   A sobering opinion. Though there is a liberal democrat in the WH, the “old guard” of democrats are still in control. Look for them to try controlling Obama as soon as he moves in.

   Good morning Mrs. Malkin, Saw this in one of the post last night but didn’t take the time to read it or go through it then. One part seemed real scary where everyone is required to perform community service. That is compulsory labor, who will be doing the enforcement of it, Obama’s Goons, the Black Liberation Army? Almost forgot I said I wouldn’t watch you on Fox this morning but after reflection I will tune in to watch , you deserve all the support you can get. You are always there for us, the least I can do is support you when I can.

   Michelle,

   Is it possible for you to secure an interview with Governor Palin and air it livestream here or over at hotair?
   There are so many of us who would welcome the chance to get her complete views, not McCains’ talking points, on the direction this country should go and her plans for the future. My hope is she would form an exploratory PAC for running on conservative values in the next Presidential election. It is never to early to start, we are in a battle for the very existence of our country and we need a leader and a voice that will be heard in these troubling times.

   Here’s and interesting one….

   Dont think the NRA will like this one.

   Sportsmen
   Barack Obama did not grow up hunting and fishing, but he recognizes the great conservation legacy of America’s hunters and anglers and has great respect for the passion that hunters and anglers have for their sport. Were it not for America’s hunters and anglers, including the great icons like Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold, our nation would not have the tradition of sound game management, a system of ethical, science-based game laws and an extensive public lands estate on which to pursue the sport. Barack Obama and Joe Biden recognize that we must forge a broad coalition if we are to address the great conservation challenges we face. America’s hunters and anglers are a key constituency that must take an active role and have a powerful voice in this coalition.

   Yes you can shoot, but you will have no where to shoot…looking our for conservation and all.

   Interesting. The author of the article seems to think that Obama is the centrist he claimed to be during the general election. Yet his track record indicates that Obama is far to the left of these “fearsome committee chairmen and liberal interest groups” that the author (Anonymous?) thinks will pull Obama to the left. Are they already preparing excuses for Obama’s “leftward lurch” when he takes—then promptly ignores—the oath of office?

    Why would they want that kind of information? Fund-raising yes!

    Can we also say ‘Flash Mobs’?

    Joe Trippi, the Internet politics guru whose computer geeks made Howard Dean a contender in 2004 and who went on to design Obama’s socially networked campaign machine, offers a provocative and educated guess.

    Trippi predicted that Obama would use his forces, first and foremost, to intimidate congressional foes of his agenda, rally his allies and forge “one of the most powerful presidencies in American history.”

    The president-elect’s political operatives know, for example, the ZIP codes and hence the congressional districts of each of Obama’s million most active campaigners, those who volunteered via his Web site mybarackobama.com. It’s a social network that the campaign set up to communicate needs, events and assignments to volunteers.

    Instead of e-mailing members of Congress, Gensemer continued, Obama’s most effective supporters will meet with them in their district offices and press them at local town hall meetings.

    Trippi offered a more dramatic scenario: “Obama will be able to say these are the 10 members of Congress standing in our way on health care. Basically, it’ll be the president and the people united, with some members of Congress in between, which won’t be a very comfortable place to be.”

    Can we see that conservative Democrats will be reluctant to stand in the way of ‘The One’ regardless of what he wants. The media will show up after being tipped off about the ‘angry protest’ and it will hit the MSM in full colour. The Democrat in question will likely buckle under and the others who might have been pondering standing in the way of ‘The One’ will wisely reconsider their position.

    This does smell like yet another Obama shakedown/scam site.

    I do have a problem with the opening of the industry exec’s otherwise fine query letter; It reads “To whom it may concern”.

    I think it’s always a good idea when writing to take some time to find out whom it may concern beforehand and bring it to his/her attention. Otherwise, it’s akin to consigning a missive to some circular file in the lowest depths Hades.

    The Acting Administrator of the GSA is Jim Williams, according to the GSA site.

    Also, here’s the contact list page at the GSA site:
    GSA – Contact US

    (Sorry, but using the “to whom it may concern” salutation is one of my countless pet peeves, lol.)

    EWTHeckman, I expect Obama to rely on the “old guard” to help him do a job he is completely unprepared to do. They will control him, because he has nowhere else to turn for advice and support. His cabinet will also try to control him. He’s a complete rookie with no real strong character in him.

    If I might humbly add to Michelle’s point, here is an excerpt from the Gov Internet Program Guidelines:

    1. The following applies to all Gov Internet domains:

    a. No non-Government Advertisements: A Gov Internet domain may not be used to advertise for private individuals, firms, or corporations, or imply in any manner that the government endorses or favors any specific commercial product, commodity, or service.

    b. No Political or Campaign Information: The Gov domain is for the operation of government, not the political, political party, or campaign environment. No campaigning can be done using Gov Internet domains. The Gov Internet domain websites may not be directly linked to or refer to websites created or operated by a campaign or any campaign entity or committee. No political sites or party names or acronyms can be used. Separate webites and e-mail on other top-level domains (TLDs), such as .org, will have to be used for political activity.

    change.gov “the office of the President-elect” is a private, political organization. Someone in the Obama-Biden campaign missed that memo.

