Does Gupta believe in the caste system? That's a conflict with the constitution.
The president elect has excited America with promises of better government. But will this car drive?

Sanjay Gupta? OMG, we've outsourced the Surgeon General!
Obama is not going to do nothing for me. I was told that I am 20% below the poverty level. That considering everything including COLA, cost of living allowance. And if he does, he is going to make me poor. As far as I care, that man can play basketball all day long.
He asked for a chance to show he can improve things, the voters have agreeded to give him that chance, so now we wait and see if he can follow through, or if he falls short of his promises. If he has only suceeded in making empty promises, it will shortly become known, and I have faith the American people will be quite capable of calling the facts to his attention----loudly!
He wanted a chance to prove he can improve our economy, and, in general, make things better for all of us; the voters decided to give him a chance, so now lets wait and see if he can put his promises in effect, or if he has only suceeded in putting his foot in his mouth.
Sorry for the typos below. It is hard to read the light colored gray characters Newsweek uses as you type.
Why does Eleanor care whether or not her messiah delivers on his promises? Really? She is going to worship him no matter what that lying loser says or does. That is the job of the mainstream media in this country. Don't ask any serious questions, just totally kiss Obama's butt.
I will agree with you about Newsweek's light gray type. What do you expect from Newsweek? If Newsweek went bankrupt, I hope that they would not get a bailout.
You seem a little disrespectful of our new President. Were you that disrepectful of George W. Bush? I know I wasn't. I didn't vote for Bush, but I didn't become so nasty and enraged. You need to chill, and use constructive criticism not mean spiritedness.
I will agree that we should use constructive criticism when talking about the President. But Elanor Clift probably deserves all the criticism that is out there.
I will say something finally in Obama's favor. Rachel Maddow is already questioning Obama and Biden because they seem vague about their investigations of possible war crimes by the Bush crew. Obama and Biden have said that they want to be forward looking. Maddow, Olbermann, et al. are a bunch of worthless gas bags. I will also say this, the reason that I was tired of Obama to start with was not Obama's fault, it was the dumb media's fawning over him. Of course you see this in sports as well. Last year, I got sick of hearing about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Don't get me wrong, I know that the Pats were great, but I was rooting for the Giants because I got tired of hearing about Tom Brady ad nauseaum. Maybe instead of being "tired of Obana" I should say that I am tired of the media. Most of the media in this country are a bunch of brainless morons. So if the media (especiallly the militant left media) is somewhat critical of Obama, then he might be better than I think.
HOPE...CHANGE...BOLD...TRANPARENCY...really cool words...but a little problem...Words will not keep us safe. Homobama and Panetta plan to gut the C.I.A. (Panetta was responsible for declined funding under Clinton), Holder (his planned A.G.) and Reno were responsible for the "WALL" between the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. The combination of these two decisions greatly increased the risk to us...resulting in 9/11.
Bush for whatever faults you make find...kept us from being attacked again. Now "The One" wants to destroy that safety net...does he want us hit??? Makes me curious. We know very little about our soon to be Prez. Heck we don't even know where he was born for sure. He's spent One MILLION dollars to keep it a secret.
We will be attacked. I'm sure the BarackStar will soundly chastise and condemn the action. Heck he will probably even bomb a fertilizer plant to show he means business.
Maybe the answer is to accept Islam and institute Sharia law. I'm sure PEBO would find that acceptable.
Allah Akbar Y'all
NOBAMA!!!
Are you still campaigning? Did you not hear that your side lost! Get over it, move on.
Glad you love the 1st amendment.
Some folks have an axe to grind because their guy (and Goddess Sarah) lost in the 2008 election. Gee, it sure sucks to be you. Well, give Obama your best shot. He's a man, he can take it. If that doesn't help, you can always try primal scream therapy.
Meanwhile, the rest of us will be doing our part to repair the incredible damage done to the US economy and our standing in the world by the Bush/Cheney Administration during the past eight long, arduous years.
My suggestion? Either get on board and help with the recovery or get the hell out of the way!
I guess that means that dissenters don't have the right to disagree or protest. If Obama screws up, and I am not saying that he will, but I am saying "if" he screws up, will anybody hold him accountable?
I totally agree!
PE Obama's most effective and beautiful machine is his millions campaign followers, who are busy celebrating their new leader's inauguration ceremony. What's next best for them to do ? I think the Treasury should start printing new energy bond and health care bond so that they should go out to sell those bonds to the public instead of having the Fed print the money for the stymulus. proposed by their leader.
Obama promised us "change and hope." Does he have more experience than Sarah Palin?.....Nope! With political expedience and main stream media"s obedience, he reassembled Clinton's ol' Washington dopes.
Obama certainly is doing the right things and I have no doubt of his sincerity to bring America back from the brink.
The fact is however unless he is successful in restoring small business and industry in this country in a short time America will take a back seat to Chins.
This country recovered from the Reagan/Bush41 economic crisis because we still had some semblance of manufacturing to restore the middle class.
This time after the exodus of business and outsourcing of jobs over the last eight years recovery will be much more difficult and slower.
This fact is largely ignored even by so called economists. The fact is Supply side economics touted by Bush works; unfortunately it does not work for Americas Main Street it works for Chinese Main Street.
The true supplier is always the manufacturer and a percentage of every product bought flows to that manufacturer.
To now expect the restoration of industry in America to happen overnight is ludicrous even in light of Obamas clear intent to do just that.
RO in Reno more jobs were outsourced under Clinton then under Bush. Manufacturing is dead in the U.S. as planned through the U.N. to equalize global standards of living. The Dems are all on board with teh plan but while we wait for others to catch up we lose jobs. (Maybe this is just a conspiracy thought)
"To now expect the restoration of industry in America to happen overnight is ludicrous even in light of Obamas clear intent to do just that."
