Hey ya'll, a sound bite from reality here. President-ELECT Obama has had 48 hours to let this sink in, 48 hours to begin a TRANSITION process.
So please, if you want to effigize (new word I think, but descriptive from a practical reason) I am not a troll, not a war monger, but I have been accused of being pragmatic.
The thing that has ALWAYS pissed me off so much about Republicans is how many damned single issue voters they have. Abortion, Taxes, Guns, Religion, Deregulation..... people who weren't voting for america, they were voting for a single damn purpose, and disrespecting the voting system in my eyes.
Now, we have to face some reality and pragmatism here. Right now, half this place is screaming about how "CLINTON MEMBERS ARE TAKING OVER THE TRANSITION TEAM"....
Think about this. THEY have done time in a real administration, they know what to expect, THEY went through a transition process themselves and no the hurdles and pit falls that will be faced.
"So, I am about to be president, and I need a transition team? Who would make the best people to give me the best chance to transition to be the leader of the free frickin world?? Do the democrats know anyone who's been there done that to help me get STARTED??"
"Why yes, and these guys, are still around to boot... AND they are Democrats.. neat idear huh?"
The man (Obama... so maybe I mean THE man) has chosen how many people to be in his cabinet/staff???
4.. thats it, total, finito as of this writing.... FOUR
Joe Biden Vice President
Emanual Chief of Staff. (and sounds like the perfect person for that job)
David Axelrod Policy advisor. (another GREAT choice)
Robert Gibbs White House Press Secretary. (uh.. was communications director.. somewhat obvious)
The rest are advisors, the rest are to help with transition. Change means alot, and the people working in any administration tend to follow the presidents agenda.
I have told many people, I am voting for Obama, because I believed he was the BEST canidate for the job. I also asked them why they are voting for someone. Anyone who votes, I believe should vote FOR something, not against.
SO, did the people of these forums vote FOR Barack Obama and believe HE has the judgement to KNOW what the hell he is doing, and we should trust him? (this is my position)
Or did you vote AGAINST John McCain?? Cause if all you did was vote against McCain, then shut up and go back to your corner, cause you arent a democrat or progressive, you are a single issue voter and an anti-republcain voter. And you might as well have stayed home.
