Pres-elect Obama Coming to Hill Monday

obama meeting with pelosi, and harry reid. GOD SAVE US ALL.

“The economy will be the main subject..
……” In this topsy-turvy economy,
I’ve found a great investment oppor-
tunity….commemorative Obama plates
and coins! They should hold their value
well…..at least until the next terror-
ist attack on US soil. But with Hillary
as SOS and Bill in a “caretaker” role
in the NY senate seat, it seems like a
no-brainer to me. If a piker like Bush
could keep us safe for this long since
9/11, there should be NO problem in
the next 4-8 years.

Didn’t Obama say that “there is only one president at a time” ??? or was he just using the phrase when he doesn’t know what to say..??? Like when he is asked about the Gaza conflict…Change you can believe in….!!! LOL

Obama is not overstepping the current president. He is not signing laws. He is doing what any good student does, doing homework.He is doing the right thing. Naysays, go out, take a walk.

Yes, even the footsteps of President-elect Barack Obama resonate so loudly the opposition shudders. He would have made a great western gunfighter as opposed to the squinty-eyed Bush who wished he was. He’d have put one between Bush’s eyes before Bush could get it out of the holster! The West is now, for real, safe in the hands of the man behind the “badge”.

I’d say Obama’s “Western rule” is going to be more like a version of “The Shakiest Gun in the West”.

Politics for Dummies, please read. Obama is PE. It’s his party. The country has been screwed by the Bushman, and it’s gonna take a village to unscrew the bottle. Yes, the f…up will be worst, once he and cheney is gone. Watch. Hold on to your sick personal feelings, while Bush and Cheney robbed us all. You idiots.

Lee—how did he go from Jesus to a “mutt” in one posting.

Talking with Pelosi and Reid about the economy. Yeah, consulting with experts. LOL!

Obama has proven once again that he will not act on important issues!!! No comment on middle-east conflict, but he did comment on his senate replacement. What a total light weight!!!! I regret my vote already……..

When Obama gets done cleaning up the incredible messes Bush has left behind … gee, Thanks, Bush … then he just might have the opportunity to lead us into a better position than the one we’ve been given. But, it doesn’t start until Jan. 20th. It’s amazing how his arrival so he can get his kids into a new school, no small issue for them, causes tremors among the scared.

It remains amazing that the anti-Obama people can’t wait until he is sworn in and has some power before critizing and condemning. They seem to be suffering from “post-election syndrome”…their guy lost!!!!!!!

So why do right winger hate so much on harry and nancy, at least they are trying to lead this country while the repubs are are content ravishing it. By the way, who are the leaders of the repub party???

I predict that the hate between Dems and Repubs will continue untill mutual failure is complete.. The USA will fail under our so called lradership..

Finally, some pragmatism is headed to Washington. The last time we had it was under Reagan. [Obama and Reagan, two peas in a pod]. Two Great thinkers. Great men.

Too bad you are so cynical, CW. Must be tough going through life like that.

I am amused by all the right-wing haters ranting about how there is no “change” under Obama. They, of course, totally miss the point. Change is not bringing in a whole new team of rookies to the Cabinet. Carter did that and his presidency was a disaster. Obama has done a great job of assembling a team of experienced people who can implement his agenda of change. Change is the philosophy articulated by the President. Change is the tone set in working with the Congress. Change is the President’s M.O. Change is moving his legislative agenda forward. Change is not all new faces. Get real, haters.

Obama does nothing …
and this is a surprise? What did he do about the Georgia-Russia problem except suggest talks? He’s already established his pattern. They (NOT WE) elected a President with virtually no administrative experience and are now surprised that he doesn’t know how to administer anything. He’s demonstrated his willingness to blame his subordinates.

Welo: was there some sort of a secret inauguration the public does not know about? You mean Obama is already President and has done nothing! OMG, alert Rush Limbaugh, someone!

The clueless anti-Obamanuts are out in force again. Seems the more they attack, the more popular Obama becomes. His approval ratings are now over 70% (see gallup).

