Now for the Governing

Hi Howard - I greatly enjoy your work, especially your TV appearances. However, I GOT A BIG QUESTION TO ASK YOU: I bought the 'Obama Elected' issue - I was particularly interested in the major story, HOW HE DID IT. Now, I have to ask you - why only a passing mention of the tremendously important 3rd Debate? And why NO MENTION of the special 30-minute election "infomercial" a week before the election? Absolutely, Positively these were VERY IMPORTANT in the election towards the end. BUT PRACTICALLY NOTHING IS WRITTEN ABOUT THESE IN THE 'HOW HE DID IT' STORY. How in the heck did NEWSWEEK miss that?? How did NEWSWEEK drop this ball?? As excellent as most of the story was - your missing/deleting these things is nothing but shoddy journalism. I brought this up in my journalism class at UCLA, and I must tell you - they were laughing at the "holes big enough for a truck to drive through." So - why were these 2 things left out? Or - Is TIME a better magazine than you guys, for getting "the WHOLE story"?

The Idiot Neo-Cons think all the people who did not vote for Obama made a statement. The MAJORITY voted FOR Obama. The people who made a statement in this election are the ones in the Confederate states who turned Blue - THAT is a statement!

According to Idiot Neo-Cons, Obama while campaigning painted himself as a Messiah who can fix everything, so what - like McCain didn't? What a stupid comment by the Neo-Cons - ALL politicians campaigning sell themselves like they can fix everything. Heck, even Palin tried selling herself as a fix-it-all person.

The Idiot Neo-Cons have been sleeping, especially for the past 8 years. They need to do the human race a favor and go back to sleep. They whine how Obama has no governing experience. Bush had that experience which didn't mean a thing - look at the stupid and corrupt decisions he made.

Unlike the 2004 election where the electoral vote put Bush in office, the results of this election is the PEOPLE'S choice. Leadership we can trust and be proud of, something we have not been able to do for 8 long years. Now we can walk with our heads held high. Positive attitudes and a true breath of fresh air. A good legacy to leave our children and grandchildren and generations to come. A legacy of promise, hope, and good-will is the story left behind from this election, not like the nightmare from the corrupt and idiotic Cheney/Bush Administration.

FINALLY, a positive future to look forward to. Thank Goodness - what a glorious, happy, encouraging, and hopeful time! Maybe now tolerance can be taught instead of hatred. I only pray the Lord watches over and protects Obama for his safety. The fact that most of the world agrees with the PEOPLE'S choice of this election should tell us something - the MAJORITY of us know what that is.

Too bad for McCain that Bush lied to the Hispanics that were hurriedly grouped up and registered as Republicans in 2000 and more so in 2004. If it were not for Bush's empty promises to the Hispanics, McCain would have done far better with this group.

Of course it is okay to talk with our enemies, more so long over-due. If ignoring a people and/or a country doesn't work - which has been proved for the past 8 years - we must try something different, we need to CHANGE. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. We HAVE to learn from history before it is too late.

Look Peeps,

Alright People,

Wow...that went nowhere fast. I thought the point of blogging was a rich world of ideas and exchanges. This looks like a teenage social scene with old grudges. I am 29 and praising God for the election of Obama. In case anyone has forgotten, the world is in turmoil and we as Christians need to reexamine our role in the post religious-war world. The reason Obama is so compelling (even if his rhetoric is a younger brother to MLK Jr's) is that he has ignited the fires of belief without confusing the church and the state. People get ready! The work has just begun. The responsibility belongs to us to raise families in love and respect. I suspect that the reason everyone on these blogs is so disrespectful is cuz they had no daddies!

Cyphers......beware of throwing stones. You could learn how to spell.

dedestal....what was the topic again?

Geez rgpizza2008, by the looks of your post, I would have never of guess you were a yr. away from your masters if you hadn't mentioned it. Come on woman, your giving us Democrats a bad rep. Congrads on your educational feat, but you may want to concider getting off your dedestal. I'm taking it that English 101 was not a prerequisite to get a college education
