The president-elect isn't getting a free pass from the Republican National Committee, which has been blitzing out critical statements about his various appointments.
The RNC are the most hard headed old, grumpy white men I have ever seen. Negative does not work. Did they not learn that from McCain's campaign. What they need to do is ask their God to remove their blinders. There is non so blind as he who cannot see above his own narroow mindness and shallowness.
Paul you need to look in the mirror. All i pointed out was How MY friends and MY wife who voted Obama couldnt even name thier VP. YOU then called me a racist. That makes YOU one.
You conservatives and liberals never change. if i dont vote democrat I am a racist if i dont vote republican I am a welfare rube.
I personally have voted 3rd party for the last 5 major elections. Both dems and reps are inherantly biased against anyone who doesnt support thier views. Both spout off about unity and etc etc, RIGHT up until you dont agree with either one.
And White Bear if I am wrong SOrry. But you and paul have started calling me a racist because i didnt and dont like Obama. Mostly from checking his deeds in his home state. Unlike most i hope he does good but Unlike most I realize a president has no real power. HE has to get congress and the senate approval for alot of things EVEN presidential orders can be shut down thru them. BOTH.
I am simply waiting to see what he wants to change becaus ehe has gave me no info on WHAT he wants to change OR HOW hes gone to change it. Other than vague statements. I really dont trust any politician. I remember one of my first ballots to vote in a presidential race on the reservation after i joined up. It had one name on it Jimmy Carter. After that i have no reason to trust politics. Its my right to disagree with them. I served 17 years in the Corp because i believe even with its faults and extreme left and right wing nut jobs America is still the best place to be to have Freedom and hope.
Plus i dont believe in affermitive action(cant spell that) I Pulled my self up. I worked and went to school with out help. granted my spelling skill are not the best but I made it. I dont like the bailouts. AND i dont think the GOP is even close to being dead. They said the same thing about the Dems before. It would be nice if both partys did die off and people just voted for the best one instead of whos in what party.
Dang thats the longest post i have ever done. have fun take care off to help with the local soup kitchen most of them vets like me with no work.
Let yalls hate go just agree to disagree and talk instead of name callling you MIGHT ACTUALLY CHANGE EACH OTHERS MINDS IF YOU DID.
So Chargerguy,you're saying that no matter how well Obama does,how much progress he makes,even if you and you're friends and family personally benefit,you've made up your mind that you don't like him and it's just written in stone,right? And this is because your boy Bush didn't get the proper respect?
I'm curious,at what point did Bush earn that respect?Was it when he promised tax rebates because (paraphrasing)"the government doesn't need a surplus"?That sure bought a lot of votes.Was it when he answered "no" to the question"Do you know the names of the leaders in the Middle East"?Was it when his VP said all Democrats were traitors for not supporting the decision to go to war in Iraq?Was it when he decared"Mission Accomplished"?Was it his deft handling of Katrina?Was it when he admitted that he doesn't read newspapers?
Though I and most others respect the office the Bush administration had a neoconservative agenda that neither gave nor deserved (you're either with us or against us) respect.
So tired of Republicans the American people voted against Gerald Ford in 1976. That gave us Jimmy Carter. During his time, the Democrats had control of both the house and senate. It only took 4 years of that too "change" Americans minds......
And in a big way !!
Mr. Obama would be wise to "stay in the center" or he is going to be a one term wonder.
Two facts about the job of President.
1. The most important job in the world.
2. The most thankless job in the world.

I would add a third:
3. No matter what you do, half the country thinks it's wrong.
true, arad. Even when a candidate wins by a "landslide", 56 million people vote against you.
Are what they (RNC) are claiming bereft of any truth at all? Are many of these appointees old faces? Old ideas? If all or most of the appointees are Clinton retreads, don't at least some of you Dems got some questions? Some issues? If I remember, you rejected the Clintons..for change, yes? Are some of the appointees the same old insiders? To be expected! Which way do you Dems think the known up to now appointees are going to turn this administration?
I USED to be a republican then Bush invaded Iraq. Since then my eyes are wide open and have seen lies about why we went war, lies about the education system, using fear to take away our civil rights, phone eavesdropping, ruining our economy, destroying New Orleans, enabling the markets to drive oil prices up due to speculation, not regulating multiple industries so we have salmonella we can't trace, water and polution getting worse and countless other attrocities that this group of clowns has allowed and encouraged on their watch. Now they want to drill for oil near our national parks, loosen workplace safety and relax the security at our ports. These are the same bozos who let the large banks and mortgage companies offer and entice subprime mortgages evan at Fannie and Freddie and created the meltdown that triggered the recession we are in that they still can't admit to. Now they are led by Paulson who was with Goldman Sachs try to give away trillions more to this administrations buddies. Where was the outcry from the so called financial conservatives who just showed up a month ago? Where the hell were they when we deficit spent our way to 500 million in the whole and the national debt going past 10 trillion dollars? The RNC needs to quit being the Karl Rove lying propoganda machine and start coming up with some real answers. Taking shots from the sidelines isn't going to solve any of this republican mess. Rush Limbaugh is full of hate, sarcasm and half truths. If this is the best the republicans have (Rove & Limbaugh) then they will be the minority for a long, long time. Wake up so called republicans! Your in the past and are becoming a joke.
