Choosing ‘Rahmbo’

Oh, well....as we didn´t know it already months ago - when Obama shouted "Hillary Clinton is old Washington - we will bring CHANGE to Washington!"
Of course it had to happen; he NEEDED the Clintons, and people "hating" the Clintons were suddenly upset that Bill Clinton "didn´t do enough for Obama". Now he is picking the Clinton people to support him. Which only confirms they were right; he does not have enough experience, made enough connections by himself, nor will it be the "big change" he won this election on - squeezing out much more experienced and skilled people, with verbally "hitting without making bruises"; well done, you - throwing dirt with what you are NOT saying, manipulating with words....and people just go right into the trap.

That said; I do think this was the best choice of the two - but far behind what we could have had with the much more experienced Hillary - who would stand more firmly on her own two feet.
So much going on during a campaign, where things are heated up, and people just throw stuff out without reflecting - and the bias media and their articles making the heat worse.
All the Newseek articles on "white racists", that "could cost Obama the White House" - and that there would be "riots if he doesn´t win"; all just stirring up racial divide.
So now what, those of you who shouted "foul!", "racist!" - when you see the man get elected by getting the majority of white votes, "white people" all around the States and elsewhere in the world, cheering for his victory? That tell you anything? Also.....does any of this touch and change the heart of Wright and his fellow preachers of"racist whites"?

Now the question "did it help Obama to be of color", suddenly is discussed in articles, while when Geraldine Ferraro long time ago addressed that, she got fired; Obama and the media was "enraged".
So many bad thing happening in these campaigns, and Obama and Axelrod has cleverly been masking their attacks behind "just innocent and well meaning me" - "bad others, playing race card and divisive exchange".

Well, well...it´s done. So - time will tell. Might be a good thing "race won" - to heal the wounds that never seem to stop bleeding, to make the wounded heal and see that the world has changed - and maybe, as countries who "hate America", found "their man" in Obama......bridges can be built.

Some people have already made comments on CNN that "maybe next time, a man from a minority group can be President!".
So...it´s still about men.....
I´ll be thrilled, when we as a nation, as a world, will accept a woman in the position as President - and not seeing it as "cute" that they run.
We have, obviously, a long way to go before that happens. I never really thought so, before the treatment of Hillary

The reasons for the drop are 1. Business out there is that bad and 2. the markets saw an extremely liberal president with an extremely liberal congress. Jobs will be lost, i bet 10% unemployment before it gets bettter, businesses will fail and all of you who heard 95% of americans will get a tax cut, think again. anyone making $42K will have taxes increased. It is going to get much much worse before it gets better out there and there is nothing your precious savior can do about it. And when it does get better on its own like it alwyas does naturally, not because of a president, he will spend like crazy, grow government, and increase taxes on everyone but those on welfare. Overpromis, under-deliver..just another politician doing what it takes to get elected.

Well Obama fooled me.... I'm a sucker.

I really thought he was bipartisn and not a typical politican.

Now only 24 hours after the electon, he chooses one of the most partisn people for chief of staff. Rahn has voted with his party 99% of time, on top of it he has publically said " they (republicans) can F--- themselfs"

Plus he is being investigated by a special task force, plus he is part of the chicago machine. Check out the article in Chicago tribune. This is so disappointing.

I hope Obama has not sucker us on everything.

Rahmbo??? is a GREAT choice.
This is a WIN WIN.
Rahm know the ropes and traps in the position.
He's more nimble them Polsi or Reid - Sharp enough to handle the Republican Shrill machine.
Besides this is his GREAT opportunity to practice his chops for becoming a Speaker of the House someday.
He'll be GREAT at moving the House and Senate in the direction it SHOULD go NOT wants to go.
Oh yeah... a WIN for us too.

The handwritten prayer left by Barack Obama in the cracks of Jerusalem's Western Wall; Lord _ Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will. The prayer has been answer !

Newly elected President Obama has demonstrated consistency and tact. He will make some decisions he knows will come with criticism. Qualified leaders are out there, the difference will be are they willing to rethink their choices and make ethical decisions taking our nation to a new height. We have to use what we have and Obama can tailor his cabinet anyway he wants, I have confidence and prayer riding on changes. We have trusted former presidents, he deserves our trust and support of his judgement. Don't be too anxious to judge, change is progressive!

Obama's PRESIDENCY has been praised by the entire world hoping that being a just, fair and decent human being, the way he has portrayed himself, he will bring respect for America and he will established America as the kinder, gentle, peace loving, fair and just Super power.
But within 24-hours he is losing the respect from some of the world Nations including the oppressed Palestinians by appointing the harsh and right wing Israel leaning Jew as his Chief Of Staff. IF HE WILL CONTINUE SUCH APPOINTMENTS, PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT VERY SOON, WHETHER HE IS CAPABLE OF MAKING ANY POITIVE CHANGES IN THE AMERICAN POLICIES OR WILL USE THE SAME OLD CARDS? AND LIKE BUSH, HE WILL ALSO LOSE HIS AND AMERICA'S IMAGE WITHIN FEW DAYS OR MONTHS.
