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

You are absolutely right. People are too busy villifying Bush and believing everything that the media brainwashes them to believe. The problems we have been experiencing in this country didn't happen over night. Bush had to be the scapegoat for all of the mistakes that the "wonderful" Bill Clinton started!!! I'm so sick of the political correctness in this country. People need to stop worrying about offending the rest of the world and each other and grow some balls!!!! Well, now we will have to worry about losing the freedom that we take for granted in this country because of the need to be liked by the rest of the world!! Any President who wants to associate himself and meet with known terrorists, racists, and extremists to needs to be scrutinized!!!

Bush brought us much bigger government, a ruined economy, an unjustified war of occupation, no responsibility about paying for that war, deception, lies, destruction of the Justice Department's true role, denial of some of our most basic rights, incompetency, disrespect by our friends and allies overseas, antagonism ruining foreign relations all over the globe WITHOUT doing a thing for US security or stature, HUGE DEFICiTS, a devalued dollar, a staggering budget buried in red ink, a nation of people filled with fear and uncertainty,

The economy was the best it has been during the past 20 years under Bill Clinton. He is not the problem for you (the problem he had was one between him and Hillary). More jobs, more growth, more prosperity, good foreign relations, properly managed military engagements that ended appropriately and included our allies in the solution, Clinton brought much good to this country - something that really stuck in the craws of the Republican leadership.

Obama will be your president. He has been elected. His moral, ethical and intellectual superiority to Bush will bring us out of the mess Bush and his buddies the neo-cons created. If your income is less than $200k, you will pay less taxes, not need welfare, and government will run more efficiently while providing better services. Why would this bother you?

Sallyanne - you need to read more, broaden your news sources and learn about the possibilities - not the negativities you so fondly hang onto. This nation is only great when we work together. The nastiness in your tone indicates that you don't want things to go well for Obama. That's a shame. If it goes well for him, it will for us too.

If you love this country and all its people, you will wish Obama success and Godspeed.

YOUR PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA UNLESS YOU PLAN ON LEAVING THESE "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" What has just happened is bringing true the Constitution and that is that ALL MEN are created equal, the best man won the job (by 7.4 mill voters) I must add his key address is to finally UNITE the USA to be one country not one divided by our race,party affiliation,sex, or religion GROW UP and join in YOUR country's proudest moments now and in the future...CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!

Unless you are plannig to leave the country he is YOUR PRESIDENT ...BARACK OBAMA won the election on the terms of the american people (by 7.4mill I must add) this is not a race thing this is about building back the country that we all love...give credit where it is due and end the hate...unity is the key ladies and gentlemen it is the answer....

I agree, and now that Obama is president we may suffer a similar fate since his motto is to "spread the wealth". How else do the citizens of this country think he is going to accomplish that goal if it isn't by raising our taxes and turning this country into a socialist society. People think things are bad now, they ain't seen nothin' yet!

Assist the masses? What you have just described it complete and total socialism. Government control in absolution. It is not up to the government to spread the wealth around. I am from the lower middle class and, sure i would love to get loads of money from the government for doing absolutely nothing but how is that going to help keep people from the dependancy of welfare? It's not up to the government to give out handouts. Supply jobs and education... not welfare and taxes on the rich. The people need to help themselves and stop relying on the government to do it for them. What the government gives with one hand, it takes away with the other.

It's not up the government to spread the wealth around. I am in the lower middle class and, sure i would love to get loads of money from the goverment for doing absolutely nothing but I believe that I could never advance if I did. I don't want the government to help me or anyone. Give us jobs, give us an education... not welfair or taxes. Obama is a socialist and he wants to take away the free enterprise that our country was built upon,.

Why would you think Obama would not keep any promises??? Obama has a lot on his back now being the first African American president. He will be judged like no other so yes he will try and keep every promise he made to the people. He already mentioned he will not be perfect but will do what he can so what else do you need?? McCain has experince sure because of age. McCain is older than Obama so yes he should be wise. Though to think because your older makes you better is not right. Parents have learned from there childern. A teacher can learn from a student! Experince proved nothing if not applied! If that was the case Bush should of done well esspecailly after the fact he has had two terms and a father that was president before him.

McCain has shown class in the end though and I have to respect that! His choice as a VP had no experience either but people felt she can learn down the line. What makes her better than Obama then?? No one is too experience being a president for the first time just like anything new! Clinton was young as well as JFK! These people done a good job spite youth. Though some look at color though Obam is educated and seen both sides of the fence being bi-racial some can't except this fact! Give him a chacne first. he won because we were voting united and not divided! Old and young voted for him. Wise and unwise also! All races matter! Non better than the other! How would experince mattered when we can't get division solved?? We fight wars together and die together. We share this planet together. If it was to go we all go with it! No race would matter and should matter! GOD made us. We are his childern. We have good people and bad people in all people! Obama is needed in this time. I feel he will do a fine job because he has wise people around him and a wise VP. Also people love him. I have not seen something like this since JFK and MLK! GOD Bless!

He is may have a mixed heritage but he is still black. I hate when people say he is half white as though they need to defend the black half.

YOU sound wel informed and extremely well educated......so tell me how can I sighn up for the big welfare check u speak of ???????being blind is not a sin, just a major handicap in the reral world...