    Does this (you fill in the blank with appropriate adjective/noun) not understand that the person who builds cars, is in fact serving the USA. The farmer milking cows or growing wheat is serving the country. The janitor cleaning offices is serving the USA. Sure they are getting paid for it – but it’s still serving. In fact, those activities serve the country just as much as the person offering time at the local “soup kitchen”. (NOT saying one shouldn’t help their either.)

    As has been deftly pointed out the other day: Obama is NOT “President-Elect”. Not yet. Not until the Electoral College meets and determines that the three qualifications are met by Mr. Obama. Not the least of which is the US citizenship requirement. It will be interesting if the college adheres to the Constitutional requirements or blows it off. They are also sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution, just like the President. There are MANY unanswered questions about Mr. Obama’s past/origin. Interesting times, these.

His words were: “And we’re going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

    It would be funny, were it not so scary. And yes, stupid voters, but I think a lot of the blame lies with the Obamedia. Last night I had a two hour “debate” (read: smackdown) with an intelligent person who voted for the POS. He didn’t know about the infanticide bill, the New Party, the 57 States, the tenets of Black Liberation Theology, and the list goes on and on. We have the media to thank for that, and yes, the stupidity of people who were too lazy to find out about who their messiah was on their own. The information was out there, you just had to be willing to find it. What IS funny is that this same individual said that he does not agree that we should take from a hard working person’s earnings and give it to someone else!?!? Unbelievable. BO is a master manipulator. Here in the NYC area we call his type a PLAYER.

    The only group that underestimated how difficult the chosen one’s transition to the leader of the free world is Barak and you children. When voter’s remorse sets in maybe you will ask for a do-over.

    Uh, sorry too late. This is why you should have kept score when you were toddlers running up and down a soccer field. There are actual consequences to your decisions. Unfortunately, the country has to suffer through your learning curve.

    The “Obama-Biden Transition Project” will be overseen by former White House chief of staff John D. Podesta; Obama friend and senior campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett; and Pete Rouse, Obama’s former Senate chief of staff and top campaign aide, officials said today. It will occupy offices in Washington and in a federal building in Chicago.

    Could be, Danish, but transition is a legit government function. What you’ve cited above would seem to pass my smell test, at least. The website Michelle is talking about here fairly reeks of fraud, though.

    Yesterdays briefing Obama’s first question was “What are the Climate Change Codes”?
    His kool-aid drinkers demand the Rain he promised them in the campaign and wants his first act to be successful.

    His next act will be a new Caddy for all Peggy the moochers paid by the government to save the U.S. auto industry. A gas card and free mortgage vouchers will be in the glove box.

    His plans to hand over the Nuke Football codes to Michelle O’ are a top priority. She promised not to fire them on the Bible belt.

    Biden will be assigned to Cuba, he wants some Havana’s… and will send him there to search for a cherry 57′chevy. (It’s a four year quest.)

    Michael Vick said he would donate a pit bull for the O’ kiddies. (Lipstick not included).

    Philly cheese steaks will be banned.

    4 year spay and neuter plan for whiteys will be a major campaign run by Drew Carry on the price is right.

    “travis” from aceofspades pointed this out to me in a thread.
    Emanuel: Time for a new contract with AmerAugust 20, 2006

    “…John Kennedy was right: A nation is defined not by what it does for its citizens but by what it asks of them. If your leaders aren’t challenging you to do your part, they aren’t doing theirs. We need a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us by establishing for the first time an ethic of universal citizen service. All Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 should be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic civil defense training and community service. This is not a draft, nor is it military. Young people will be trained not as soldiers, but simply as citizens who understand their responsibilities in the event of a natural disaster, an epidemic or a terrorist attack. Universal citizen service will bring Americans of every background together to make America safer and more united in common purpose…”

    I would never force one of my children to do this sort of garbage. And I’d have to work hard to prevent them from believing they have to, as well.

    I have volunteered for things in my community before, but i’ll be damned if i’m going to force someone else to do it against their will. If he wants these programs, then let him and his family get their rears out there and do the first 100 hours.

    I would like to know if anyone is organizing like they did. Political Correctness was instituted and enforced especially for Nov. 4, 2008. The plans of Obama were made 20 years ago with his Anti-American friends. These people use every chink and loophole to establish their agenda. They knew nothing would happen to them in the land of the free. When courts approved the buring of OLD GLory, the writing was on the wall. As a free nation we have let this happen to us, illegal immigration, Congress changing laws without out knowledge, and more. Bill Ayers and friends should have been shot by a firing squad as a traitorto the USA. 9-11 should have opened our eyes to the fact that our laxity over our freedoms is a weapon against us, it is the crack in door for this country to be taken over. In the future, a line must be drawn about peoples freedoms. When someone crosses that to inflict harm to the USA or it people is when those freedoms stop. How can we have traitors in this country with Political correctness in place. Once the Status Quo under Obama is in place we will be the radicals and militants.
