Hey, Mr. President-Elect, Got a Minute ... or 10?

what are all of you afraid of.........really. ? He is our President whether we agreed with Bush or not he was the president, we all rallied around him after 9/11. It was only after, WE found out that WE had been mislead that folks became more critical of Mr. Bush. I was taught as a young man as all of you were that the USA is the great melting pot. If that is the case WHAT is wrong with being an ARAB or Muslim. Our kids, yours and mine go to school with children of all faiths and nationalities, but yet as adults we can't seem to get past it. It is our differences that makes us a great country. Give the man a chance

To jl walker: Boy, where did you go to school? My, my. Calling me a racist is about the stupidest thing you could do. I worked for 10 years in an administrative position at the first historically black college. You can't be a racist and work there. Fantastic people. So, grow up.

All I heard during the election was lies from BOTH sides, so don't preach to me. And not just at the national level either.

Things you said about Palin may be true, but you gave no notations as to where you got your information.

And let's go a step further. Who among us on here does not have a skeleton or two in our closet? We all do.

It's just that some are more pervasive than others. Jeremiah Wright is a skeleton that doesn't go away.

Have any of you noticed how many posters on here are praising ALLAH for electing Obama?

The difference between me and some of the small-minded nasty-talking people on here is education and experience, and memory.

There is an old saying that if you forget the past your are doomed to repeat it.

Bitter, angry, stupid losers....sore losers, racists, bigots, religious zealot fools. YOU GUYS LOST IN A LANDSLIDE. WE WON YOU LOST. We had 8 years of your way, and look where the country is economically. Are you all low IQ jackaazze. The country spoke loud and clear, and of course being the good patriots you all profess to be, I will expect you to support our new president...or more likely remain the shallow dumb ass hypocrites you always have been.

???Not only that, but for some reason the demand for plumbing work from the group of people who get it for free has skyrocketed, and there???s a long waiting list of those who need repairs. This has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business, and they???re not being replaced ??? nobody is going into the plumbing business because they know they won???t make any money. I???m hurting now too ??? all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won???t pay their fair share.???

Obama tries to straighten out the plumber : ???Of course you???re hurting, Joe! Don???t you get it? If all the rich people learn how to fix their own plumbing and you refuse to charge the poorer people for your services, you???ll be broke, and then what will you do????

Joe immediately replies, ???Run for president.???

Continued:

In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there???s no way he???s paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Joe leaves.

Obama spends the next hour flipping through the phone book looking for another plumber, but he finds that all other plumbing businesses listed have gone out of business. Not wanting to pay Joe???s price, Obama does nothing.

The leak under Obama???s sink goes unrepaired for the next several days.

A week later the leak is so bad that Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every hour, and there???s a risk that the room will flood, so Obama calls Joe and pleads with him to return.

Joe goes back to Obama???s house, looks at the leaky pipe, and says ???Let???s see ??? this will cost you about $21,000.???

???A few days ago you told me it would cost $9,500!??? Obama quickly fires back.

Joe explains the reason for the dramatic increase. ???Well, because of the ???Joe???s Fair Plumbing Act,??? a lot of rich people are learning how to fix their own plumbing, so there are fewer of you paying for all the free plumbing I???m doing for the people who make less than $250,000. As a result, the rate I have to charge my wealthy paying customers rises every day.

Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama???s house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood and where it???s clear that all the residents make more than $250,000 per year.

Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it???s an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes.

Obama asks Joe how much it will cost.

Joe immediately says, ???$9,500.???

???$9,500???? Obama asks, stunned. ???But you said it???s an easy repair!???

???Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free,??? explains Joe. ???It???s always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It???s known as ???Joe???s Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.??? Surprised you haven???t heard of it, Senator.???

you whiny whiny morons need to get over the fact that you lost and the country won. go on and talk about PRESIDENT OBAMA being muslim and black and keep repeating your lies and slander to yourselves and try to console your broken hearts (and brains). We have had to put up with the idiocy of Bush for 8 years now it is your turn!!

The media's "parading" of Obama and his victory is only going to intensify the deep seeded dislike and yes sadly, hatred that many Americans have for Obama. Many of you are commenting on USAF Retired comments and other discerning comments made about Obama. The scary reality is that the feelings of USAF Retired are shared by millions of Americans!

While I applaud Obama for running an excellent campaign and I can feel the proudness and pride that many have because of Obama's historic win, I can also feel the silent tension that is escalating and that scares the hell out of me!

My gut and instinct tells me that the jubilation, celebration and glee is going to be very short lived and I TRULY pray that my gut and instinct are SOOOOOOO WRONG!

I believe I just saw a comment regarding shooting the SOB and things will return to normal by a USAF Retired. I believe this is against the law and should be reported promptly to the authorities.

Ah, yes, Mr. Military. Let's unleash all your assassins on the Nation and see what kind of country survives. Why stop with one agent of Change, why don't you take out everyone who stands in the way of fascist Tradition. Just line everyone up against the buildings everywhere and have the Patriots kill us all by the millions. Good thinking. That's the America you really aspire to. You show your true colors by publicly hoping for the murder of the President-Elect.

USAF Retire, How can you be so stupid? He is our new president and we must support him, you as a "Retired Veteran" should see this. I voted for McCain, I support our new president. Don't be so ignorant. I also served in the Military as did my wife. God Bless our Country and God Bless our President.
