Original message

He isn't running the country...yet...
But you can see it in his eyes...

And in the way he holds his shoulders...

The way he strides down the halls of power...

The way he answers the questions of reporters who aren't used to having them answered seriously...

The way he watches those around him, never missing a thing, never seeming to be off-guard...


The People's Business awaits him, and he knows it...


He is ready.


Welcome home, Mr. President-elect Obama...

Your people await you.














Thanks to everyone who has responded!
I woke up in the middle of the night, and these words were banging around inside me, demanding to be let out...

So I got up and here they are!

I am really honored that they touched so many of you...

Just you watch. They will all sing a different tune when they get the bill. Even the great mesiah BO hasn't a clue. If he did, it would have been done by now. CITI corp needs more money and so does Stanly Morgan. The bailout failed and so will BO. Until people understand that these corps must go under and then let them go under the common man is just going to get squeezed some more.

If those auto companies are not making money now then how will they make money later? If the banks are not profitable then what makes you think they will be later?

The correct answer is that they will not. BO can not fix that.

And I believe deep down, BO knows this. This would explain his marked tentative mood, which is reflected in just about everything he says. He's very unsure of himself.

I expect that Obama does the same at his agenda as the ballyhooed "First 100 Days" of Nancy Pelosi. Too bad the media doesn't keep a checklist. I don't think she scored very well, even if we give her the first two years.

The only problem, since the Obama agenda was filled with platitudes, and not much else, how do we measure its success?

Let me ask you this: You are running for office and your opponents followers are (rightly or wrongly) questioning you place of birth. You can make absolute asses of them and once and for all put this (in your opinion) non-issue to rest by producing your birth certificate. As a matter of fact, you could make quite a production of it by holding a news conference and offering it as proof of your citizenship. Why would YOU not do that?

We have had 2 or 3 threads on Obamas' birth certificate. Debunked. The birth certificate has been produced. Lawsuits have been dismissed The Supreme Court has determined it is not a viable case.

However extreme right-wing asses continue to make this a central point in their universe. Their Raison d'etre.

Question: If it has any merit why haven't any republican members of congress backed this nonsense and gone public? Held a news conference? Only washed up ex-congress member Alan Keyes has said anything.

If President Bush had conducted himself the previous eight years the way he did in his final press conference, I bet that some in the press would have been kinder to him. For the most part, he was candid, relaxed and friendly, which is probably much more what he is really like than the aloof sort that the Party personality shapers wanted him to be. Whether one likes or dislikes him, he was pretty direct in admitting to mistakes he made during his watch. I actually found it pretty refreshing, considering that I've never heard that out of any Congressman, even when they are convicted in a court of law (i.e., Ted Stevens).

I hope our next president can be that candid when he screws something up, which is inevitable.

You are kidding right?

They can't hurt him now. They were never going to give him the benefit of the doubt, no matter what. Now that he has a week to go he can relax some. They can't hurt him much now. It didn't matter one bit how he acted during his tenure, after the Supreme Court had to hear the Al Gore fiasco and give Bush the win, it was all over before it started.

He is going to have to issue a pardon of his entire administration to avoid the shit stream that is going to follow him by the Crooks in Congress and other idiots who are calling for "War Crimes" prosecutions.

The only way he could make it worse would be by launching a missile strike on the Capital Building while Congress was in session.

I am relieved beyond relief that he is our president. I am willing to bet that crime lessens in the cities.

There will be disappointment. But until the free market gets behind small business and gets credit back in full swing, the bail out seems necessary. Greedy holders of money in this nation are the problem, not Obama -- banks withholding money, stock market fraud. So Obama has to do what he has to do. Other government waste can be cut. He needs to talk about the shifting of costs in government, not just that he's adding a huge bill.

I have a co worker in his 50's, a Democrat. Himself, and his 90 year old father, voted Republican for the first time ever this election. His explanation? "Obama scares me." This inaguration SCARED ME. Terrifying that in the age of super information via Internet, that no one wised up to how manipulative President Obama has been. How under the banner of "unity" he used class warfare non-stop, sexism, racism, age discrimination, AND SOUGHT TO SILENCE DISSENT THROUGH THE COURTS. Anyone who would have looked up "Saul Alinsky" could have put two and two together, seeing the method behind the madness of constantly stirring the pot- constantly convincing the public how miserable their existence is. Those Americans who did no research got their info via the press- who provided all the positive advertising Obama needed. Scary that we may never be able to trust the press again. When I move from FOX to CNN it is like watching the news for two different countries, and still neither of them could provide enough unbiased info on Obama. Now CNN has a slogan on the screen "No Bias, No Bull"- Sorry! Too little, too late.

