“Thank you. I believe many heard what they wanted to hear.”

“Let's see ...he agreed to pay her and in return she would have intercourse with him. I get it, consent. My bad...I confused that with the crime of soliciting a prostitute.”

“Uh..Spitzer was in a hotel room commiting a crime. Ok Back to the economics discussion...”

“11 cents for extra syrup for your hot cakes and sausage! These claims adjusters and document reviewers, either do not have OR are not allowed to exercise common sense!”

“Hmmm...I know he can no longer hold public office, but I wonder if he still has his bar license. You may be on to something... The Blago Law Firm.”

“Nice! You mean lefty! LOL!”

“Kellogs may be dropping him and a 90 day suspension. Perhaps they were realizing the existence of a double standard. Legal/Illegal argument will go on, but you will never see Snoop or Dre on a cereal box with Tony The Tiger. I don't think Santonio Holmes is gonna make it on the box either- Regardless of how great his catch was.”

“She'll be fine. Throw her on an education committee and let her vote with the dems 98% of the time. Done deal!!! If she sucks vote her out in a couple of years. Geez...not that hard.”

“Yeah, McCain/Palin would have been a much wiser choice. Those two would be ready to take on the economy head on with the exact change we need in Washington!! You should have voted for the "Maverick/Reformers". I bet they wouldn't have picked people like HRC.!! They would have picked wise friends from Alaska and Arizona that knew nothing about running the US Government. That would have been a lot better.

Is the SARCASM thick enough for you?”

“I don't know what is funnier this story or the people on this thread that don't realize that it's satirical. LOL!”

“I continue to post this every evening. Obama said he was going to change the way Washington works. It's his direction that will be the change. There are those that assumed he meant that he was going to build his entire cabinet with Washington outsiders, perhaps from the private sector, who have no idea about how Capitol Hill operates. I for one, would prefer people with experience. Now, where would he find these people? Well if not from the Clinton administration Obama would have to reach back to the Carter administration. I think those folks are a little long in the tooth! I don't think it would be preferable for him to seek folks affiliated with the Bush 41 or 43 administrations. With that said, let him be the boss and pick his people. If you think you know better start a fundraising committee for your campaign in 2012 for POTUS.”

“Here we go! All the second guessing. Just like during the campaign..."What Obama needs to do..." "Why doesn't he do this...or that?" Now everyone wants to pick his cabinet! Scoreboard people...364!!!! Now let him do his thing. We don't need speculation. When he makes a mistake call him out. But let 1/20/09 get here already! Sheesh!!”

“I was planning on following all of the aforementioned suggestions. However, I have now been sucked in to this "Transition Process"!!! I'm fairly certain I will be tracking all appointments, along with the development of the new President-Elect Obama administration. Noooooo! Hooked on phase II!!!!”

“Booo! Who cares? She looks healthy enough. I've always been more concerned with her intelligence quotient. Is that in the 2 page memo? Actually, my biggest concern now is that it's raining in VIRGINIA. Please Virginians, grab an umbrella, wait in line, and get out the vote!!!!”

“That guy's sign Uh...not very Christ-like. I didn't know we had a baby murdering muslim on the ballot. It's a true blessing and miracle that this country has come so far. Please vote.”

“Obama knows we are not safer. He knows the Iraq War has made the situation exponentially worse!! BUT he is in front of 100 million people trying to win an election. What is he supposed to say; 'We are less safe, open your eyes...beware!!" He's standing next to an opponent that has a 15-20 point lead on him on the issue of commander and chief and fighting terror!! The safer the electorate feels the better his chances. See, that's the problem...Republicans win first and criticize second.”

“Your frustration with any discussion of war escalation is understandable. However, If Barack Obama stands before 100 million viewers and says let's fight the war on terror by investing billions into the hospitals and schools of were these terrorist live would spell certain defeat in November. Polittical reconciliation is of course the long term objective, but the American electorate is not going to vote for someone who doesn't vow to militarily go after those responsible for the heinous attacks of 9/11. Note that Obama has always said that he wants to practice a different kind of politics. He never said that he wasn't a politician.”

“Stop second guessing the Obama Campaign!! They are Chicago political scientists people. In what poly sci course do they recommend that the front runner do 10 townhall debates with the underdog? Don't worry, I'll wait....Obama did agree to three townhall meetings, one of which would have taken place over the 4th of July weekend. The McCain camp rejected this offer. Email Robert Gibbs Communication Director of the Obama campaign for the memo. McCain needed the exposure! He is not interesting or new. Enter Sarah Palin....Please think. I know this is a must win situation and the stakes are high, but let him play. He is the Democratic Nominee! Now support him and let's stop wringing our hands everytime we think we no better than they in winning a general election.”

“Enough with the had ringing, and defeatist attitudes. Get over the shell shock of Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry losses. People have been second guessing the Obama campaign since before Iowa and after New Hampshire. After he won eleven primaries in a row pundits and shaky democrats come with "I think that Obame needs to do this and Obama needs to do that..." How many times did we here "Obama will never beat the Clinton Machine by being so passive" ENOUGH!! The stakes are high but let him play the game. The Obama campaign knew how to count delegates and they know who to read an electoral college map. Stop biting your nails while reading the daily polls, stand up for your candidate-----Check the polls from exactly one year ago, when Barack Obama was 25 points behind. Now think....Is he playing to win? Uh...Yes. Register to vote and recheck your status. No okey doke!!”

“Many have been second guessing the Obama campaign since before Iowa and after New Hampshire. I know the stakes are high but let him play!!

Exactly one year ago Barack Obama was 20-30 points behind the mighty Clinton Machine. I remember after he won 11 straight primaries. Pundits and yes, even some democrats, albeit outside the campaign, were still talking about what Obama needs to do to win. They say- "He can't win unless he does this....He has to do that....Oh no he lost Ohio...He's on the defensive...he was called uppity and should call them out on being the racist that they are!!!" Come on...that will not fly. I rarely if ever see Republican surrogates with defeatist attitudes, ringing their hands, or appearing full of doubt.

To quote the next POTUS "Enough!!" Stop being shell shocked from the Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry defeats. Stop checking that meaningless Gallup poll everyday.

Remember, the General Election is 51 small elections not one big national election. As it stands today he is winning the electoral college game. Just as he won the delegate count.

Let him play.”

“Let's take a deep breath....I too scream at the tv screen LIAR! In the words of the next veep of the United States this is B---S--! This is malarky! The Obama 08 campaign has been one of the most precisely executed campaigns in modern history. Obama, Plough, Axelrod and the rest of the crew are four steps ahead of the competition. Don't let the national polls get you nervous. The general election is in reality 51 small elections and not 1 big national election like the gallup reflects. Check out the new voter registration for the democratic party in Nevada, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and other battleground states. The ground game is in full operation. I had been second guessing since Iowa, saying "You'll never take down the Clinton Machine like that!" Well....we know how that turned out. If he calls McCain/Palin out for their lies the next thing you'll hear is "Obama angrily lashes out at Gov. Palin raising new concerns over his temperament" BAM! 3 day negative story complete with psychoanalysis about how people from single parent households are more likely to have anger issues!-- Or something equally ridiculous.”
