West Coast Messenger - Notice the quotes. I was responding factually to a previous post. Gee, that was a rather quixotic interpretation . . .

We need a LEADER who can bring people together who might otherwise fight with one another.If Obama is going to make an impact on the rest of the world( some who really hate us) it is in Americans best interests that he get American politicians united under one banner.This is the beginning of the restructuring of washington.Obama is a student of great presidents.He knows it is smart to be inclusive.As Americans it should be clear to all of it's inhabitants that " United We Stand, Divided We Fall." I applaud his efforts and like McCain want to do all I can to contribute to the success of my new president.

You are not going to hear anymore about Sarah Palin unless you move to Alaska. She has no any other title more than being a Gov.

Barack Obama, December 27, 2007: "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

jake, will you ever raise the comment and ask Obama where is the change he has been talking about? specially with Clinton...my goodness! all along, he has been telling us that we "need a change we can believe in".

I voted for John McCain and now I'm disgusted he would meet with a man he basically had us believe was a terrorist, a communist, someone who hates america . . . McCain is a hypocrite.

Look what change does to Yahoo:

When Yang took over, he was widely viewed as the right choice to replace Terry Semel, the previous CEO from Hollywood who spent six years molding Yahoo into a media company. Yang promised change in the first 100 days as CEO, declaring there would be “no sacred cows.” But 100 days came and went. So did the next 400 days. Frustrated investors have seen Yahoo’s shares drop 62% in value since Yang took over in mid-June 2007. While Semel never had Yang’s geek cred, he did manage to drive Yahoo’s stock price up to an eight-year peak of $43.21 in January 2006. Yahoo’s shares closed at $10.63 on Monday.

Hey Kat,
It's really not up to you anymore is it? Fact is we voted Obama's team into power. No more voting for four years, they are in power for those four years. They can pick Hillary if they want to. Nothing you can do about it. Nothing at all. Here you were all pumped up about Obama, he could walk on water two weeks ago, and now you are feeling powerless. Do you know what that feeling is really, though. That's feels exactly like POLITICS AS USUAL. It's Obama's turn to get paid! By the way, I like Hillary and I voted for Obama, so there! Has nothing to do with it, I voted with my eyes wide open.

I don't think that either man is the better man until they are put into a position were they have to take care of America.

I just wish more people would give him a chance before they just write him off. I think this country could head in the right direction, as long as we stood behind our new president, whether we voted for him or not.

We gave George Bush 8yrs, so why can't we give Barack at least 4?

I am not happy that Obama win I think the better man was Mc Cain This country has seen better days

"I'm almost as sick of the Clinton Secy. State speculation as I was of Sarah Palin. When there is some news here I will come back."

It's not speculation anymore. It's a matter of Bill Clinton being vetted for conflict of interest with his Global Initiative.

Why on earth would Obama ask McCain anything at all? As I recall Obama repeatedly ridiculed McCain as being "out of touch" (code words for old person). If McCain was out of touch before November 4th, how could he possibly be in touch just two weeks later? Seems like Obama's got some explaining to do.
================
Yes Grey Matter, I voted for Obama. That's why I take great latitude in criticizing him.

WITH THE SHAPE OUR COUNTRY IS IN THEY ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER-----PARTISON BS NEEDS TO END HERE AND NOW.
DONT THINK MOST ON HERE REALIZE THE GRAVITY OF OUR SITUATION.

Posted by: rodney | Nov 17, 2008 8:30:52 PM

I like all these blogs they have been having for Clinton and McCain, it keeps Palin off of here!!

I think if Hillary takes SoS and McCain works as a uniter in the Senate, we might get something accomplished once and for all. These are difficult times and it's going to take everything and everybody we have to pull us out of it.

Posted by: Jwench | Nov 17, 2008 8:23:41 PM

All those who hate Mc Cain now now eat dirt. Politics is smarmy and makes for strange bedfellows.


Posted by: I am so I can! | Nov 17, 2008 8:02:18 PM

Hillary will accept Secretary of State...all those who hated her can now eat crow.
