So much for promise number one.

pfft.
Has he named all of his cabinet members yet? Let's not judge him until he does.

Have a missed something? Besides Chief of Staff, what other position has been filled?

Obama promised to bring change to government..That change is a change in thinking and ideology. If Obama assembles a group of progressive thinking retreads, that would be great. You don't comprise your administration with a team of rookies with the turmoil this country faces. The President must set the tone for his cabinet and I have no doubt Obama will do that. His cabinet will surely be more left leaning because he happens to be a liberal.

The people who didnt like him during the campaign and bad mouthed him then....still don't like him...surprise surprise surprise....and they make themselves irrelevent, in the process....even when you reach out it is hard to reach the ones who are cowering in the corner and ready to throw stink and spit balls.

Republicans think that the best way they can represent their constituents and serve the country is to be obstructionist to the attempts to rectify the mess they've made of our country.

I'll hold judgement until I actually hear that he has selected his cabinet. As for appointing Emanuel I will admit that he picked someone who gets things done and is a tireless worker. Like him or not, he is the type of person you want to work for you. I don't really like him, but I do admire his "no holds barred" attitude.

Whats hilarious is they read News Max and come up with names that no one else is talking about and then are critical of Obama as if he really is considering Corzine. Maybe if they read something other then the Daily Sand they might be able to get their head out of it.

News Max, Drudge and the usual assortment of malignant right wing tumors have already picked it for him.

There's hardly any difference between the so called conservatives out there and the democrats. The point we are making is...........Change has come! I'm totally convinced now that refers to the dollars in my pocket turning into change, not the goverment Obama is trying to establish. Same old crap tossed in with a few new shady characters. If your kids came home with those type of friends I'm sure you would be concerned. We know nothing about him in the words of the liberals. We do know the company he keeps and that is enough for me to cast an educated vote in the opposite direction.

Lets see........no nothing did nothing except hang out with shady terrorist and racist friends or an old RINO Republican war hero. I'll take my chances with the RINO.