HonestAbe…Are you making excuses for Obama already?

The most unnerving aspects about the punitive liberals, is their intolerance for dissent and their willingness to censor and otherwise suppress their opponents. “If you believe the left is tolerant, open-minded and democratic, you’re in for a rude awakening” by Limbaugh (Please read: Liberal Censorship and Its Roots by David Limbaugh)

Why do they always show pictures of Obama with us having to look up his nose?

Obama, Clinton and Pelosi CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.!!!!LOL

Weather forecast update
Gusty wind and the stink from “Crook County” will come to Washington DC. Expect more frigid financial conditions and hell damage. Hurricane Michelle warning in effect until 2012.

Keep dreaming Eric. I am not republican and those I know who are, are actually glad BO won so they can sit back and watch the pathetic Obamadrama show. He is not in office and already at the center of a scandal. This is quite entertaining.

“a great orator.”
Nah: the guy on the Sham-Wow! commercials puts Him to shame. The ability to read a teleprompter in a wooden monotone, occasionally interjecting “black” pronunciation of random words, isn’t “oratory”.

Just read your pebo’s name may come up in the fraud trial of Norman Hsu.

When Obama DOESN’t want to answer a question he says “there is only one president at a time” why is going to the hill to hold meetings with Pelosi? To get instructions?? OBAMA, CLINTON and PELOSI
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN…!!!!!LOL

The Obamatrons love this pre inauguration period. Not many days left my friends, soon Obama will not be able to hide behind “Only one president at a time”.

Hey Obama..!!!! There is only one president at a time, remember??? Oh yeah, I forgot, you only use that line when you DON”T WANT to answer a question…LOL

CW—we’ve heard your little quote a thousand times. time to go back to Limbaugh for new material.
what part of he is NOT the president do you no understand.
if you want to know about US policy you have to go to Bush until january 20. i wish he were in office sooner too.

Harvey Goldberg—he won convincingly. just come to terms with the fact that your party lost. and part of the reason it lost was all of the hatred it encouraged and fomented at McCain/Palin rallies—the racist chants and references turned so many people off to the hate baiters. no one can make you accept the elections results, but they are undisputed.

Hey Obama..!!!! There is only one president at a time, remember??? Oh yeah, I forgot, you only use that line when you DON”T WANT to answer a question…LOL

================================
Bush and Cheney have been the white house for eight years and they still don’t answer questions.
NOT LOL, that’s pathetic and shameful.

The most unnerving aspects about the punitive liberals, is their intolerance for dissent and their willingness to censor and otherwise suppress their opponents. “If you believe the left is tolerant, open-minded and democratic, you’re in for a rude awakening” by Limbaugh (Please read: Liberal Censorship and Its Roots by David Limbaugh)

Obama is a fraud.

“I think we will someday find that Oprah has been duped by yet another phony story by another phony author.”
It came out recently that Oprah was among those snookered by this year’s fake “concentration-camp” love tale. AND she was snookered into dubbing Barry “The One” — no wonder she put on a ton of weight, and didn’t make a donation to His Ascension.
How many in the punditocracy were snookered by “Barry”‘s bogus books, we’ll never know — even limiting it to His bogus autobiography between the corporate covers. Whether the endlessly-overwriting Ayers or someone else was the ghost-writer, we’ll probably find out in some death-bed confession. (I personally think the “Obama” books were written by a female.)

Omentum is proof “If you’re not a liberal when you’re in your 20s you haven’t got a heart; if you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 40 you haven’t got a brain.” It’s a reasonable summation of youth’s innocence and its desire to save the downrodden from the seeming unfairness of the world, and of adults’ experience and its learned realization that utopia on earth is not an option.

Peace Train—utopia on earth is an option. that we choose not to work toward it is another matter. idealism has its place and so does pragmatism. and i understand you are a realist in this sense. i was a liberal in my twenties and partly into my forties i am even more liberal. i can’t help it.
i forgot who said this, but “Life is a tragedy to those who feel and a comedy to those who think.” life is a tragedy to me. i see nothing funny about genocide, racism, prosperity gospel or any other inhumane creed.

