Barack Obama has seen the light. The security briefings that he has been given have shocked his world. President-elect Obama now knows that there is a 99.9999% possibility of a nuclear weapon detonating in an American city during his tenure. Kinda puts everything else into perspective, eh?

Obama will give the orders but only after he can reduce opposition to a whisper. He will also drop blame for error on appointees.

It would certainly be ironic. Pres Bush ran as a R and govenered like a tax and spend D. Barack runs as a D and appears to want to govern as an R. I guess all Americans will get a chance to be disappointed in the candidates they voted for.

I don't think we've ever seen, in the history of US politics, a candidate that's been a radical leftist for his entire adult life and career (including during the campaign, for the most part), and then moved to the right after winning the election. I'm with Tony on this...

Blankley, why do you and the right-wing stooges here continue to try to use the "alien" and "strange" memes on Obama? The President=Elect could not have been more open and frank about exactly what he intends to do. I know the prospect of a measured, reasoned, intelligent foreign and domestic policies have you and others like you quivering in your lace panties, but you have to give up your addiction to terror: It's a new day. We don't have to be afraid any more, even if you're Republicans; we can move forward with confidence in our Government. We have a man in charge who was a Constitutional-law professor, and who cares deeply about America, rather than his political party or his donors. To GOP Conservative hacks like you, that must be beyond unbelievable.

Can I get a glass of wellstones kooklaid! Wasn't it just a short time ago BO said the constitution had flaws, and he was willing to place judges who would help "correct" those flaws. I'm not sure why I even bother to read Wellstone's comments anymore. It's much like the pablum that comes from Truthseaker.

The Three (left-wing) Stooges, Obama, Reid and Pelosi can only do what we allow them to do. Lucky for America the people usually catch on pretty quickly. So if Obama manages his "measured, reasoned, intelligent foreign and domestic policies" (quit laughing), and we end up in Carterville again, I am confident we the people will take the appropriate action.

I'm not sure why anybody assumes he has a plan at all. It seems to me his only goal was to get elected and worry about what he would do if he won later.

What a mean-spirited article. Some of us are bracing for the change we DO believe in.

OBAMA'S DEMOCRAT PARTY VERSUS KIDS One of the key tests for the new Obama administration will come in an arena that is key to America’s future: EDUCATION, as noted at this link: http://greensrealworld.blogspot.com/2008/12/obamas-democrat-party-vs-kids.html

Tony has warned us about this Thug seemingly a million times. He is right. The appointments are only a front to the eventual traitorous takeover of our government by Islam and its terrorized supporters with Obama as the autocrat leader. Rumblings of doing away with the third term constraint will be heard. There is enough evidence to impeach Obama as a traitor right now beginning with his falsified birth certificate. I predict there will be blood in our streets before his first term is up as there will be violent cries for his ouster met with a violent internal response by our own military against its own people. Obama has been quoted to have an internal military force the equal of our military. What better force than using the military itself. Even Bush is helping him in that regard.

Tony, It is time for you to check yourself into a secure facility where you can bunker down for the next eight years. America has waiting for a long while for a President who has plans and an agenda that speaks to ‘We the People’.