Watching the uninformed fawn over this new President was scary. Mindless, emotional passion and special interests are a great threat to liberty. Yes We Can!!!! Yes we can do what? How's this for your first mission of "remaking" the United States- educate yourselves in History (great civilizations, war, freedom, FAILURE OF SOCIALISM WORLDWIDE), government, our Constitution and your freedom to be free of government. intervention in your life. Then teach your children well. In absence of education at home they get Hollywood 101, public schools and liberal leaning universities. I find it amazing that our country still strives to be conservative in the face of all of the early childhood indoctrination. Despite the media bias, if the economy had not tanked, I believe that McCain would have won. He performed well considering the conservatives who stayed away from the polls alltogether and him being so tremendously outspent. And running a shoddy campaign compared to Obama's smooth machine. A few things done differently, more education of our people, more organization and next time Yes WE Can.

Until then, whatever your political stripes- educate yourselves to keep this nation great and our people free. Be wary of those who use the "hate" and "race" cards anytime you disagree with them. The "victim" activist often cannot win on their own merits, and must resort to these attacks.
This is the part where I have to add the HOPE slogan. Without lying. Okay- I HOPE that President Obama limits government, keeps a strong military and embraces conservative principles. AND openly and often references the only real messiah there ever was- Jesus. With his cult leader powers Obama could become the greatest evangelist we have seen in awhile. Call it the Dreaming President Obama Will Change Hope. Because conservatives has EQUAL rights to liberals to dream, hope and even resist the changes planned by the uninformed masses.

Least accomplished Harvard Law Review president, produced volume least referred to. Nothing penned under his name. No thesis?

Did NOTHING as a lawyer (legal writer)

Crime not improved, situations not improved by his community organizer work.

Avoided votes- voted present. Hillary Clinton " . . . and Barack Obama gave a speech in 2005."- summed up accomplishments. His books? Failures until he ran for office.

How do translate lack of accomplishments? Oh yeah, he accomplished running for and being elected president. Someone tell me what he did?
NOTHING. Hillary said it many times. Bill Clinton gave the best quote of the campaign "he's the biggest fairytale I've ever seen."
Too bad America likes fairytales over substance.

jogn, what's he done? In he signed legislation that would prevent medical care to a baby that survived an abortion. that while a senator. He voted "present" 152 times while Senator. Some decisive guy, eh what?
Hew just signed an order to close Gitmo. This order STOPPED military tribunals against terrorists that have killed American citizens.
He just signed an order to federally fund abortions all over the world.
He sat in a church 20 yrs and declared he had never heard any of Rev Wrights
racist statements. Those statements were also displayed in the Church Gift Shop.
He started his political career in the home of a Terrorist. Bill Ayres who bombed police stations and the Pentagon.
He made deals with Tony Resko a Chicago gangster that put millions in Reskos pocket. Resko helped Obama get a lower price on his home.
That's just for starters...

Now, what do YOU think is great about Obama.

bush got elected(bought) gvrnr , nothing outside of that other than what was handed to him on a silver platter in order to dress him up as someone with an accomplishment.

then he got elected(bought) president, so bama(bought) senator/prez bush/business failure/(bought) gvrn/preznt , if possible worse scholastic than bama.

seems a wash to me.

dog, What's the difference if Bush came from a rich family? Do you think anyone who comes from rich families should be disqualified from being President?
BTW, your post does not answer the q, what do you think is great about Obama?

it's fine bush came from a rich family. no sweat off my nuts at all.
I am glad for the guy.

to think that his accomplishments outside of that had little to do with him getting where he was , since you guys seem to gloss over that in your bama comparisions is the point.

as to what's so great about bama, i would say the fact that he appears to have gotten where he has WITHOUT the benefit , directly, of a rich family start would at least put him on a par starting out with bush.

I can't name anything great about either of them in regards to this.

I know if you were picking which shoes to be born into which one you would pick.

that's all.

