity that is based on love.
I am not writing you this to argue with you but I just don't want anyone to be mislead and to assure you that God is not dead.
I take pride in my conservative christian beliefs, abortion alone is murder and is a sin and I will vote based soley on my morals every election, not on my wallet or on any other issues. God is alive and well, loving and stong, powerful and mighty!! And I assure you that his hands are guiding this Nation that belongs to him (as well as everything else) at all times. I thank GOD that he has blessed me with the little knowledge of him that I have and just wanted to share a little bit of it with you. God is not dead nor will he ever be God was here before this earth and will always be here for eternity!!

I am a Canadian, married to an American, and we live in Canada. I literally bawled on election night, had goosebumps on my entire body. I looked at my husband through tears and said, honey, Americans FINALLY took back THEIR country tonight and do you know how profound that is? I have free health care ~ have rheumatoid arthritis where I have to take about $30,000 in meds a year - we're covered. My husband's Dad is 79 years old, lives in the US, is a retired Korean War Vet and MUST still work, driving a school bus, to pay the $19,000 a year for his wife's health care costs. This sad on so many levels and it baffles me that Americans don't see this as wrong - perhaps it's because they've never seen it any other way. Your country needs change. I truly believe President Elect Obama will RE-unite your country with the rest of the world. As your neighbours to the right - we're so proud, relieved and grateful that you made the right choice because we could not take another 8 years of Bush either. Thank you from Canada.

Negative thinking only pushes Black America to the top...i.e President Obama . Please get it right individuals with all backgrounds REGARDLESS of status on the social poll have made a statement to close out personal pointless view points like yours.