Nice post throughout. Thanks.
Your right it will take a long time to fix this mess - the next republican congress!!!
A two trillion dollar deficit is unacceptable. For eight years we have heard all the screaming about the "Bush" deficits but it appears Obama will eclipse Bush's 8 years of deficits in just two years. Of course to dems this is to fix the Bush mess. Let's see Obama plans massive spending increases with tax cuts sounds like Bush to me? We need massive spending cuts not increasesto go anywhere. Two trillion more in deficit adds 100 billion to next year' budget in interest alone. Avoid any more stimulus and let the economy fix itself. Too much tinkering will prlong the agony. Reagan ended the Carter mess in less than 2 years with no stimulus package just tax cuts. Obama should cut taxes and spending and that will stimulate the economy more than a money give away.
Will the infrastructure and construction jobs benefit American citizens or mostly the invading horde of Illegal Aliens and the rich contractors?
We really need the infrastructure and construction jobs without E-verify so we can put the millions of Illegal Aliens back to work, so they can send money home to support Mexico! The contractors can get paid at union scale, charge the tax payers union scale, hire Illegals at slave wages, pocket the different s, and hit the tax payers for both their wages and the billions in cost to educate their many children, provide medical and welfare.
Sounds like the same old scam, reward the Rich and the invading horde of illegals Aliens and soak the tax payers that have obeyed the laws, paid the taxes and fought the wars and built this Nation!
You would think the Politicians would be content with just outsourcing all the jobs that are possible but No they want to bring in Slave labor ( while ignoring Article IV Section IV of our Constitution against invasion, the rule of Law, and their Oath of office) to take the jobs that cannot be outsourced! To add insult to injury they make the American citizens still working pay billions in extra taxes to educate, provide medical, welfare and jail cells for the invading horde that are taking our jobs and driving down our standard of living! While keeping busy Robbing, Raping and Killing American citizens at an rate that Bin Laden can only dream about!
The Democrats love the millions of Welfare votes. The Republicans love the slave labor for their Pay Masters in the Chamber of Commerce and business. So there is little or no hope for American citizens and the future viability of this nation as we know it.
We can see Sam Huntington was right in his book Clash of Civilizations if we will only look and be rational. But too many are not prepared for logic or rational discourse and resort to hurling racist insults. If we are realistic and look at the havoc caused by the millions invading Hispanics on our communities, culture, crime, economy, welfare and standard of living the only conclusion possible is that no Nation can withstand or assimilate Millions of citizens from another culture! That does not want to assimilate but come here for the jobs and welfare while keeping loyally to their home countries! This Nation is changing to the very same type of culture and society the invading millions have created, built and sustained for 100,s of years and are now fleeing in their own Countries!
One has to only look at Calif. which is basically an Bankrupt state that cannot afford to provide Welfare, Schooling, Medical etc. for millions of Criminals and uneducated peons from Mexico!
The future is an over populated, Spanish speaking third world Nation that is an Cesspool of Corruption, Crime, Poverty and Misery modeled on Mexico!
Everything you just said is so sadly and painfully true, but the American sheepoeple cannot see, they are on the tracks with a runaway train headed their way to paralyzed by fear and doubt to move, to afraid to speak the truth, afraid they will be called racist and bigot by the lefties and the MSM, where are all the good people of courage who will speak the truth and restore honor dignity and the rule of law to a lost nation.
Words from another "Christian".
Hey, simply not having a venal moron sociopath who's not beholden to every crackpot in America running the show can only be an improvement.
I think Obama has good intentions but I also think under his watch we will leave stage 7 and enter stage 8!
1.How Long Do We Have? Looks like stage 7 to me!
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
???A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.???
???A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.???
???From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.???
???The average age of the world???s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years???. ???During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage???
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: ???In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore???s territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare???Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the (complacency and apathy) phase of Professor Tyler???s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation???s population already having reached the (governmental dependency)phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
This post is almost entirely a complete and utter lie. Professor Joesph Olson claims to have never said any such thing. Another right wing hoax. Read about it here:

Debunking falsehoods is service to all. Thank you.
Why does Eleanor care whether or not her messiah delivers on his promises? Really? She is going to worship him not matter what that lying loser says or does. That is the job of the mainstream media in this country. Don't ask any serious questions, just totally kill Obama's butt.
This country is at far greater risk due to the Democratic Party bailout efforts, and the resultant "change in mindset" by Business, States, and individuals that Big Brother Government will always bail them out...
We are killing the concept of Personal Accountability, and Person Responsibility... and that will kill the country.
What BS ! ! !
Bush just gave away $300B+ just to prevent total collapse of the entire financial industry. That's just shoring up, it's doing anything to aid in recovery from the disaster of the recession we're in. Every economist who is both alive and conscious agrees that massive stimulus is necessary. The only disagreements are that most think much more stimulus is necessary.
This offal of yours is just blind ideological ankle biting.
For pity's sake, get your grammar and your facts straight (that means everyone).
gommygommy...
Ya gotta remember, she is writing for Newsweak. It is obligatory that ANYONE writing for Newsweak be totally "In the Tank for Obama"...
Newsweak, as a source for REAL news is not just weak, but actually wrong - this tabloid runs cover-up for Obama, and in the long run, this will hurt the country.
Good grief, wilsan, is that a single note flute they gave you?
Btw, been meaning to ask, since you say you won your election 11/4, why don't you use your full name? Isn't publicity good? Don't you want your constituency to know you as best they can? You know, open government, transparency...
How's that new party building?