I cannot tell you how infuriated I am over umpteen million in the stimulus plan going to landscaping the Washington mall. that's some loony democrat sticking bad money after bad people into a stellar president's plan. It stinks and I bet you 20 to 1 with Pat Day aboard, Obama hates that the plan contains these stinky porks. What the hell is $70 or is it $700 million to landscape the Washington Mall? I don't even mind the $200 mil to Planned Parenthood, because I think these poor young teens need it.

Anyway, we will never know what's Obama and what's the loony, stinky greedy Democrat who has had power for years....

I will tell you one thing. Bogavovitch or whatever his name is who is being impeachd in Illinois. It's bogus. He did nothing wrong. He talked off the cuff on a couple phone conversations. You'll see. He will reap much harvest from what the media syncophants are reaping... JUST WATCH!!!!!

WITHOUT the help of a rich family? Not true. Incorrect information. I knew this already but it took me a couple of minutes to bring it up. Maybe others can do the same, instead of putting out incorrect info for all to take as the truth.

From "Who Paid For Obama's Harvard Law Education?" by Rick Honcho.-

Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al Mansour- Legal rep for the Saudi royal family in the US, investment advisor to Prince Alwaleed bin Talal- who's $10 million 9/11 donation was rejected by Rudy Guiani when the Prince later blamed American policies for 9/11 (Obama also hinted at this in the Oct. 2001 Chicago Defender). Khalid is an influential lawyer, orthodox Muslim, black nationalist, author, international deal maker, educator and outspoken enemy of Israel. Khalid mentored Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. His latest videos have anti Semitic theories and anti Israel vitriol. He authored the 1995 book "The Lost Books Of Africa Rediscovered", in which he alleged the United States was/had plotted genocide against black Americans.

Handouts from the inner circle of the Saudi royal family for the last 25 years? But that's not what it's about is it? Just a desire to argue endlessly and one up others? Always ending up back at Bush. Bush is history. Obama is now. Let's live in reality, REAL facts and the present. So many Americans don't know any of this stuff. Shouldn't they? Doesn't anyone care about dropping the name calling and teaching others?

PS- Whatever Khalid didn't pay for/raise funds for, Harvard took over for by being an affirmative action college. Obama's grades were not stellar but the same skin color helped him here that got him a free pass to become president (in my opinion)

Okay, disprove jognlope's assertion that B. Khomeini Obama is not a regular old fraud/thief/politician ? I can not disprove that negative; it's just that the Great Leap (backward) of Faith, the mad rush to osculate his scrotum sweeps away all obstacles in its path, such as the fact that he has done NOTHING. Forget the backroom dealing and backstabbing that HAD to occur in Chicago. I didn't see it and I don't care. I'm talking about service on the federal level, with a possible exception for serving as a governor.

Nor do I "just get a feeling about him," and if I did, I would not trust it enough to vociferate either way. That's no way to start a honeymoon --- with a perfect stranger. Michelle should be ashamed of her countrymen. I just want to know what happened to proving oneself through service ? This business about good feelings and smooth orators is creepy as he!!. :eek:

ToeToe, you probably are a more practical person who relies on data. But the data is pretty darn good from our president just in the last 2 days. Past record doesn't mean much to me, just priorities for the future, determination, goodness, a working knowledge of being the working poor!! and passion.

And now I'm drinking warm water with maple syrup, because I heard gastroenteritis is going around in town this winter like last, and I'm trying to avoid ...... upchucking. (not because of posts here).

I like your last ps, i am to take the funding was minimal, perhaps you know and can post this.

while you're at it lookup bushes grades since you bring up the affirmative action deal.
only way he got in was becuase his old man was an alum.

you want teaching , lookup the following Talat Othman - Muslim Brotherhood - Rove/norquist's Islamic Institute - Harken Energy - Willam Cellini and his development corp in illinois - a noted republican and donor to bush also rezcos 3.8 million fundraiser for bush.

rezco is tied at the hip to muslim goofballs as are the bushes.

if you can add you will see the whole deal you are ranting about is senseless, they are both bama and the bushes bought/influenced by others.

good luck.

more hot air and chest beating, what the hell do i care if you write stories?
what's that got to do with the price of tea in china?

you can't refute a thing i post so you just repost the same old tired lines over and over and over and over.

just like cjs dad you seem to internalize everything and take it as a personal affront.
maybe that's what makes your "replies" so lame.
