To proud AMERICAN21:
First of all get your facts right. If you know anything about the politic system, you would know that it was not Black votes that but PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA in the White House it was the WHITE VOTE THAT DID IT.
NOW THAT SHOWS CHANGE AND THAT IS WHAT EVERY AMERICAN WANTED NOT JUST THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BUT ALL AMERICANS. proud AMERICAN21 you sound like you are from the deep south (Arkansas or Kentucky). I'm a African American from the Great Natural State Of Arkansas. It also sounds like you just listen to what people told you instead of finding out for your self. How many Blacks are in Iowa (Remember he won that state which is only 2% black) Now you do the math.

what obama shoul do for the refugie in orther country the need help the don't have rest there are pesecuter liike hong kong

I would very much l;ike Robert Rubin to take the post os Secretary of Treasury. He is a deficit hwk. We really need to reign federal spending in. I think he would take a carefull approach to tax increases probably targeting thenm to the super weathy.

People, Get over it!!! Obama is President! And for some of you who don't know, the black voters didn't get him Elected! Blacks only make up for 12%.in the US. So lets move forward. It is time to put all the negative comments behind and work together as Americans!!! Why is everything always about the color of someones Skin? Obama is a man, just like the other 43 Presidents!!!

I wish President-elect Obama the best. No, he did not get my vote, but I will pray for him as I do all of our leaders. I do hope he sees that the people spoke in two areas quite clearly...that they want a change from the stagnation of government and a better hope for an economic future, but at the same time it was clearly stated across the board that we are sick and tired of judges legislating from the bench on social issues and we do not want them compassionately going against our will as expressed in our vote....with an overwhelming turnout of all classes of people. We do not want a return to Clinton social policies and that is why Mr. Obama did not get my vote.

I really do not like Secretary Gates hanging on. I think his thoughts are not in tune with President Obama. I think Chuch Hagel would make a dynamite sectretary. He has always opposed wastefull spending and takes a pragmatic approach to goriegn conflict.

I really like to potential; of John Kerry at the Stae Department. He has years of experience on the foreign relations committee. I think he would bring valuable experience to the young president elect.

This presidency is not about race. As Barak Obama is actually bi-racial if people will remember the pictures of his mother and grandparents. Barak Obama has never made this about race, the people have. It's done, He is the President-elect, now let's support our choice as a nation and pray for wisdom and courage as he begins to face the challenages set forth in front of him beginning on day one.

He should pick Richardson for Secretary of State and either Summers or Rubin for Treasury Secretary. Corzine isn't getting Treasury Secretary.

Day after Obama got elected my employer promptly laid off 600 in our steel plant in Ohio. The Rich will recoup the losses confiscating their money by mass layoffs and concessions from those who remain.

People ask what kind of change Obama will bring? Change is here America. World has seen that America is still a Land of Oppertunity If you have the skills and the courage. Change has made and History is unfolding another page now. So excited to be a part of it.

What about General Wes Clark for SecDef? Have a look at his credentials; he is an ideal candidate for SecDef.

It is a shame, when people use racial slurs, no matter if they are black or white or any other nationality. If this man is supposedly a man of the people of the United Ststes, does it matter about his color. But if you look at his birth certificate, his father is listed as Arab not Black. We know he is half white. So what, but I feel like I was cheated because McCain was the better choice.

He should ask his buddy Mr. "Boss" to write a new song titled "MAY BE born in the USA" for his inauguration. I guess we don't even need to meet the constitutional requirements to be a president in America any more. I guess it is Arnold Schwarzenegger's turn then to be the next president.