Kurt bush deystroyed New Orleans? Funny I thought it was a Hurricane
Polution got worse in the last 8 years?
Funny GW adopted the same clean water act suggested by clinton admin.
Kurt....believe it or not was DEMS who encouraged and supported Fannie and Freddie to loan to unqualifed borrowers..was called the community reinvestment act passed during the clinton years...as well as the Deregulation of the finance system...passed in 1999 with support of the dems and signed by Clinton...
You seem so misinformed I thought I would help you out.....your welcome
Kurt you say your eyes are wide open but you have only shown that your ignorance has no bounds. You push accusations and theories as fact.
You blame Bush for the war in Iraq but you forget it was a bi-partisan vote by congress who passed into law the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution in 2002.
You claim it was lies that we went to war and yet even during the Clinton administration, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry just to name a few claimed IRAQ had WMDs.
If the public education system is so great here why do private school using far less money than public schools produce students with higher GPAs and test scores.
Taking away our civil rights? The Democratic Party is the party of regulations which take your freedoms away.
You claim they destroyed New Orleans. You must have been drinking during that statement.
Phone eavesdropping - If you think the government really eaves drops on your phone conversations you are giving yourself to much credit. You are not worth there time.
AS to ruining the economy you seem to forget that the Bush Administration and the Republican Party warned about the Sub-Prime mess a couple of years ago. But during the hearings for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac your buddies Barney Franks, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters pitched a fit saying that there were no problems with these organizations. They lauded the leadership and claimed that all the problems noted (which we know today were true) were false claims. Franks even stated playing the race card. Dodd would never go against Fannie or Freddie since they gave him more money than any other politician. All the while we have Maxine Waters and Acorn threatening the Financial industries, pressuring them to make more loans to people who could not afford them and telling them not to foreclose on deadbeats who had stopped paying their mortgages.
Oil speculation has never been proven to be the reason for oil price spikes we recently had. It is supply and demand, basic economics 101. The prices will rise again since we have not increased supply. The demand is down worldwide but only a fool would think that will stay. The areas they want to drill are the size of a postage stamp on a football field which is hardly intrusive.
You should really educate before you spew such lies.
Kurt not only was vote for IRAQ bipartisan in congress.....Senate was controlled by the dems at the time.
F18jets.....Kurt must be about 19 years old whose idea of being informed is Olberman, the Daily show and...Air America...because he perfectly repeated all the spin and all the bumper stickers....
Dont you realize ...we are about 6 months away from DEMS making any questioning of OBAMA a hate crime.
Dems he is not god..he is just another Chicago pol..that you worship because he can read a teleprompter and his skin is black....
The liberals just don't get it. America does not want what they are trying to push on us. Obama won the presidency not because he is the most liberal Senator in the Congress, which he is, but because:
1. The liberal media managed to manipulate the Republican nomination process, supporting McCain so much that he won the nomination. McCain never has been a conservative and, therefore, Americans saw little difference between him and Obama, who pretended to be a moderate or even conservative.
2. Obama took 200 million $ in campaign contributions that he refuses to reveal the sources of. There is a huge amount of evidence that he was taking illegal contributions hand over fist, and these $200 million are almost certainly illegal. He BOUGHT the election, plain and simple. And some $61 million strongly appears to be from foreign citizens, which, if true, makes him guilty not only of criminal activity but most likely treason.
3. Obama pretended to be something he is not. He is, plain and simple, a communist. He has always associated closely with communists, has taugh communist preinciples and actions to others (Saul Alinski's principles), has expressed views that are communist, and has all the markings of a communist. Yet, he lied constantly, and, with the help of the liberal media, convinced enough people that he was conservative or moderate, that he is a really decent guy, that he won the election. In other words, he LIED, DECEIVED, and STOLE the election.
4. He engaged in massive voter fraud. The ACORN fraudulent voter registrations were only the tip of the iceberg. If he is not able to squash the truth about his gross cheating, he will quite possibly go down as the shortest tenured President ever and the first to be indicted and convicted while in his first year in office.
