    Thank you apex1989 for your info. You are right......Economy is VERY important to national security. I appreciate your thoughts on it.

    Have a great night - God bless the USA

    This man is a pragmatic, realist who will govern with much forethought as to benefitting the nation and it's citizenry (i.e. the common man) first and foremost. But all of you out there must NEVER forget that circumstances have changed drastically in our economy in the VERY last month of the campaign and not all previous commitments may be able to be met immediately. You MUST also remember that few commitments made by the previous administration to the citizens during its two campaigns were EVER kept at all. BE PATIENT and I guarantee you this man will be a GREAT PRESIDENT!!

    There is a different tone coming from Barack Obama now that he is the president elect. He is already making excuses for why things might not get done. 48% of us knew he was just empty words and would be backing down on what he promised, that is why we didn't vote for him. Don't see any evidence that he is going to change Washington either. Obama is already selecting plenty of insiders to show him the way around Washington. I don't think it is going to take very long before his approval rating will dip below 50%. I predict it will be below 50% within six months after his inauguration. I have a feeling that the same people who were stupid enough to get into mortgages that were over their heads are the same airheads who believed all of the hot air coming out of Obama's mouth. I just hope the business community takes over and gets the economy flourishing again so that the stock market can recover so that millions of us can regain what we recently lost in our 401K's. I am not counting on very much from Obama. God Bless America and help us get through the next four years!!!

      Ever heard the sayingnthat something is less reliable than the campaign promise? That's exactly what's going on now... Obama was promising a lot, skilfully manipulating American public. Now it's time for a reality check... boohooo

      !?48% of us?!

    While I may have reservations about Obama because he's never had to make a decision and stick with it (I don't consider voting yes or no with 99 others decision making), we do have to respect that he is our President and we ALL need to get behind him and work to make things better. If he truly is post-partisan and rules from the center, he could be very successful. If not, the partisan bickering will go on. He's at a crossroad. He has a large majority in both houses of Congress. Will he be moderate or radical. Keep in mind that the mid-term elections are only 2 years away.

    on the day president obama was elected, i saw the light and things changed, not just for me but for many allover the world both here in the USA and all other continents.
    There are several lessons to be learned and every American, weather black or white, republican or democrat should take great pride and joy in celebrating this historic moment while the rest of the world marvels at the strength of the American Democracy. How you view these developments will be somewhat influenced by your life experiences and as an african immigrant ,here are some of my views as to lessons learnt and message to the upcoming generation.
    1) while we go about our daily activities not knowing waht can become of us by accident or by design,we should always strive to do what is right and keep a good name, as sometimes opportunities arise that can take us to the next level but we may suddenly realise that the only obstacles are the inequities of our past which only we had controll over. Sometimes lack of self esteem and inability to set reasonable goals have allowed us to be tolerable of "dirt".
    Despite the edge Obama had , namely the falling economy, Bushes policies, The cry for change by the nation and the long unpopular war, if he had any reasonable "dirt" in his life he could never had won the election. So here is my message, never underestimate what you can become but you start now by living a life that is acceptable to such level of acheivement.
    2)My message is to the leaders of other nations.America has indeed proven to the rest of the world that she is in fact still the greatest country in the world. But remember what makes a country, its not just the share size and location but the people. The people who have a VOICE and the voice was heard. This is what seperates the boys from the men, AMERICA PUTS HER MONEY WHERE HER MOUTH IS even if it seems inconvenient.
    I never could comprehend the level of the spirit of patriotism when i first moved to this country. Over the last 10 years i have come to understand WHY. I now know that when a citizen knows that he or she has a voice that will be heard, and the he or she lives in a country wher opportunities have no boundaries, he or she will not think twice about defending that country , even if it means offering the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Nation.
    I hope leaders of the African Nations especially can learn from this and start promoting a democracy where the voice of the people is heard so that the leaders themselves can enjoy the patriotism of the citizens.
    As i said earler, Obamas election is an eye opener for many and many will respond from the perspective of their life experiences.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA

    Obama is and will always be a great person and a leader and for anyone who thinks otherwise will soon learn. It is great to see that people in America aren't all racist. So take a chance give a chance and see what the new leader of your country can do.

    Ok call me crazy, I did vote for McCain Palin and really wanted them to win, but here is the crazy part....

    The day after the election we had a Obama party. We bought ribs at 18.00 (they used to cost 10.00 way back I the day), a Boston cream cake with strawberries, sparkling cider, potato???s and some garlic bread. Now it was not steak but it was good eats.

    I decided to have an Obama party in that he is our new president, I am convinced that Obama from what I have seen wants to make good history, he wants to be a great president, He even had started to adapt some of the things McCain had mentioned first in his plan of going line by line and eliminating those things that don???t work and keeping those that do.

    I find myself now saying when I see some of the pictures of him after the win saying "good for him" and I just know that now we can back him up better now that we have had our Obama party

      Jews of US, and of all over the world are always in sustaining urge to find the others problems... NO -- THE PROBLEMS ARE IN YOU, I.E. INSIDE YOUROWNSELVES

  • Posted By: njs411 @ 11/08/2008 6:07:33 PM

    there is no need to go all into the he may or may not be able to please all or the majority rather Black or white has nothing at all to do with that factor. and the fact that he change history being the first African American President is in a catagory all by itself no matter what oppositions come, he is entiled to make as many mistakes as we allowed the so called well organized, Rebulicans, leave the race out of it, It was Gods will ultimately, not the people alone. I feel that these long drawed out comment are more personal than political evidently as a whole the American people feel he is just as qualified as Bush or any other President in the past rather they did a great job or not. they still made it to the White House and were due the respect of such, as equally today President Obam is the chosen one for this term. Accepted or not dose not change the fact that today he is President Barak Obama. I am African American, I did not vote for him, however I will respect him and his position just as I did President Bush and so on, because it's due them.

    Come on people, get it together. Quit worrying if this is about white or black. This country has been in real trouble since we stopped being "one country under God". We finally have an opportunity to exorcise the past ... let's do it together ... under the auspices of the Almighty.
