Obama's White House Transition

WooHooooooooo!!!! President Barack H. Obama. It has a regal sound. All you conservatives say it with me, Welcome Mr. President! Ahhhh its so rewarding. McLame and Caribou Barbie can now disappear into the woodwork. Pshhh, like they even had a chance at winning. This country will finally have good leadership, and a level head at the helm. And lets just get rid of that name "White House", lets just call it "The House", and Obamas in the House!! Thank you America for making the correct choice at giving us respect worldwide!

President elect Obama is already stimulating some segments of the economy. The .45 ACP I ordered last week should be here today or tomorrow. I’ll have a new AR-15 next week. Thirty round clips, ammo and a .45/.410 revolver are next.

Obama - you have been given a mandate by the American people. More than Bush got in 2000 or 2004. Push the country towards more parity between the middle and upper classes. Get the troops out as quickly from Iraq as possible. Don't screw around with the Republicans. They had their 8 years and they've totally screwed this country up. Now it is time to shove stuff down their throats. Fight the big interests and insurance and oil companies. Force healthcare insurance companies to drop their "pre-existing" clause. Make them tow the line to their insured and stop denying claims. Don't allow any more privatization of Medicare and medicaid and Social Security. Force companies to allow unions. Hire somebody strong in the SEC and let's get some jobs back here in America. The time is NOW!

I think Oonogil needs his IP address trace, which is easily done, and a visit from the secret service.

Its one of the greatest moments of American History, finaly Americans woke up. McCaim and your wife go take care of your uncountable number of houses.

I'm sure more Indians will come to staff cash starved Wall Street .. enjoy the same old tired monetary policy folks.. presidents do not make monetary policy .. the House does .. and that has been democratically controlled for two eyars now.. whatever happened to the "First 100 days" promise?

FIRE THEM ALL!
BBBBWWWWAAAHHHHAAAA

Apropos these comments, wonderful to know everyone listened to Obama's speech about working together . . .

Jo you are right on, ABC moderator?

Oonogil: "President elect Obama is already stimulating some segments of the economy. The .45 ACP I ordered last week should be here today or tomorrow. I’ll have a new AR-15 next week. Thirty round clips, ammo and a .45/.410 revolver are next."

The loftiness of this conversation just staggers me. Oonogil, the best act of kindness you could do for us all is to
accidetnally shoot yourself and accept your Darwin Award.

We have fought WHITE racism, and are winning (Barack can't win with just 13% of the american black population, so non-blacks must have supported him), now we have to fight BLACK RACIST like Oprah, FarraKKKan, rev Wright, Michelle “I hate Whiteys” Obama, Spike Lee, Malcom X, Black Panthers, black comedians, hip-hope and rap non-artists like Ludacris, etc.
I just hope Barack doesn't have the same fate as the mother of Martin Luther King Jr, who was killed by a black racist group (which ironically was a black muslim like Malcolm X, who hated whites).
Best of luck Barack, the first black racist president.

We still have the Second Amendment you two.

I'm buying guns too. Do you want to check mine?

Buy them why we still can.

Oh and we also still have the First Amendment too. Remember?

ABC you better report OONOGIL TO THE FBI TRACE HIS IP ADDRESS!

Now we find out if Oprah's Parrot
can do more than just talk.

Change? Cheney bought one, now Oprah's
bought one, so what, pray tell, has
changed? We just traded an unqualified,
money grubbing Euro-American for an
unqualified, money grubbing African-
American. I seriously doubt the change
will be much more than skin deep.

We never did find out if Cheney's Parrot
could do more than just talk.

I have witnessed many revolutions in my life time but last night American people had succeeded their greatest revolution by peace through exercising of their most sacred votes! Congratulation President Elect Barack Obama! This is the end of the eight years of tyranny and misrule, but the beginning of the restoration of the prosperity & glory of our country; as well as peace and harmony of our world where our existence relies

it is a good day for all americans. its just a shame no one can see that. this country has been in dire need of a change. we have dealt with a president who has no intentions to bringing our troops home, who put this country into debt, who is raising taxes on middle and lower class, and who just simply don't care. we have a president-elect who wants to bring our troops home, have affordable college tuition, have affordable healthcare, have people to keep their homes, and do for this country want the bush administration couldn't, and care about the american people. i am reading the comments and the one comment disturb me is from oonogil. yes we have the first amendment and the second amendment, but it works for everyone, so while you are out there waiting for your .45, someones out there waiting for theirs.

