Obama's National Security Team to be Named Monday

MikeMo1947 -- Thanks for the clarification. I was not aware that the title had been sanctioned for use before the EC meets.

lavampire -- "CalifGirlInMaine -- can you elaborate with regard to your claim about the electoral college -- what are you proposing? That the EC will not vote for him?"

I'm not proposing anything. I do have in mind that Obama is most likely not a "natural-born" citizen -- regardless of where he was born, the fact that he had dual citizenship at birth (which he has admitted) makes him not a natural-born citizen, under accepted common-law definitions and the intent of the Framers of the Constitution. To be fair, John McCain may also not be natural-born citizen, depending on Panamanian law (if Panama considered him a citizen because he was born on their soil).

If the Constitution still means anything, if the Supreme Court justices uphold it as they are sworn to do and do not cave, if the Electors do their job properly and do not vote for one who is not qualified under the Constitution, etc., Obama will not be elected by the EC on Dec. 15. What are the odds that he won't be elected? I wouldn't bet on it. What I would like to know is, why a "constitutional law scholar" like Obama (which he is reputed to be) ran for an office for which he is not qualified?

fred,

what if?

what if mccain were going to be president with all of your what if?

the world would come to an end.

what if:
geo bush were in for four more years.

what if;
sarah palin were a heartbeat away from the presidency?

what if we arm chair psy. just sit back and let obama do his job, leave the ticks to the medical doctors around him.

we should have been more vigilant with bush in office, rather than just roll over and let him and co. put us in a trance.
and now after all the damage we are all waking up and saying the new guy is not fit, because he has a "tick?"

we have survived geo Wobbly bush

we will make it with tick obama.

fred,"the presidency is no place for someone who is wobbly.

well we and he george WWWobbly bush
is still here, (barely, but present)

you should look at david letterman top ten bush moments, and tell me if that is not physical strain.

also, to look at someone, and see one of their eyes jumping, call it a tick,
and then jump to say they are unfit to serve, after geo. Wobbly bush.
is really stretching it a bit.

i mean if you were watching him on tv, did you hear anything that he said?

lets give the man a chance, beside right now thanks to geo Wobbly bush
obama is really being looked to and having to do two jobs right now, be president, and get ready to be president.

geo Wobbly bush has already checked out.

when obama starts sounding like he is going to make some decisions like bush has made, then i will call him stressed and crazy, until then,.... I mean who know, maybe he has had that "tick" all along, and you just didn't look close enough before.

sugar, Bush isn't the one showing physical signs of stress such as developing facial ticks. Bush has many faults to be sure, however, the fact that Obama has already shown signs of poor stress management is very concerning. The inability to manage stress can lead to depression and other negative psychological manifestations. All of this before Obama even takes office. What happens if we are hit by the terrorist again? What if Russia attacks the Ukraine or attempts to take over Georgia again? What if Iran explodes a nuclear bomb over Israel or Israel attacks Iran before they can? What is the economic crisis worsens and there is a steady outcry by the American people? Can Obama deal with these and other challenges effectively or will he crumble under the pressure? The facial tick is a clear indication that there is reason to doubt that Mr. Obama is up to the task. If the man cannot manage stress before he even assumes the duties of the office I think we as Americans are rightfully concerned. The presidency is not a place for someone who is wobbly. We should be vigilant.

fred,

if george bush has not done anything mental yet, after all that he has done,
i don't think we have to worry about obama' mental state.

it should be bush people are watching.

I am less concerned with who Obama picks for his team than I am about the soon to be president. During the Barbara Walters interview it is clear that Obama has developed a facial tick (under right eye). This is concerning if our president to be is already showing signs that stress is having such a big impact on him BEFORE he takes on the responsibilities of the office. The press did the American people a big disservice by not investigating Obama mental makeup during the campaign basically giving him a pass on everything - now we as Americans can only hope that it does not lead to a presidesnt that is incapacitated by the stress of the job.

Hey Republicans, you lost. Get over it. We're tired of hearing you whine. Keep it up you'll get another whoopin' come 2010.

I hate to break the news to the genius bloggers. The war won't end anytime soon. Obama is the twin brother of George, seperated at birth.

Secretary of Defense = war. Secretary of the Tresury = Wall Street/Federal Reserve. The philosophy of Obama is the same as Bush at the core.

