President-Elect Obama

Change is finally coming to Washington! Kick those Bush lovers out and bring back those Clinton Retreads. Oh well, so much for change!

Why are so many government top secrets being leaked out now that Obama and his top staff have been informed of them???? Is there someone in the Obama staff that has a loose tongue and no character????

If you have had as much help as Obama got then anyone can win, but there will be a price. The price will be felt in the media and because they showed favortism in great fashions, their revenue dollars will take a dive. No longer will big doners buy the NY Times, LA Times and sponsor huge media outlets like NBC, ABC, and CBS. We will begin to see a growing trend to those who have the power too withdraw their sponsorship in the outlets and again they will have to answer that. The chickens will come home to roost and it will be justice.......

One year ago the Dow was the highest it had ever been on record. The Dow declined with the increased possibility of a Barack Obama presidency. Look at the graphs. When it started looking like Barack Obama could beat Hillary Clinton in the primary, the Dow declined more, and when it started looking more like Barack Obama had a good chance of beating John McCain in the general election the Dow took a nose dive. It is most likely because of Barack Obama's plans for increasing taxes on capital gains and dividends. Let us hope congress will block Barack Obama's plans for increasing taxes so that our investment markets can rebound to a healthy level again.

Thank God for the American Constitution which divides the powers of government. It is important to keep a balance of power between congress and the president. We never want one person to have too much power or unlimited power. That would be the complete downfall of the American system and our life of freedom for the individual. That is how the G.W. Bush administration got out of bounds because of a republican president and a republican congress. That sets up a power base for the president to be given too much power. It is important to put more republicans in congress while there is a democrat president. President Bill Clinton worked with a republican congress and he accomplished many good things for our country while he was in office. Voting is not just all about the president. It means paying attention to congress members, the president and the judicial system. When you start voting you need to do your homework and understand all of the components of the system as well as the issues so that you can vote responsibly.
God Bless America!!!

I get upset and dismayed whenever I hear anyone use the term ???conservative??? as a compliment or the term ???liberal??? as a derogatory. I mean I just can???t imagine where these people have been or how they missed what has been happening all around them. It isn???t that the reverse is true either, just that it is untrue and greatly misleading to view either term in those regards. Actually either term can cover both good and bad qualities, qualities that can even alternate between good and bad depending on other factors, and the proponents advocating that one is absolutely good and the other is completely bad are making a more complex picture too simple, very likely just intending to create a bias favorable to their view. Take our current financial status and the significant fault ???conservative??? thinking and the resulting ???conservative??? policies have had in the development of the drastic meltdown. The philosophies of open markets and deregulation always seemed as being ???conservative??? thinking that had real merit yet the current results would seem to indicate quite the opposite is true. That of course would be another over simplification. No doubt the philosophies, in an academic way, really do have merit but in application they obviously need a more pragmatic implementation to include enough regulation, enforcement and real control to check human nature???s propensity for greed and dishonesty, for focus on self-interest and even illegal manipulation, for the realization that ???power corrupts and total power totally corrupts???. Then of course there is the condemning as ???liberal??? the having of any government programs to help the poor, as being a ???tax and spend??? mentality of the Democrats, thus lumping everything together as a negative. Going right along with that is they then advocate that Tax Cuts and breaks for the wealthy and big business stimulates the economy and then ???trickles down??? to everyone else.

It is clear that when you look at the voting demographics my once proud GOP has lost it's way trying to cater to the religious nut jobs on the far right. Only two demographics voted in high numbers, over 65 and the evangicals. Someone get our party back to what it once stood for, small government and fiscal conservation.Obama had a better message and appealed to a larger population. He deserves to be POTUS

Look in the mirror, "kboogie". You said "McCain should just drop dead" - Your words. Hmmm - Who is the racist here???

A few months ago, the magazine American Prospect published a detailed analysis of Obama's governing style. The common portrayal of Obama as some sort of radical, liberal, leftist, communist, socialist, Muslim is rather misguided and certainly oxymoronic if you consider that the Prophet Muhammed was a rather successful merchant.
Obama tends to be cautious, pragmatic, and practical. He attempts to seek a multiple view of the problem and create a solution rather than governing from some sort of ideological dictates. His campaign tended to be somewhat measured and pragmatic - so will his governing.

Do not have too high or ambitious expectation, lest one gets more disappointed eventually.

Lots of people have little sense of individual judgment. The herd psychology works beautifully in the recent presidential election, unsurpassed and practically unprecedented.

But when it comes to reality and euphoria gradually fades away, scenario will change. Has one not noticed that the Dow quickly dipped by more than 400 points the very first day after the election? Where will the new administration get the money to fulfill all the promises?

And then history will happily repeat itself.

Well "soulgolem - I wish I had money to give to her!

Americans nowaday are more and more day dreaming and denying the reality. Please take a close look to the world around you. It's 21st century already, China, India today is not of them just few years ago,

If you want to keep your American Dream, then you have to be smarter work harder and save more, otherwise your job will be taken by ... some Chinese or Indian (because their paycheck much much smaller than yours), your kids can not compete with their kids (because their kids know to set their goals and work much harder than your kids). Blaiming (or believing) on the president, on the goverment is not help you at all.

Do you think Obama and his Democrat fellows can change things around. can turn Kim Yong Ill to a kinder man, can turn Iran to a friendlier country.
Do you think Obama can help you to keep your house (where you shouldn't buy it in the first place).
Do you think Obama can help you to keep your job by stopping corporations to ship jobs oversea
Do you think Obama can provide everybody with affordable healthcare as his promises.

Keep hoping....

Nobody but yourself can help you.

Have you ever wondered why your neighbor, your relatives .. in very much the same situation but they seem get out of trouble.

For 65 million people who vote for Obama; Keep your fate and your believing because I know your vote is your hope for a better future. If four years from now you still complaining then you become an idiot..

To me, I still strongly believe on the principle of Conservative's wisdom. I'm a middle class man , my salary is under 60K, I and my wife support 2 kids and always take good care of ourself

I'm a Repubican, I love McCain and I believe He's a good man

Now that Osama is elected, be prepared for the transformation to a Terrorist backed muslim country. Osama will use Biden as his first beheading to make his point to all of the people!!

What Obama means to this country is that there is a SUCKER born every minute, and Obama had just proved it by spinning his lies to all of the brain dead voters who supported him. Now everyone, let's see this Obama work his Moses like powers and see him get our country out of debt, out of wars, out of other countries business, out of the United Nations, Out of NATO, out of NAFTA, let's see him create millions of jobs that pay over $100,000/year for all, give FREE GOVERNMENT Medical, Prescriptions and Dental CARE, FREE COLLEGE TUITION FOR ALL CITIZENS, FREE BAIL OUT MONEY TO TAXPAYERS FOR PERSONAL DEBT, let's see if Obama is going to lower fuel cost to $1.00/Gal, FREE VACATIONS FOR APPLYING FOR THE ABOVE PROGRAMS, Free government surplus supplies that are just sitting around in warehouses across the country, free access to all Congressional meetings, free night stay in the white house, free ride on air force one, a free tour at the NORAD site in Colorado, there are just so many things that Obma can do for all of us, if he can keep all of these campaign promises!!!!
