I know this is a completely idiotic thought, so bash me if you want, but can't they have a 90 day probationary period, like most employers do for new employees, before the new president becomes 100% official? I know it would never happen, but wouldn't it be nice? Also, it would apply to either candidate who won and his or her running mate.

I think it would be great regardless of who the elected President is. I don't think it would ever happen, but the most powerful position in the country should have very high standards. And that's what I find so amazing, considering Nobama's background he doesn't become CEO of most companies in America, yet he's instantly qualified for President. That says something about our priorities in my opinion, and it's not good.

Obama would be a good external communications director at a company---not a CEO.

You just proved you can be totally wrong both in past and future tense - in the same sentence!

What is it like to go through life so totally confused that Bush seems like a better president than Carter? I can't imagine.

You know what says something even worse?

The fact that you can read a post about how stupid wingnuts were mistaking the flag of the state of Ohio for some newly invented "Obama Flag" and make a comment that you thought Obama's new flag was a bad idea.

That pretty much invalidates your opinion on a wide variety of subjects.

Why in the world are we hiring an ACTOR to become the President of the United States?????

He does not have ANY TRACK RECORD for his claims of being an AGENT OF CHANGE.

Do you know who will be running the country if he were president?????

Everyone else BUT him!!!! OBAMA will just be a spokesperson. Biden will probably be running the country because Biden is going to yell at OBAMA for being stupid and not having enough experience.

His socialist mentors and friends will probably be running the country.

OBAMA is a puppet.