“Like when he is asked about the Gaza conflict…Change you can believe in….!!! LOL”
Well, He did tell AIPAC Israel is “sacrosanct”, and made early barfish remarks archived here saying … if his little daughters were Israel, he wouldn’t want them to be harrassed.
When it comes to one-sided state sadism, shock and awe fireworks with real blood — robo-war against peasant populations without an air force (actual captives, in the case of Gaza), what CAN he say?? Obama’s the little “peace” candidate who decided what he REALLY wants is to escalate the one-sided state sadism against Afghanistan.
Barry LIKES it one-sided, with him waving from the victory float, and spinning tall tales about his DNA. That’s been his ENTIRE political history.

Peace Train: “the left is largely a fraud.” what about the part that isn’t a fraud? i am an admitted liberal but i am because my heart and soul makes me that. it’s not a convenience thing for me.
i am concerned about morality in this nation. i am a social-justice and equality kind of catholic. i think our nation needs to change its way, but it has to come from the left and the right equally.
i think there is so much to agree about that we can forgive each other over our disagreements.

Top three pawns of the liberal left:
pawns and fools who do the left’s radical bidding:
Politicians like Obama: who respond to the hysterical squeals of the young, as do many of the rest of us, pass laws that further damage America’s institutions.
Feminists:
They are far more concerned with leftist ideology than with the rights of women, support an Anita Hill against a conservative justice like Chief Justice Clarence Thomas, but then distance themselves from Paul Jones, because she is accusing a liberal President like Bill Clinton.
Environmentalists:
Another horse for the left to ride on because all the previous ones, called collectivism, communism, and progressivism, have been shot out from under them.

Paige’s journey to OZ ends when she sees that the Wizard is just a scrawy guy behind a curtain named Barack Obama, oops I mean Barry Soetoro.
Because, because,because,because, because
Because of the wonderful things he says…

We’re off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Obama….
We represent the liberal pop kid…The liberal pop kids, the liberal pop kids and we wish to welcome you to Obamaland.

Hate Train—loving the holidays and looking to a good new year, with new ideas, new approaches. i’m not running to Rush for him to tell me my opinions. january 20 will be a historic day. i hope you can enjoy it. your level of hatred must be racial in origin. i don’t know what else could explain it. when Bush “won” in 2000 i thought he was miserably incompetant (and i was correct) but i don’t hate his guts. you have a gut level hatred.

peacetrain–Your list is great. I’ve noticed that Republicans never turn Democrat. It is like watching a person mature, right in front of our eyes. Even Joe Lieberman, Democratic VP nominee in 2000, eventually saw the left for what it is. COMPLETE HYPOCRISY.

wall–What are you talking about? My point was that since Bush will get blamed by the left for years to come; wouldn’t the same logic have to apply to Clinton(9/11, housing market downturn, etc..)? After all, those problems were already in motion when Bush was elected.

peacetrain–Don’t forget the liberals in San Francisco that are screaming bloody murder. The government allowed Section 8 tenants into their communities, crime has skyrocketed, property values have plummeted, and now liberals no longer want the Section 8ers in their communities. HA. These are the same people that forced multicuturalism down middle America throats(Community Reinvestment Act, equal housing opprotunities, social engineering, etc..). More hypocrisy from the left.

Liberals want to say ‘any 13 year old should be allowed to have an abortion without their parent’s consent. Yet, liberals say you should be 22 to possess a weapon. Therefore, you’re old enough to make the incredible permanent and powerful decision to submit your body to an abortion? Yet, you’re not old enough to possess a weapon
Hillary Clinton admitted to having prohibited her 13 year old Chelsea from getting her ears pierced. She also enrolled Chelsea in a school that refused to distribute condoms to minors.