Take a peek at the money supply since september. First 200 years is a nice incline slope. Sept to now, straight up. More money printed then in the first 200 years. The new Treasury secretary is a supporter of the system that got us here. Read about hyper-inflation in pre-WWII Germany. Wait til they get the banks lending again.

The federal reserve must go. It is a system made up of a few private banks to benefit a few ultra-wealthy people at the demise of the middle and lower class.

Obama's choice supports this system. You can dream about change, we all do....the only thing that will change is a pretty white dress on a stinkin' corpse.

I wish I could say Obama would fix the system. His choice has proven otherwise. Buy food you'll need it in the next 3 years. The market will probably rise due to the influx of worthless paper money...then collaspe like a stone in a pond. Embrace financially made slavery.

Obama WAS elected to be our next President by a substantial majority, lotzahair... and with well-respected Republicans like John Warner praising his choices to head-up national security, I think it's about time for folks like you to give it a rest.

UNRESOLVED BUSINESS FOR O-BOMB-A AND THE DNC
PROVE CITIZENSHIP - SINCE YOU ARE NOT YET COMPLIANT WITH OUR CONSTITUTION
PROVIDE HEALTH RECORDS
PROVIDE SCHOOL RECORDS
PROVIDE SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION RECORDS
NOT COPIES OR FABRICATED DOCUMENTS
YOU ARE NOT PRESIDENT YET

Is this the same Hillary that Obama mocked 6 months ago asking what exact foreign policy experience she was talking about. Is this the same women who claimed to help in the North Ireland Peace process but was lying. Or the same women who lied about sniper fire, or the same women who voted for the war.

Hillary is a total joke, being first lady and drinking tea with the other spouses of leaders does not qualify you for anything, let alone Secretary of State. Maybe Secretary but thats it.

Come on Messiah, you can do better then this!

The inclusion of Clinton with these serious people makes a farce of the appointments.
And what about an appointment of the head of the CIA. Is that not included in security?
They actually have come out with some good intelligence on Mumbai.

QUOTE FROM A MAJOR NEWS SOURCE: It wasn't too long ago that Barack Obama and his advisers were tripping over one another to tear down Hillary Rodham Clinton's foreign policy credentials. She was dismissed as a commander in chief wanna-be who did little more than sip tea and make small talk with foreign leaders during her days as first lady. "What exactly is this foreign policy experience?" Obama said mockingly of the New York senator. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no." SO HE HAS NOW NAMED HER AS HIS SECRETARY OF STATE - NOW THERE IS "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN". Obama is a typical, double talking empty suit that black folks voted for because he is black and younger white folks voted for because of their ignorance of government, economy, foreign policy OR wanted a "savior" to fix their self indulgence of too much credit card debt, too many car loans, buying a house they could not afford, etc.

I hate to see the warmongering Hillary get any rewards. Just about anyone would be better than Bush, but Obama will be more business as usual. Given the two choices we had in the general election, he is still the better choice.

He certainly can't do any worse than Bush.

Anyway, keep in mind 56 million Americans voted or a 72-year-old and a VP who doesn't even read a newspaper.

Messiah-elect Obama will save us. Place your faith and allegiance in our new king of kings and all will be well.

why don't you naysayers if you cannot join in-the hope that this country will it must come from under the cloud bush has created, just take sit back and wait and see attitude.

Honestly, my attitude is like in The Simpsons episode when anarchy broke out all over the school, after Ned Flanders became the principal, and the normally very strict Schools Superintendent Chalmers says, "the way America's public schools are sliding, they'll all be like this in a matter of months. I say enjoy it — it's a hell of a toboggan ride!"

Another Saturday night, waiting for 20 January 2009. Waiting for Hilary to descend from an airplane with all those bullets flying, and all those sharpshooters taking potshots at her and her entourage.
Can't wait for her to go toe-to-toe with Putin and Chavez.

All you Rightwingers need to climb back into your holes,your time is up. You and the Bush administration have screwed America big time. It will take much work to bring America back,and Obama will succeed at doing this.

now there you go, encouraging them, getting their hopes up and having them think
1-the bush nightmare will cont'
2-by some dec. suprise mccain/palin will be named president/vp.

please, Barack Obama as it stands right now is going to be the next president of the usa.
everybody is getting their heads around that notion now.

why don't you naysayers if you cannot join in-the hope that this country will it must come from under the cloud bush has created, just take sit back and wait and see attitude.
