Congratulations Barack Obama!

I'm hoping Obama will surprise everyone. He not only has to try and fix Bush's messes, he will be the standard every African American who runs for president in the future will be compaired to. I'm sure he will be the best president he can possibly be.

I realise that some are doubtful of this man, but I'm convinced he is the
real deal. Obama is intelligent,thoughtful, and cares about ALL Americans.

He will carry a heavy load because of the mess that the outgoing
goverment leaders left us, but I believe he is up to the job. He will
be a great role model for young men & women.

I noticed today during his press conference, he didn't let them rattle him. He seems to want to take his time and look into things and all possible solutions before he acts, not just jump in gun ho and make things worse.

I hope you all are right.... But, given the state of the economy, he is going to have to break campaign promises. Unless he is REALLY a Marxist.

They key is, will he really raise taxes on big biz and he rich? This includes his plan to steal money from Oil Companies and give it to us, then call it a $1000 tax 'rebate'.

For him to succeed... He will have to be a man he has NEVER been. I hope he can do it.

FWIW, Picking John Kerry (aka, Lurch) for Sec of State....

Oh, did any of you catch that he had to apologize for a stupid remark... Already? LOL

Puck, I think he has a way to go to break a few "mistake" records.

No matter who was elected, taxes will need to be raised somewhere to cover the wall street bail out! I'd rather the big companies who caused lots of this pay the most to get bailed out. It will take a while to fix the mess we are in. We didn't get into it in one day and we won't get out of it in one day. I think we are talking years here, no matter who the pres is.
