Obama's White House Transition

We need to get a rain on the Wall Street gang and the bankers, first off!
Credit Default Swaps will end up costing us soooooooooo much more that the subprime market fiasco ever did!
Its nothing more than Naked Gambling with the tax payers hard earned cash!
Make them pay for their dirty deeds!

Sadly no I am not a hunter, not because I don't want to be, however I do do competitive target shooting, and for those of you that want to laugh at this it is in fact an Olympic sport. I have seen Obama's voting record (or lack there of) in favor of my second amendment rights and his other positions, and it scares the living crap out of me what this man could possibly try to do.

I'm an American, I'll keep an open mind like we're supposed to do, I'm allowed to have my fears and my beliefs to "cling" to, but don't question what one person said and make it seem like he's doing something unlawful, would I have willingly posted something like that on the internet... most likely not however he has done nothing wrong.

I would not criticize something someone else says so quickly before I know who that person is, its very easy to hide behind a computer screen and lob attacks to someone (or group of people). As far the "boosting my self esteem" I can't even legally own a handgun, however it was top on my list to get done once I am of age. Its not a matter of esteem its a matter of self defense.

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

It's a new day! A new president, a new direction. A cool breeze has cleared away the static stink in the White House. There will be laughter of children there, smiles, serious discussions, and optimism in the golden rooms of Washington's home. The world is happy today. The old wounds are beginning to heal. Patients are leaving their sickbeds, kings throw open their sashes, Scrooge has sent the boy for the goose, the sun is rising, the sun is rising.

Moderation...

Oonogil was simply expressing a very standard republican belief - all democrats want to take away his right to purchase firearms. The same sentiment went around when Clinton was elected, so it isn't new or threatening.

We need to understand each other, and start learning to communicate without knee-jerk reactions and unfounded acquisitions. Obama brings with him the promise of a united country, but it won’t happen as long as the right wing remains terrified of us. We need to take the high ground, and talk them all down off the tower. Now is not the time to “shove things down their throats” as one poster commented, the end result of that will be another flip flop like the Clinton/Bush transition.

In the end, we are all going to have to live together. I am a militant socialist, and I believe that government should work for everyone. Except Wal-Mart. And Exxon. And – well, that’s another argument.

Accusations even - stupid spell checker!

Emanuel as Chief of Staff? Here we go!! This politician is so one race focused he is a laugh. He is also a political robot. During interviews I have never seen him express common sense, believable answers - all party politics!!! At least Biden uses common sense to his positions. NOT EMANUEL. A VERY POOR CHOICE!!!! - BOB17

Oonogil deserves a trace?? You're being ignorant. He's saying he's buying guns while he still can before Obama pushes on national gun bans as he did in IL.

Excuse me, but doesn't someone want to investigate what Rahm Emanuel was doing to prevent the problems when he was sitting on the boards of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Is this selection of someone used to payoffs and pocket lining on the taxpayer dole something we can expect from Obama. The chief of staff sets the standard for the rest. This is an abysmal start. He is heading directly down the tunnel of corruption and cronyism that he and Emanuel are so skilled at.

Has anyone asked him the question yet,"What do you hope to accomplish in your first 100 days in office?" I haven't heard any news agency ask that yet.

MNM, litte bitter, are you?

George: Maybe he will put you in his cabinet. After all you were with Clinton and from the very beginning of this campaign - you were like a little kid when you mentioned Obama's name = I really believe you should get out of the News Business and go back to politics - You simply cannot be unbiased - and that is okay - just keep it to yourself. Some of us just don't appreciate it - whether we voted Obama or not.

The people have spoken and what the want is a political hack with corrupt Chicago connections as President.

Everyone had better brace themselves for some rocky years. Notice that the market has dropped substantially on the news of who the prez elect is. The market knows that the economy is not going to improve anytime soon because, although the news media didn't tell you: This jerk can't fix an economy because he was a big part of making the Fannie/Freddie problem. The only thing Obama's interested in now is finding jobs for his fellow-corrupt Chicago pals like Emanuel (google him for a real treat). It's the Chicago way.

So brace yourselves.

The good news:

1.At least there will be no one to blame except dem.s when the bottom drops out.

2.Affirmative action program can now be discontinued. They're obviously not needed any more.

First, George, you're the only high level Democrat I trust (as I do Sam Nun). Keep up the good work. You belong on Fox, but it's good to see some good sense on the Big Three. Just be careful how much you dig on Democrats or your bosses might hit you with a newspaper again.
Now, as to oognil. I wish I could buy more guns. If the American "Reign of Terror" begins, I want to be able to shoot my way clear to the Plains (or Alaska), and hunt and gather for food; I'm not sure that turning this country into France is going to do much for this poor Republican/Christian other than get me persecuted..
Well, all we can do is wait and see....and Hope Biden never becomes President....I'd take a bullet for Obama to keep Biden (or Hillary) from getting close to that office.

Well, off to a Brave New World. (once again,..how did a racist country elect Obama?)

why oh whya re they digging up the rose garden and putting in a watermelon patch? That is just wrong. What happened to tradition? this just in abc news

Congratulations to all US Citizen who make this change happend for first time. I am so happy that all Latinos put all their thoughts together and support this candidate. Latinos vote were very important in Florida, without our support that it could not happend here in Florida state.

Felicidades!!

THIS IS CAMELOT! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS CAMELOT! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing oognil is guilty of is stupidity. The NRA has brainwashed him into thinking that a criminal background check is "trying to take his guns away".

Rahm Emmanuel is responsible for finding centrist democrats to run in 2006 and gain control of the House and Senate. He's not simply a partisan hack, but a man that sees the issues that Americans are concerned with and what issues need to be handled.

You better get guns soon, Obama doesn't think the 2nd Amendment should be around...of course, he doesn't like the bill of rights in general.

Obama has dropped the gun issue to respect the 2nd amendment.

Most Dems now realize you have to pick your battles so to speak, we have more important things to worry about anyway.

And now the Repubs have to finally start focusing on the country instead of abortion and gay marriage, both issues that WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

You will never "vote out" abortion, but you can improve jobs, education, healthcare all 3 which will help lower abortions.

More jobs means people feel more secure, less likely to abort.

Lower cost healthcare, more accessible healthcare, means less chance of abortion due to expensive medical costs. Knowing your child would be safe means a lot.

Education helps too, smarter kids have more hope, become better adults in general and smarter people make better choices. All the time? No. But it is a start.

Abortion will forever exist, why not focus on curbing the amount of them.

It is funny how people believe everything that is told to them or what they read. RESEARCH what you read and hear. Children are not borned with hate, they are taught by those with hate in their own hearts. Did the Whites forget this land did not belong to them in the beginning.Ask any Indian you see who was here first. Please grow up and read what you are all saying. Most of you sound like a bunch of little high school kids who live in some backwards country. STOP IT!! LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. JOIN TOGETHER NOW!!

In the famous words of Rodney King,"Can we all just get along and count our blessing", that we findly get to see Mr.Bush leave office.

Hey, Oonogil. That could be interpreted as a threat upon the Pres-elect's life. Hope you don't get a visit from S.S.

Amazing how much hatred there is out there. This is a time to come together, a time to look back on the last eight years and celebrate a new beginning. I beleive we can do better than we have in this country. It's time to rebuild foreign relationships, rebuild our economy, bring back family values and bring back jobs. It's the reason so many want to come here, it's what we are all about. Enough anger and finger pointing... we have a mess to clean up! Let's get to work!!!
