Talk, talk and more talk

Words can be meaningful, but talk can also be cheap. All that Obama has said, we have heard before. While I have never been a supporter of President Bush, much of what was handed to him was the failure of the past Clintons' administration, especially 9-11. I believe the majority of the people have hopes and prayers for the Obama presidency, and there will be necessary teamwork in both Houses of the Senate and Congress that will be advantageous for the people, but presently we see much the same finger pointing, and a sort of "get even" attitude amongst those elected to office. We desire seeing once again "Constitutional government of, for and by the people, and as the founder of our Republic said we must do so to preserve the Republic, we must "chain our elected representatives to the Constitution." The Supreme Court has given itself vast powers that were not to be had. No politician is above our Constitution and a government of, for and by the people. The past Clintons' presidency did not understand this, nor has the present Bush presidency, nor have our elected representatives understood this for far too many decades. Lasts, and certainly not least, the multi-billions of dollars bail out should have never been decided the responsibility of the government, for now is simply an added tax burden upon the people. Private industry should be the cure. Government can only tax, spend and recommend for in actuality it produces nothing. President Obama will need both prayer and considerable change in political Washington, and let us pray it to happen, for if not to do so, then we have but the continuance of Belshazzar's feast.

Mr. Obama's team of egos

Well, the man said that he listens to those who do no agree with him the most or will listen to those who do not agree with him the most. Perhaps this is why he is such a sharp thinker. He obviously knows what to listen to as well as what not to listen to. I have to admit that he has a lot of courage. We all could learn a listen from him as he obviously is not afraid to challenge his own ideologies.

strong opinions in the cabinet

I think this is a tackful move for Mr.Obama,we need strong personalities at this time in our nation's history in light of what we are facing,maybe they can get this scarey task done.

We can afford to appoint some inexperenced panty wasted politicians who are afraid to make decisions to move us forward no matter what it is.
