First order of business for Obama
- Thread starter Lineman
- Start date
I'm not sure if I like Obama anymore than Bush. I don't think Obama even mentioned Canada during his Campaign and I don't think he will be good for Canada even though we are each other's biggest customer. The old adage about a mouse sleeping next to an elephant is particularly true here. We bloody well better be ready if that elephant decides to roll over.
I read just the first line and I thought you were doing an imitation of Elmer Fudd. Suits you.His first order of business is to clean up eight years of right wing ruin.
A tall order since the GOP has totally screwed up America....it may take a few years but by 2012 I suspect the economy will be robust, they will be out of Iraq, solved Afghanistan, improved Americans access to health care and maybe, just maybe brought them closer to a surplus but I wouldn't expect that much in just four years.
We will see, but I have little doubt that the country will be put on firmer ground at home and abroad by the next election.
I'm so excited for Americans right now and I envy them, Obama brings hope out of despair. I wish we had a leader who looked to the future instead of the dogmatic idealogical religion of the cons in this country....perhaps one day we will be as progressive as the Americans.
The best part of this is going to be watching the Obama transition team slowly and meticulously scrub the white house clean of the slug and scum that currently resides there.:lol:
There you go again, trying to cya, right?
btw---before I miss you hiding somewhere doin' the ole `j-o`, there's a ten year difference in age between you and your much better half----so I wonder what you would have done if you saw her when YOU were eighteen and SHE was eight, what you would have done...no response req'd.
Well all things considered, he and McCain had a lot more important things to talk about in regards to fixing their own nation then in regards to how to pamper other nations such as our own..... that will come in time.
I'd rather they took the time to fix their own problems and get back on track then to fiddle around with us and other nations.
The economy...bottom line. If he gets the economy back on track he will waltz (more or less) through these four years and into the next four.
Dump the entire slate of Bush appointees and get some real professionals in those positions. The first to go should be Paulson and then the others. Those that have Henry Kissinger scent on them should be first. Any who are associated with the CIA should be next. That whole bunch has a certain stigma about them that is looked at with disdain by the rest of the world. I hope the chance for change really is a serious campaign promise.
"Your fellow citizens are the one's who enabled Bush to implement his agenda....."
I sure as hell didn't.
Therefore, we can issue bonds so that the pro war crowd can help pay for their war.

I think Obama's first order of business should be arranged before his inauguration. He should have the band play a hip hop version of the star spangled banner....just a thought....
I would like to see Colin Powell as secretary of defense, wouldn't want to see mcCain in the
cabinet at all, he is too 'old school', lives in the past with the military, hard liner, powell will
be a diplomat
Lady of the Island,
I just can't see Gen. Powell back. But stranger things have happened
scratch
That was a good article.
I found another link in their to a funny Palin story.

"Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus" (lol)
You're probably right, but it is possible, and he would remain a republican,
which would be very suitable, reaching across the isle, so to speak.
He would be a great secretary of defense.
What do you think of Hilliary as Secretary of State, she said the other day that she wouldn't
be interested as she wants to be busy serving as a senatar. (it was just a media person asking her.)
I just heard on the major US media that the legal advisor to Presdident elect Obama stated is the big dilema of what to do with the detainees at Guantanamo Bay. I really do applaud that decision. You can't just hold people forever without any hope of reviewing why they are being held and the statemant calls Guantanamo a "Hellhole." Probably not strong enough words to describe what I think is a Torture Chamber run by the US. There are others too on the globe. To me this is the kind of actions I have been hoping to hear about.
