The Transition

this is awesome how the gop politics were rejected... there were many bad things that happened over the last 8 years... perhaps not all of them were Bush's fault... but the buck stops right there and the GOP paid the price... this is how our politcal system SHOULD work... this is how it DOES work.... if you fail horribly.. you are gone..... and someone else gets a chance to succeed where you failed..

Re: I just would like to say that I cannot believe that this country voted in a man with no experience to be the commander in chief! The college kids voted for him because it was the "cool" thing to do.

Are you serious? My 2 college kids, in debt up to their neck in student loans voted for Obama because it was cool? Did Colin Powell vote for him because it was cool or because he is black. If that is the case, then Will Smith could have been elected. This is beginning to sound like a nasty divorce. It's over. The republicans will get their chance again. McCain (a great man) was very gracious in his concession speech and asked his supporters to support the new President as has President Bush. Please, lets begin the healing process.

If I were a Republican... I would go to the Impeach Obama websites that were started yesterday and tell them to get a life.

He hasn't even been in office... and they are already claiming that he needs to be impeached.

If you want to do something good for our country... I would talk to these people who are hoping for failure and disaster and suffering... to salve their own egos.

These people need to get some sense.

Concerned....

Don't be so gloomy.

In many ways, Bush did a bad job as President... but we didn't all die because of it. We just elected a different leader with a different plan.

Sure, there is lots of stuff that needs to be fixed. And if Obama doesn't do a great job (and if we don't help out), we will see dark days ahead.... but even then it will not be the end of the world. In four years, we'll be able to look at Obama's presidency... and if he seems to be another Bush... well, we'll elect someone else!

Sure, our government can move pretty slowly sometimes. But it is very strong and very stable. Our people are strong and committed to our country. And as long as we can change the country, like we did on November 4th, we will be OK!!!

Jenn... I'm not expecting 1000 dollars from Obama.

In fact, I am looking forward to working hard to help my employers, my community, my co-workers, and country make it through the difficult days ahead!!!

If I sit around waiting for some free giveaway.... how would that make the country better. These economic problems we are having are very, very serious. We aren't talking about the fortunes of political parties here... we are talking about the future of our entire country!

Why waste time on bitterness... when there is real work to be done... and a page has been turned!

To: Blue: I corrected myself, did you not see that? Thanks Doreen

and to put a finer point on it:

"So it turns out that when Plumber Joe was a child, he was on welfare, not once, but twice, and he credits it with helping his family ultimately lead a middle-class life style. He defends having received welfare by saying that he's subsequently paid into the system.

In other words, well-designed taxpayer-funded social assistance programs are fine because ultimately they will pay for themselves.

Suddenly we have Joe The Reasonable, right? Well, not exactly. Plumber Joe has got something of a tax dodging problem. In the end, he's just another typical Republican hypocrite.

ask 'Joe the plumber', the republican minister of finance...... he's the 'right-wing' expert on the economy....

'How easy to judge a President when you're safe at home with only the knowledge the Media feeds us.'

which is why your calling the president elect the name of a terrorist?... you Repubs are a very strange bunch of folks.

Do you have any idea when you Obama followers will be expecting to receive the $1000 that he said that he would give you if we voted for him? LOL

Ryan C. - Sorry....I should have known that people would pick each word I typed apart. What I meant was....

"Also....have you forgotten about Sept. 11th???? Did you want our government just to say to the world...ok, anyone or any country can do this terrible thing to us and we aren't going to do anything about it....come back and destroy and kill more Americans.....get real!!!"

Ryan...does that make you happy????? LOL

CORECTION ON POSTING

Before I get a bunch of corrections I saw it myself, Osama Bin Laden and Obama Elect... I can't type.

Obama doesn't have a mandate? Bush won by 2.7 points in 2004 and he DOES have a mandate? 6 points is a landslide in recent elections. North Carolina is Obama's bringing him to 364 electoral votes.

"Also....have you forgotten about Sept. 11th???? Did you want our government just to say to the world...ok, you can do this terrible thing to us and we aren't going to do anything about it....come back and destroy and kill more Americans.....get real!!!"

The world is responsible for 9/11?

The delusions of the right wing grow with each day the realization that their reign of power is over sinks in.

Obama Bin Laden.... Maybe instead of killing one nut and having several other nuts hatch in unknown places... better to follow the one nut and see where and who he leads us to?? Maybe we might be able to expose these terrorist groups and eliminate them before they kill anyone. President Elect Osama will be over the next 75 days brought into the Security loop. I bet as in all past Presidents going into office, will age about 10 years. What a huge responsibility he is going to be exposed to. No matter the party, I do not envy the information he will know and have to live with the rest of his life. He will lose an innocence that many of us will not have to face in our lifetime. How easy to judge a President when you're safe at home with only the knowledge the Media feeds us.

Iraq Had nothing to do with 911 You drank to much of the Bush Kool-Aid He should of Stayed in Afghanistan Instead of wasting all of our troops and money in Iraq

wow..... Republicans, after the last 8 years of doing things their way, now want to be 'reasonable' after ruining the country.

Guess we'll see...... I doubt it tho'.

re: "have you forgotten about Sept. 11th???? "

only Bush & Cheney have.....

that's why Bin Laden is still around, I'm sure you remember 'W' saying.. 'dead or alive'....then it was 'mission accomplished'.... Republicans talk a good 'American show' but they are not good at actually doing things in a strategic and effective way.

"Barack will bring us together"

Actually no. We will bring ourselves together or not at all.

This one was bitter to the bone. There is no magical manna from heaven to change that. We'll get back to our routines and time does the rest. If the Obama supporters want to make that happen faster, now is the time to drop the stoner rhetoric and get focused on the tasks at hand.

Obama doesn't have a mandate. He has a clean win of six points. The good news is that stops a repeat of the Bush/Gore let the lawyers decide it debacle. But be smart and realize that a) 47% thought otherwise b) the Democratic blowout of Congress didn't happen and c) the Republican Party isn't going away.

Look in your hearts and minds and ask if you really do put country first. If you do, (and I mean all of you), drop the partisan rhetoric and pick up an oar and row.

I just would like to say that I cannot believe that this country voted in a man with no experience to be the commander in chief! The college kids voted for him because it was the "cool" thing to do. 95% of the black voters, voted for him because it was the only thing to do! And everyone else voted for him because they have an emotional love affair with a very eloquent, gifted, attractive black man who promised to change the world! Those qualities do not keep us safe or change our economy! I hope he is a great president because if he fails, we ALL fail! We elected someone with little experience, someone we don't know, and frankly that scares me. We have the MSM to thank for him being elected!!
