His appointment of Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of staff leaves me with questions, but I do think Emanuel will get things organized quickly, having been there before in the Clinton era. I buy into the idea that Emanuel's key job will be to try to keep as least the Democrats in Congress focused, if not to help negotiate with the R's too. I thought O's response to the question on Amajinedad's letter was right. He backed off the opportunity to repeat what he said early on – that he would talk to the Iranians with no preconditions and repeated the policy that Iran's development of an N-bomb would be unacceptable – something the Bush administration and the Europeans also agree with.

As you say, numbers count, and Obama does not have a super majority in the Senate, especially if Lieberman jumps ship as is being reported. Like it or not, Obama has the sense to realize he has a great opportunity to be President of all Americans, not just 6/5 of us.

What I'm trying to say is that the country needs to work together to get anything done. I take issue with your stated view that one party can do whatever it pleases and run roughshod over the other party without even trying to compromise. All Republicans are not radical right-wingnuts, and all Democrats aren't radical left-wingnuts either. In the end, the centrists from both parties will get us where we need to go.

I agree with your general thrust, however, that numbers matter in politics. It is up to President Obama to show everyone that he's got the chops to help turn around the mess he's been handed.

But surely you're not arguing that there is no mess, that our economy, foreign policy, and health care system do not need radical adjustments. You can't be that blind, right? Good.

McCain and Obama conducted a very long, very open debate as to how they would deal with America's problems. Millions of Americans made the choice that Obama's solutions were superior and voted for him. If Obama can't begin to turn these around, he'll be hustled out of office in four years and someone with others ideas can try. If Obama does well, he'll serve eight years and be the hero.

I think President Obama has the right ideas and instincts to be a major force for positive change in the country, change that we desperately need. What exactly are you trying to say, Joma?

Hello everyone;

The ’spread the wealth’ – the Obama’s socialistic/Marxist maneouver, brings some things of interest beside that not even in a million years , makes any sense whatsoever, for the math does not add-up.

Anyway, you know,…everyone, even Obama himself knows, that in order to accomplish what he promised or let so say ,…plans to do,..the money has to come from some place. THAT ‘SOME PLACE’ IS OUR VERY OWN TAXPAYERS SAVINGS! —-EXACTLY, ….FROM WHERE THE , so called ’stimulus’ are coming.

First, we had the first 700 Billion Bail-out (which is already misused and abused ) and a second one coming with another extra near 170 Billion!

So step by step, as I said before not too long ago, we are getting ‘deeper inside the abys.’
But,we are not to hit rock-bottom,…oh! no!,…we are going to go further down, – TRHOUGH THE ROCK-BOTTOM ALL THE WAY TO THE CENTER OF THE PLANET , TO THE MAGMA WHERE IS VERY HOT AND WE GET BURN THERE!

And you know what else?,…before the final financial demise, SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS ARE TO BE REDUCED, AND EVENTUALLY ELIMINATED! ALONG WITH OTHERS SERVICES FOR ELDERLY, VETERANS, AND SPECIAL NEEDS PEOPLE.
And not to mention the community health services, nation-wide are going down to the ground too.
It is not a bad omen, or pesimistic view, is a REALITY!

THAT!, IS OBAMA FOR YOU.

You see, ALL KIND OF TAXES ARE GOING TO GET HIGHER, – ( in an attempt to compensate for this ’spread the wealth thing’ )..and there goes his promises!
What is needed to be done ( along with NOT TO RAISE TAXES OF ANY KIND ) – is a thing that he NEVER MENTIONED AND NEVER, EVER WILL MENTION ,..and is : – TO CLEAN WASHINGTON AND THE FINANCIAL SECTOR FROM THE CORRUPTION .

Everyone knows the story right?,…Freddie, Fannie corps, and corrupted CEO’s… Raines, Johnson, O’Neal, among others.

But that will never happen ( at least I do not expect it,..do you ? ) – for Obama-Reid-Pelosi,… along with Barney Frank and others are a very strong club.

So you see, all fits well in here as part of the ‘TROJAN HORSE FACTOR EFFECT’

Oh! boy! life is full of surprises, indeed! Out of curiousity, would you like to have that TIME MACHINE NOW AND UNDO WAT IS ALREADY DONE?

A tough one eh?,…well,…think about this one, if you will.

But this is for now,…another thing,… in another time.
Have a not too disturbing day.
Sincerely,

OF INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO

1. Irael makes a pre-empt attack to Iran for the clear and present threat Iran poses to this nation.
Obama will not do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for he would say :…
So, that is one for saying that we are friends of the jews,…so, alliance is down to the ground.

2. Russia invades adjacent territories: Estonia, Lavstia, Ukrania,…a continuation of maneuvers like
in Georgia. Obama would leave this to the European Consortium for we are in the west side of the
planet.

3. But Russia too, in combination with Venezuela ( Hugo Chavez) attempt to expand and ‘re-new
old Soviet Empire’ here in our very own backyard,…and should be successful, for Obama will stay
out of it, also.

4. Due to condecending/friendly criteria on border-security, laws and guidelines on ilegal alilens,
the drug-traffic cartel from Mexico and other places from Latin America, increase as result.

5. Because around 25% decrease in national defense, our security, domestic and abroad is to be
with high vulnerability….along with the inability to spot and stop ‘fifth columnist (spies) form
terrorist factions enhance the danger for our beloved country .

6. Finaly, we loose war in Irak, and Afghanistan,…we do not have victory, just empty time,…for unwise/out of correct time retieve of our troops
And also we do loose crediblity in ourselves and to the world, for determination is not achieved.

This is part of the ‘TROJAN HORSE EFFECT’ I spoke not too long ago. So we eventually and very soon, we find ourselves WIDE OPEN TO BE DESTROYED!

You know?,… certainly we do need that TIME MACHINE ,…. only, is not there now.

Does this sound science-fiction to you?,….too especulative?
Well, I do hope, and wish that this is not the case, for if by any chance IS LIKE THIS,….. DOES NOT LOOK GOOD AT ALL!

That is all , for now,…I do hope is not too hard for you,… something more, another time.

Hello, everyone:

Beside high number of voting was done on basis of EMOTIONS rather than INTELLECT and KNOWLEDGE, others factors ; FRAUD, BRIBE,DECEPTION, EVASION, INTIMIDATIONS and PROTESTS WHEN COMMENTS WERE TOUCHING TRUTH ,…. all this from part of the democrats, (Obama camp, surrogates and acolades ) – all of those contributed to this ‘AMERICA EXPERIENCE’

All these factors played coordinated dynamics, which did bring as result, an ILEGITIMATE/UNLEGAL/INCORRECT ( take a pick) collective mishappen.

But then again, HISTORY is loaded with sad, ilegitimate, uncorrect not to mention MASS-PRODUCED STUPID OUTCOMES.

With that said, we can expect that in a very short time we would be more that glad to have a TIME MACHINE, to go back in time to undo was was done.

But as I said not too long ago; – for us humans TIME is variant that goes only one direction in the SPACE_TIME CONTINUUM,…in other words HE HAVE TO FACE THE CONSECUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS.

And my fellows americans, the future ahead seems to looks not so well.

So this only,… ‘FOR STARTERS’,…I will elaborate furhter another time.

Have a relax day.
Sincerely, with all due courtesy.

But keep in mind that, roughly speaking, for every 6 who voted for Obama, 5 went the other way. If your party thinks you can win this hard hitting football game with only six on the field, more power to you.
