Good for Obama. He ran an organized campaign which is an indication of his running an organized country. Poor old John McCain. That thing growing on his face would make a better running mate than Sarah Palin. Is it true that McCain and his mother will be moving to Home for the Aged? while Cindy McCain is going back to being a full time druggie?

I just saw a list of who he might pick for his cabinet. Colin Powell for Education..etc. so far I like the list of people. Good choices.

If the Republicans are complaining, then it must be a good choice.

Sadly, this transition is from global economic, cultural and military superpower into something far, far less pleasant.

Rep. Rahm's father was a terrorist! OMG!

The Treasury Aecretary slot won't be announced until they get an answer on whether either Marx or Engels could be cloned in time for January.

As the future comes into focus Obama will be wise to consider that he will not always be President. Legacies are built on change that is sustainable over time.

46% percent of Americans who also voted also disagree with choices that will only serve to create a larger divide between the parties. Don't forget that states like Georgia, Tennessee, Kansas and Arkansas voted 2-1 against Obama (not necessarily for McCain).
Obama would best serve all of us by following his victory speech to the letter... Of course, that would be asking for too much. After all, he is a lawyer.

I want to be in charge of African Affairs.

Talk about whiners, this from a group who would begrudge the poor even a Marie Antoinette cake. Hey Boner, you lost, suck it up or slink out!

Now republicans are complaining that obmaa should keep his promise of bipartisanship?

I don't want bipartisanship. Republicans don't play it, bush never played it, neither should we.

Go Ramhbo go!!

>Don't forget that states like Georgia, >Tennessee, Kansas and Arkansas voted 2->1 against Obama (not necessarily for >McCain).

Yes, most of the former slave states voted against Obama. But he didn't need the Deep South to approve of him.

endofempire,

When are partisan harks like you going to understand that the election is over and we now have a President-elect Barack Obama.

You guys better shape up quickly or it will be a bumpy 8 year ride.

I think Obama could do a fine job. French style Socialism minus the 14% unemployment would be very nice over here. Napoleon instituted nationalized health care in the early 19th century... Why can't we?
He just needs to be careful and not build walls where he needs to build coalitions. Lets see, a couple of years of this marais and we will seek the guillo for everyone in congress... But if he plays his cards right, he could turn a good portion of those 46%... I for one hope he does.

If am in charge of African Afairs, there would be no shot fired on that continent as long as Obama is president of US. All foreign coporations that do business in African will follow a guide line that preserves the integrity of the continent as a whole. All trades in Ivory will stop. All mine fields, oil, gold, diamonds, and other minerals will be open to the general public.

Looks like the Republicans are running scared. They realize that this president is not a puppet or mouth piece for special interest groups which means a no nonsense administration. President Obama will control the Whitehouse in the same manner with which he controlled his campaign, with great efficency and success!

Obama is all words and no substance. 6-8 months from now and the American people will be all over him about his empty promises. Hillary had it exactly right. "I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he'd bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."
You know, the more I think about it, the more I see parallels between Barack Obama, and the late Beatles frontman John Lennon. Obama's whole message is about "change". He seldom, if ever, spends any time in providing specifics in how he will accomplish the changes, specifically in how he will fund the changes. In his speeches he often railed at McCain and proposed all sorts of stuff that he (thankfully) admitted that he would have to find a way to pay for, yet did not provide specifics, other than chopping government waste and reviewing the federal budget "line by line". These are fine cliché lines that politicians can use, but unless you actually turn on your brain, you won't realize that what he is proposing he will need to spend money to accomplish, and given the economic times that we are in, there are only two ways for him to fund his proposed programs - reducing current spending, or increasing taxes. Now, as for the former...while I am no economist, I do know that conservatives in general are not spenders, but reducers. I find it hard to believe Obama can find that much more to reduce to pay for his programs. Yet, he doesn't address this, but instead, like John Lennon, will simply ask people to imagine, to dream, and to hope.

If the Republicans are crying over it, it's a GREAT CHOICE. Actually, it's a great choice regardless. He knows his stuff. So another win for us!

I just saw a list of who he might pick for his cabinet. Colin Powell for Education..etc. so far I like the list of people. Good choices

where did you see that list?

steve_NJ: As long as he fights his natural lean and sticks to center-left, Obama will probably do just fine. He may even gain some additional converts.
Here is a guy who could achieve wonderful things, like peace in the Middle East. But lets face it, he has 46% of this nation who have their fingers crossed, waiting for what they expect to be the inevitable failure. It does not have to be if he follows through on his campaign promises and his victory speech.
