He’s not been sworn in yet. Give him a chance. Politicians (and the media) are more concerned about the politics of governing than average Americans are. We’re tired of listening to the whining of politicians from both parties. We elected them to get things done, not to act like spoiled brats. Americans elected the next president to get us out of the mess W and crew left behind; to get things done. In order to do that he needs all Americans’ support, including Republicans. I think Obama understands that.

It would be a mistake for Obama to concentrate on social issues, the things Rove counted on to divide the country. He needs concentrate on the economy and lay the framework that will improve the majority of American’s current financial status; things that will affect our everyday lives.

You’re showing your bias Bob. The title to your post should have been: “Obama plays hardball”. He sets the tone of his administration with a controversial, partisan choice and you accuse the Republicans of playing hard ball? Ridiculous.

Now (assuming Obama finds his birth certificate and makes it to the swearing in) I will give him the benefit of the doubt going in. I hope that I am pleasantly surprised, but you have to start wondering about his judgement ability with this choice.

What are you guys worried about?

What you are about to see is what a GREAT leader Obama is and how Rahm Emanuel will be a great White House Chief of Staff under the leadership of Obama.

Emanuel and all the others who Obama appoint into positions will respect and follow Obama’s visions and promises made to us all during his campaign.

INCLUDING, TO HEAL THE DIVIDES! You ones are focusing on the politicians and their feelings, NOT THIS COUNTRY! Let’s not forget the message that the majority of the people and the electorate have shown our politicians, ITS ABOUT US AND WHAT’S BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY. I truly believe that the people have made these politicians believers of this FACT. So I think we can count on all the bad and ugly behavior and Karl Rove tactics to cease because only a FOOL would not see how it has backfired or shall I say boomeranged back to the throwers.

What a beautiful thing to witness take place, being in a new season where justice and goodness will prevail and ugly and unrighteousness fall down. We will see more and more of this as hearts continue to change.

Think,

Are you well, as in mentally balanced? If so, why are you rambling on like some crazy person about our President’s to be birth certificate?

D. Walker, it is called the constitution. Barack has not shown to WE the PEOPLE that he is CONSTITUTIONALLY eligible to be PRESIDENT! He just has to SHOW the full DOCUMENT. THAT IS IT! If it shows that he was BORN at A HOsPiTAl iN HAWIi, then ISSUE closed. It really is that simple.

Unless there is something that he IS HIDING…

Is this really all that hard? I am fine with him being elected and showing us what (damage) he can do. He just has to complete the prerequisites first.

D. Walker, his choice for chief of staff is quite an extreme, hard nose one to make. It does not set the tone that he promised — that being it would be a time for us to come together.

By the way, the ORIGINAL birth certificate, as it was typed in 1961 has been found. All Barry has to do now is go back to his home state, pick it up, scan it, and put it on the Internet. Oh wait, he better take that copy to the Supreme Court building too.

D. Walker - You’re the last person who should be questioning somebody’s sanity.

As far as the appointment of Emanuel … you can’t really blame him for choosing a Chicago liberal for this position. But if he’s serious about “changing the tone” he’d better show some balance.

Nick,

That’s my hope that those of your ilk think that I am insane, that verifies for me that I am on the right track.

You and Think can just go on in your La La distorted world believing that Obama is not a U.S. citizen even though he was born in the U.S. You guys look like a bunch of idiots and do not even have enough sense to care that you appear to be STUPID. Maybe because you are that STUPID, I don’t know are you? Or, are you just pulling our legs here?

Has any other man who was born in the U.S. with a birth certificate to prove it and witnesses been questioned about their citizenship?

What FOOLS you guys are. And because of those such as your selves and the insane zealous ideology bunch, (and mind you, not one of them love and worship God and is more thankful to both God and Christ more than I) of the Republican Party is the very reason your Party has been destroyed and is in shambles.

We Obama supporters thank your kind and thank God above for putting an end to all your Party’s craziness and confusion they have caused in our country and this world.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I hope that your Party (The Republican Party) including many who are part of the Conservative Religious Right will experience a true purification of your hearts.

Think,

You are obviously very pleased with being in blissful ignorance because the facts are that Obama has presented his birth certifificate, and the information is very simple to obtain and, didn’t you read where the law suit by the idiot claiming such foolishness was thrown out of court?

Here are the FACTS: CASE CLOSED!

One other thing,

If the Republican Party leaders had any sense or morals, they would have themselves put a stop to this non-sense being rumored and believed by some of their more mentally vulnerable followers.