The Union is saved!!! “The One” is coming to capitol hill on Monday. Praise his most precious name. We will now be one again. For that which are about to receive, …God help us.

Paul Wall I am not ashamed of anything.
You should be ashamed for not seeing.
The Kennedy family, you probably don’t know this, has many members who are due family money (due with age, maturity etc.). You probably also don’t know that this money is apparently in a foreign bank – avoiding estate taxes. I say ‘apparently’ because the family refuses to talk about this allegation. It would be so easy to simply deny it if it wasn’t true – right? Isn’t it ironic that the democrats, as the Kennedy’s all are, love to raise taxes and allege that the ‘rich’ get away with too much tax relief here in the US. Meanwhile this family full of ‘rich’ people and democrats protect their money by putting it in foreign banks. If this country is such a protector of the rich and their money, why do the Kennedy’s putting their money in foreign banks?
Michael Moore says nothing but bad things about oil and defense contractors; calling them ‘war profiteers.’ He also claims to have no stock portfolio, yet he owns shares in Halliburton, Honeywell and Boeing and does his post production work in Canada – where he doesn’t have to pay union wages like in the United States. I’m sure his movie was 100% true.

Is it considered hypocritical when you’re making millions upon millions to take your clothes off in a movie here in the US and then go to England and call Americans stupid and stuck-up?
Well, not if you’re Gwyneth Paltrow. She decided to spit on the American Flag with a verbal tirade saying (among other things): “The British are much more intelligent and civilised than the Americans. I love the English lifestyle. I’m not as capitalistic as America.”
It’s just amazing how good the good’ol USA is when you need to make a million, but England is better once you’ve gotten your paycheck.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. loves to go on talk shows (Hannity & Colmes ~ late 2005) and talk all about how bad it is for you and me to buy and/or drive an SUV. Yet, he travels around on a private jet. His issue with the SUV is the gas used and its alleged injury to the ‘ozone layer’ while he travels in a private jet that guzzles at a level no SUV can come close to.

Ethel Mertz—”dna”? what are you saying?

we need a translator for Limbaugh’s and O’Reilly’s terminology. where i live i can’t pick up AM radio to hear these geniuses and how they will save america with their hateful, venomous, racist words of wisdom.

RMBarley
obama is no Lincoln. Lincoln was not a socialist. -You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich. * You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong. * You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift. * You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.
* You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred.
* You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men’s initiative and independence. * You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves. Do you recognize the author?
It was Abraham Lincoln. Very, very wise words, written years ago and yet some still don’t get it…
“The greedy wealthy can not sustain the USA” I’m no Lincoln but I’m sure Lincoln is rolling over in is grave!

We all qualify for Social Security, so I don’t think you should feel obligated to send it back but I will.
It is noble if you don’t need it and send it back, President Reagan did that. Funny how the only politicians that have sent it back are Republicans.

“It is noble if you don’t need [Social Security] and send it back, President Reagan did that.”
Believe it or not, when Social Security was in the making, it was widely expected that since FDR et al. designed it for those with no other means of “retirement”, those who didn’t “need” it, would NEVER, out of decency, even consider collecting it.
Hahaha. But that is TRUE.

Amen to that Cash. If Obama went to Lincoln’s grave it would be like that final scene in “CARRIE” with the hand coming out to strangle him.

yes lincoln is rolling over in his grave at what bush and cheney and mccain and the other have done with his republican party. as far as obama he is not perfect but he is much much much then any republicans since lincoln.

Ethel Mertz—so you are literally talking about DNA. Anderson Cooper had a mother-figure so he has good DNA? i’m sorry. i’m just trying to understand. if you would be patient and kind enough to help me understand. because i understand DNA (i am assuming, perhaps wrongly that you are talking about the biological material) and i understand mother-figures (again i am assuming you mean that in sociological sense.
Thanks.