5. The Republicans acted like liberals too often. Not all of them did so, but too many did. That made American voters see little difference between them and the true liberals. So they voted for the Democrats, including Obama.
Now, enough of the garbage about Obama being a great man, a great leader, someone who will bring about change, and all that nonsense. His idea of change is something very few Americans will like when they see it. He has given clues to it all along, if you were paying attention enough to see it. He wants to bring a communist government to America, with himself as teh absolute ruler. If that sounds paranoid, tough. Face the facts, and stop slandering anyone who dares to speak up against him. Those are the same stupid actions and attitudes that Germans had when Hitler was coming to power, which made his takeover possible. Look where that got us.
Sad, truly sad. The same old lame comments regurgitated from the campaign. Go back in your hole.
Wow Dennis, was that your resume' to Fixed news? I don't think Sean Hannity is ready to give up the seat just yet. But that was a dead on impression.
Paul Obama to this do refuses to provide names of millions of donors...just reality you choose to ignore....
keep digging GOP.. once you hit 6 feet you can get in the hole.. and we will do you the favor of throwing the dirt back over ya... so you can go from the GOP to the RIP....
levi....you guys act like Obama won in a landslide.....Obama won with a WHOPPING 1% more of the vote then GW got in 2004....in a bad economy, with an unpopular republican incumbent,,,againt McCain who was never really that popular among GOP base.....
Obama underperformed..in the election..
Not to mention McCain refused to use Rev Wright as a campaign issue.... McCain should have been beating Barack Husseing to death with Rev WRIGHT for about 6 months but was scared he would be called a racist.....McCain way to concerned about what MEDIA would day about him and not more concerned with winning..
DEMS and MEDIA whine and complain about ROVE tactics...because they work for the GOP....any time MEDIA attacks GOP tactics..you know they work.... McCAin should have adopted ROVE tactics....
Levi it may be hard but try and add something to the conversation. You sould like the last act of desperate person.
Amazing, Dems have been spouting out vile and hateful crap for eight years. Now they say obammy is everyone Prez so lets give him a chance. I say lets do what the Dems did for 8 years. Lets fight and dig up anything we can on Obammy and the Dems. Obammy is NOT my Prez.
Celtic.......exactly dems were ruthless...and unforgiving..... Barack Hussein will get the same treatment....he is the president of my country...not MY president....
Same clintonite crowd going to be in charge.... the fact MEDIA thinks its okay for ERIC HOLDER the man who approved the RICH pardon to be Attorney General shows how far the media is in the tank..for the dems and Barrack Obama..
Just to REFRESH your memory RICH was the largest tax evader in american history who fled the country....and whose WIFE donated thousands to CLINTON and rumor is..did some sexual favors for CLinton...and RICH gets pardoned...
Amazing dems have no problem with this....and these are the PEOPLE Barack Obama brought in the "change" washington....Barack typical chicago pol...
The RINO's blew their chances to be of value to anyone including the Republican party, time for a major overhaul.
B.O. is not quite the official Prez and that little detail about credentials is not a moot issue as of yet, a certiorari is in order for consideration by the Supreme Court, who love their position of power over all things unconstitutional, the legal staff of the Obama campaign is being required to present a verifiable birth certificate or a valid Certificate of Live Birth. B.O.'s COLB he had on his webb has been cited as a fraud and proof has been submitted, enough so that the court is looking at the alleged evidence seriously.......
Sore losers. Nyaah. We'll get rid of even more of you next election. Then we'll finish off THIS rotten evangelical Republican Party completely when you run Sarah Palin.
BINGO!!
Just doing what you liberals did for the last eight years, all the vile crap you guys put out. After four years of Osammy and the far left libbeys repubs will be swept back into congress to fix things again.
The republican party needs to go and dig its self a cave in a mountain and stay their. Before this family ever votes republican again they need to get away from the religious fanatics, abortion issues, gay rights, and the list goes on and on. They are a bunch of idiots just like the one in the white house now and his cronies Jim Hall Kansas City Missouri.
Jim,
polls show majority of americans are pro life and against gay marriage.
Timing was just perfect this time around for obama with economy issues. His abortion, gay rights, religion and patriotism views never came into question, which was definite positive for him.
Republicans seem old and out of touch. Time for me to look at moderate democrats to the future. I am guilty of voting for Bush two times so shame on me.
you dont have to be sorry or ashamed thatt you voted for Bush if you really voted with the belief that he was better than Al Gore or John Kerry. But you do need to understand that running America takes more than talking a good game which after 8 years you should know is not a Republican priority.
Jim you are right, immorality should rule the world....oops, lloks like it does now that Hussein is Commander in Chief...........BBBBAAARRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
The best thing about the Presidential election is the poor people have a chance again