I TOTALLY AGREE THAT Oonogil should be investigated for making that very obvious sick remark about firearms and what it implies. It isn't funny and has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it's just a violent disgraceful comment, and God willing, it is just a stupid comment!

Hi George,
Just wanted to know as a former Clinton staff member if you think that Barack Obama will use H. Clinton knowledge on his team or as part of the next US Gov.

Thanks from England

Oonogil deserves a trace and repercussions for such a tacky comment.

The initial comments are most illuminating. One of the most liberal members of the Senate has just been elected President running as a centrist, defeating another member of the Senate who was a centrist running as a conservative. The United States has just seen what happens when a president governs from one extreme of the political spectrum. It is obvious that the heart of the Democratic Party is liberal, just as it's obvious that the heart of the Republican Party is conservative. All of the moderates have been weaned from both parties, by the parties - problem being that the American electorate is moderate. The Democratic-Republican Party of Jefferson and Madison would not recognize the modern party that the helped found; nor would Lincoln recognize the GOP of today. Both political parties have swapped platforms and positions over the centuries in favor of expediency, that neither resembles their founding principals and tenants. The liberal platforms of the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader are in extreme conflict with many of the positions taken with our new President-Elect. I do wish Mr. Obama well and sincerely hope that he does not follow in the footsteps of either Jimmy Carter or George W Bush.

I have to admit that I consider Jesse Jackson a caricature of a leader these days and when I saw Jesse crying yesterday I joked about it and then remembered that he at Martin Luther King, Jr.'s side when he was killed and now he is able to see Obama win. Jesse made it to the mountain top.

Greetings from Canada

First of all I would like to congratulate the people of the United States for electing an outstanding person of character and integrety to the " People's House"! As a Canadian I hope that our country will follow and eventually have men like President Barok Obaham and Vice President Bidon elected to our Parliament. We could use more men and women in our governments like this new leadership-unfortunately many politicians forget that they are elected by the people for the people and once in office they change that to elected by the people for myself. Again as a Canadian I am happy to see the hope that this new leadership has brought to the USA and look forward to a positive future for everyone. Congratulations President Obama and Vice President Bidon

Oognil did nothing wrong with purchasing said firearms. There is something in place called the constitution, and there are things called Amendments which make it legal to do things.

He is exercising his 2nd Amendment rights, which is the right to keep and bear arms. Frankly himself and a lot of pro 2nd Amendment-ers will probably be "stocking" up if you will so we don't lose one our basic constitutional rights.

Like I said, he has legally done nothing wrong, too bad you guys fail to see that with your liberal media and thinking guns are the worst thing that could ever happen.

i find it interesting that nobody in the campaign talked of gun control...so why do you, JW and this alien Oonogil feel so threatened? you obviously get your joys with shooting guns (and i presume you aren't hunters) and it probably boosts your selfesteem to a level that you yourself cannot feel unless equipped with a firearm...

that's ok.
most of us out here do not feel that type of desperation or helplessness.
so keep your guns, enjoy them (of course not at the expense of others but just your own expense) and hopefully
you can just fondle them and never use them towards others.

now get a life.

I think the Secret Service needs to check out JJ's comments? Like big time?

There is a legitimate position for all sides here. Remember that both sides are "usually" right to some degree, depending on your ability to think. All of the comments here have merit. What we need is a President that knows we are all in this together, we all need an income and a home, and a save environment for our children. Liberals are OK, Conservatives are OK, and we must understand that even abortions are OK, as well as guns, tax raising or lowering (or a new tax system), better health care system, more politicians that actually do their jobs, etc. etc.
Yes, this President will need us all to get this country moving in the direction he was elected to move it in!
Make no mistake; President Obama was elected to make changes and change directions and trends. He will need Republicans to be Americans first in order to do this. The US will need to make sure Congressional Republicans are up to the task of keeping the few rotten members of the "system" from continuing the corruption and partisanship that has all but killed our respect for our elected fellow citizens!
And please keep religion out of politics. It is fine for a religious person to be equal to any other, however, as soon as the group or religious leaders get involved, we find ourselves (and history will back me up) hopelessly divided. So if you belong to a religion please represent your own thoughts and faith, not those of the organization. This is also what is needed from Political Parties, we are not gangs taking over turf to control. We all live in America, a state, a town, a neighborhood, etc. We are Free to make associations and local laws, but we need to keep it that way.

I hope President Obama is up to the job!
