Why do you think Obama's motto is YES WE CAN!?!?!!??!
So do it. Get the stock market up so people don't lose jobs. Andale. Do it.
Get me my tax cut. I would like it early if possible.

Everything you think Bush did wrong -- get cracking. Get it fixed. Yes you can!

Just because we can do a thing, does not mean we should do a thing.

NObama is a paper tiger with no more substance than cotton.

OBAMA:
Leadership record: n/a
Bills put forth: 0
Foreign policy experience: n/a
Bipartanship shown: ZERO

This makes Palin a Rhoads Scholar compared to him

I predict that Obama will surprise us all and do one hell of a job!
You got the "hell" part right...

Naw, being the avid Republican I am... I support Obama. I hope he does well and proves me, and many of the other McCain supporters, wrong. If he does, then kudos to him and perhaps I will consider voting for him in 4 years. If he doesn't, then he doesn't get my vote, once again.

Then again, I am pretty open minded, more people should be...

They work for us. We don't cry everytime we hire a new employee.
People cried because their emotional, can an individual be that ignorant? Only a politician's wife can cry? Are you kidding me? What kind of silly little individual would say something like that. The situation is desperate. Open your eyes, the country is in the toilet, history was made, people are losing their homes, the world mocks our nation. Our new President-Elect has called for our country to unite and help fix it. Not sit around and be cynical. The president was elected to lead us. That's LEAD US. "I suspect you" may be an adult with the education of someone who is "very young". This country is fired up, and so is the world. We're on the right path and will certainly not let the limited thinkers stand in the way.

President Obama might make Republicans feel uneasy with his approach, but I have this feeling that he is going to bridge divides like we have never seen, and inspire us as well as people all around the world to do better and make changes.

He has the ears and eyes of the world right now, and how many people have that opportunity to make that type of 1st impression...

We all should be so lucky to be alive right now to witness this. Mark my words, we will have a great 8 years!
Well said!!! I agree 100%.
