Already working harder than bush did during all of the last 8 years!
I am so proud of President-Elect Obama!

[BoboPalinski]

And already Iran has rejected Obama's policy:

36 Days until the Inauguration

I'll bet Dobson is telling his congregation to pray for the rapture so the real Americans won't be governed by O's elitist intellectuals.

[jnratliff]

I wonder if at the end of the meeting Obama said find me a way to get into Iraq?
Of corse this is earlier then bush had his first meeting (but bush had no concern about America he had his head firmly up his own butt even back then). But months later in the game he told his very first national security council meeting find me a way to get into Iraq!
Here we are folks with the most criminal administration in the history of our country after they have preformed the biggest heist in the history of the world. bush will sign a round of pardons and walk away scott free.

Will Barack Be A Philosopher-President? http://stephencrose.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/will-barack-be-a-philosopher-president/

[kellygrrrl]

great piece. thanks Stephen.

[Bocado]

Stephen your question about Obama being a philosopher-President invoked the scene from the movie, The Rock and Armageddon.
In both films, the Presidents have a very introspective reflective moment out loud about the incredibly hard decisions they were forced to make...

...that is exactly how I think Obama will be.

[VictoriaHope]

This HuffPost "story" is near non-story. These are the facts obtained from thepage.time.com __ "The president-elect will hold a pow-wow in Chicago (on Monday) with his top dogs, including Clinton, Gates, Holder, Napolitano, Susan Rice, Gen. Jones.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mullen, National Intelligence Director McConnell, incoming chief of staff Emanuel and counsel Greg Craig will also attend."
But "top Dogs" at a "pow-wow"! ? Incongruous metaphor mixing! Instead, perhaps, "Commander-in-Chief elect will hold pow-wow with his top Indians in Chicago on Monday" !?

We're behind you O - we're behind you 100% no matter what the naysayers and white supramacist say.

The first gathering of the "Change You Cannot Believe In"
Team.

[Irish55]

Brilliant. Let's not give the new team the chance to even be in office before the criticism and general snarkiness starts. Here's an idea: if you think you can do it better; you run for office? Why do I think that if that were to happen, somewhere down the road someone would be heaving their shoe at you.

[IowaKid]

Thank you well said. I never seen such impatient people. I'm the type of person that I'd like wait until ALL the facts are in before I pass judgement. Even in the Bush administration I chose to wait for all the facts first.

[karronna]

The lack of patriotism and dept of unAmerican sentiment amongst the losing side this time amazes me. I gave George W. Bush the benefit of the doubt at first even though I didn't vote for him.

[kreoth]

corruption is not something His Highness president Obama should be concerned about

[apoliticalchick]

One thing you gotta say about the man is he sure has quick reflexes!

First order of business: 30+ days till Bush is gone. How to get him to stop giving press conferences in Iraq and doing any more damage internationally. We thought he couldn't inflict any more harm in his waning days. Wrong.

[SparkyDash]

He's like a little whirling dervish...watcha gonna do? Throw shoes? 30 days does sound nice though. Wish it were 5.

The ad Facesof LawsuitAbuse to the right of this article on main page.

That organization is a front for corporations that want to end the consumer's right and access to suing to get safe products.

Remember that when you hear the phrase Tort Reform.

Didn't I read this someplace else.... Hmmmm.... spam.....

Blinx spa noodle shawmp!

Obama, One more suggestion,,If a thief steals our wallet and goes on a spending spree and spends 300 dollars but we only have 200 dollars , dont bill us for the extra, get it from the congressmen and women we hire to balance out books..Understand. We not only lose our 200 dollars but have to pay the thieves more with added tax. Stop it. Be responsible..

[vjoseph]

All I am saying is, Obama better learn to duck shoes

:)

[BrahminNoodles]

I can't believe that everyone is buying the M0SSAD-controlled MSM lie about there being only one shoeman!

If you click on the link below, you will see video proving that there was a second shoeman on the grassy chair.

Bush's head can be seen turning in the direction of the grassy chair.

Obviously it was a magic shoe.... as you can see from the home movie taken at the same time...

[SparkyDash]

Who knew Bush was that agile? totally impressed.

As this is the National Security Team I would hope they have the grassy chair, and other clothing missile theories, handly covered. I would add, that with the cold weather, perhaps a wayward glove and/or mitten, could in fact be lobbed in the direction of the unsuspecting PE. I would also say, "Duck, sir, for god's sake, duck!"
