Obama at the Oval

drjohn, I totally agree. OBAMA RULES!! Paint the White House in the manner favored by George Clinton, PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

The George and Laura are a lot classier than Bill and Hillary were durning the 2000-2001 transition.
The “O”‘s will be left on the keyboards and the Bush family won’t walk off with the White House China.

Yep.. that’s the attitude that brings us closer to working together.

Clint – kinda like the dems did?
Obama is the president elect. We’ll deal with it. I think it very ironic that we are hearing all this “let’s work together”, etc crap coming from you all now. Where the hell has it been for the last 7 years? Oh wait – it didn’t fit YOUR agenda so it was evil and there was no reason to compromise.

Doris: You’re missing Clint’s point: The Democrats are in charge. With the Presidency and both houses of Congress, we don’t actually give a rat’s patoot whether you come along. Clint’s inviting you as a gratuitous gesture of good will. The point is, if you don’t join us you’ll be run over and left in the dustbin of history with the current President. So come on board; if you like intelligence, inquisitiveness, insightfulness, willingness to listen to others, etc., you just might like what Obama has to offer.

Obama”s not going to govern. He’s going to RULE!
“With the daunting challenges we face it’s important that Pres. Elect Obama be prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one.”
- Valerie Jarrett
Obama’s going to RULE us.

Oh please. We all know what she means. If you don’t then go back to school.

JWench- where was that attitude during the last 7 years?

Decisions on executive orders not made? I think this is a reference to the Bush executive orders which have been speedily created, most having to do with further deregulation on the economy and environment. I was under the impression that Obama was seeking to nip those executive orders in the bud.

Doris: You can pretend you don’t understand what we are saying, but what we are saying could not be more clear:
We are entitled to disagree with PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA all we like, and I’m sure that I will on any number of issues, myself. But the fact remains that the electorate has unequivocally signalled that it wants to close the book on the Bush Presidency. Either evolve (language intentional) from certain of the retrograde positions of the Bush Administration (some of which I assume you share), or get left behind.
If that is not clear enough, let me explain further. Bush’s position on stem cell research was a relic the day it was issued. Obama will take a position that is far more enlightened. You can cling to (language intentional) the Bush position and be left to the dustbin along with anti-misceginationists, for example, or you can walk into the light. Either way, this policy is going to change and we can all be thankful for that. Come join us.

JWench – there were a lot of people against Iraq – that was/is their right.
Strangely enough – there ARE people who are NOT worse off today than they were 7 years ago. EVERYONE isn’t having to file for foreclosure, etc.
Do I believe our economy is doing well? No. Do I believe it started with President Bush? No. Do I believe for a minute that ANY of you will give ANY blame to your beloved former President Clinton? No. Why? Because you are so filled with hate for President Bush that EVERYTHING is his fault. The name calling has been horrible. And now we are supposed to all just be nice and get along. Forget any differences and go along with president-elect Obama. It doesn’t work that way. There ARE differences that aren’t correctable just because the election is over.
Just because the dems say so

DK – your “language intented” insults just show you for what you are. I’m done w/you. I don’t take well to insulted – veiled or blatant – from you or anyone else. People like you are the problem, not the solution

It was not one Party’s fault. It was both( the economy). If I remember correctly both sides did quite a bit of name calling.
Do you think Sarah Palin was right for saying Obama palled around with terrorists and some of the other hateful thing said? Do you think the robocalls from the GOP calling Obama a baby killer was the right thing to do? I certainly don’t think it was.
I don’t think anyone can say Bush’s Presidency was a model Presidency. Two wars, an economy on the brink of collapse, hatred around the world for this country. (The economy is not all Bush’s fault, but he helped contribute to it).
When a President tramples the Constitution like he has, invades a country that was not a threat to us, why would anybody not dislike the guy?

Domestic drilling for oil and natural gas was the second one.

Yes both sides did a great deal of name calling. And BOTH parties are partly responsible for the financial problems that our country is facing.
I do NOT believe President Bush is the evil man that some do. I believe he made poor choices. I believe he made them with the best of intentions. To say he went to war with Iraq to “avenge” his father is ridiculous (and I’m not saying you said that – I’ve just seen it posted here!) 9/11 caused a domino reaction. To say President Bush doesn’t love our country is as insane as saying President-elect Obama is a muslim, etc. It’s just crazy.
II don’t think ANY of the negative campaigning was “right”. I am NOT a fan of it PERIOD. There is a right way and a wrong way. I don’t care if it was Sarah Palin or Barack Obama.

Doris,
Your posts are right on!! Keep up the good work, maybe you will get through to some of those dems.

What a dark place America has entered during the time of the current administration.
As much as the current reality looks very daunting – an economy in complete crisis, government deficits at all-time records, massive unemployment, jobs outsourced to foreign countries . . . and on and on and on . . . there is always hope if we have a clear vision of a more positive future.
One thing seems certain, the greedy consumerism that is consuming the planet is going to have to change. People are going to have to find satisfaction in something other than a wasteful consumer society.
As we’ve known for a while, it’s time to look to our own consuming habits and start to behave like angels instead of pigs.

I want to see who he is going to appoint as secretary of state. He should offer it Hillary even if she turns it down, but he will probably reward Bill Richardson who went against the will of his constituents in New Mexico and endorsed Obama. I am gonna try and keep an open mind after all I ended up voting for him after some long agonizing minutes in the voting booth.

I think Hillary would be the biggest asset to him in the Senate. Although I would like her to be part of his administration.

“First-Lady-In-Waiting” is very offensive.
Cut it out.

“The George and Laura are a lot classier than Bill and Hillary were durning the 2000-2001 transition.

The first lie of the Bush administration lives on thru deluded right wingers!
GAO disproved the White House vandalism BS over 6 years ago.
But the lie lives on in the right wing mind!

President Bush had over 90% of the American people supporting him for the Iraq war. He was the most popular president at the time. He had much more support than Obama now, or any other president in US history.

One executive order Obama plans to sign provides government tax dollars to be used of for abortions in other countries. As a catholic who strongly opposes abortion I am outraged and I hope other Catholics are as well!