So fascinating you invoke the Wizard of Oz in an attempt to disparage any Obama supporter.
Considering the movie is about overcoming obstacles, I would say you picked the perfect choice as I and 69.5 million people voted for Obama including more than 60 Nobel Laureates.
When the Wizard says, “Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West,” Dorothy and crew are clearly overwhelmed and uncertain whether this is even possible. Yet they set out on their journey anyway. Against seemingly insurmountable odds.
It is possible and it can be done, but it takes persistence. It also involves facing fear and overcoming it. The message of the movie.
Hate is poisonous and it appears you have overdosed.
Good luck to you!

Paige—thank you so much for the Robert Kennedy quote. i just read it. it puts things in perspective. i will try to change my tone and try to be more tolerant of those i disagree with.
i know President-Elect Obama must be aware of those words and lives by them.
peace in 2009!
thanks again Paige.
Paul

Paul-
I pulled that quote from the long speech, not for you, but as a sad reminder of how many live in the past which is so evident by the lack of tolerance and extreme prejudices by so many people. The likes of Hannity and Rush are jet fuel to intolerance.
I just thought you would be interested in the speech. The entire thing is worthy of a read by all.
Bobby gave it at The Cleveland City Club and the text is available on line.

“Instead of trying to do something constructive, they spend their careers trying to tear down good men and women whose shoes they are not fit to lick”… that was the premise of the Obama Campaign for the past two years against GW Bush ! We will see how BHO and Pelosi can do something constructive without basing their decisions on what Bush has already done.

Why don’t all of you people who are expending your good energy banging away on the keys to post rhetoric and bs, instead turn your energies toward e-mailing President Obama, & Congressmen & Senators alike, and urge support for the “Fair Tax Act of 2007″. Getting this legislation passed would make the most profound change in this nation’s history as to how it operates. If you would like to keep more of what you earn and have fair taxation for everyone, including those who don’t pay into the tax system now, support the Fair Tax Act. If you are a senior and would like keep what you built up for your retirement, support the Fair Tax Act. If you would like to have the revenue to rebuild our infrastructure and invest in new technologies, support the Fair Tax Act. If you would like to see companies and corporations returning to America instead of leaving, support the Fair Tax Act. Best of all, if you would like to get rid of IRS once and for all, support The Fair Tax Act.

“When the Wizard says, “Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West,” Dorothy and crew are clearly overwhelmed and uncertain whether this is even possible. Yet they set out on their journey anyway. Against seemingly insurmountable odds.

The US has come a long way? This country has always been divided and remains so in 2009.
Settler vs Indian, North vs South, White vs Black, Athiest vs Christian
Young vs Old, Dem vs Rep, Good vs Evil
While the memories were fresh after the 911 attacks and fear was the dominant emotion across the US, I remember Bush’s address to the Nation. He addressed the Terrorist situation around the world and ask for the support of Congress and US citizens. He spoke to the long term battle against terrorism and the changes it would bring to our lives. While the new feeling of fear and anger was upon our nation, the country was in unisome – terror struck and it wasn’t only in the news, but in our daily lives – it was time to show the world the US was not going to sit back and play the game by their rules. Bush elaborated on the need for war (I believe there were WMD as did Colen Powell when he urged the UN to support the cause). 911 attacks were being planned during 1996 (Clinton Administration) – This attack was in play prior to Bush, however he still gets credit for the aftermath. 911 changed the world and it was carried out by those who hate US Foreign Policy.
I didn’t vote for Bush – but I stood behind him because the US majority did. I didn’t vote for Obama – but I will stand behind him because the majority did. Just like Obama said that he is not the Messiah and cannot cure the world, G W Bush is not the Anti-Christ and did not destroy the world. Some say the US will destroy itself within it’s own boundaries – division and hate will be the Generals in this war.

Didn’t say he wasn’t a citizen, but am noting that our Supreme Court is going to make him prove it. HA.

that’s awesome.
then i guess i wonder why the supreme court still picked up the case?

I’ve frequently have wondered how a resident of Hawaii finds his way into the political machine in Illinois.
