Since the PD website is rather pathetic in covering our new president elect and his new Obama nation, I am going to post a local blog that covers such quite timely and which no matter how many times I request it, Jo and the Editorial Page refuse to link to it, which should tell you something right there: http://www.gatewaypundit.blogspot.com
Maybe one day there will be a Fairness Doctrine for the newspaper business too.

Centrist,
Most Americans (however they voted) really want to see Obama do well because our country needs it. I think the post is doing an excellent job trying to cover the Obama transition and all the issues that face our country.
The link you posted has something about two members of code pink in Iran and tries to make a weak connection to Obama and his goals as president. That is not news, it is simply a blog of a right-wing individual who unlike most Americans, would rather see Obama fail and have his/her opinion of Obama vindicated then to have Obama and our country, succeed.
Frankly, you should be thankful that the post dispatch provides a space where you can provide a link to that ridiculous dribble you call news.

Richard - I agree, most Americans want to see Obama do well. Or more precisely, we want to see our nation do well during the Obama administration. While some may expect it, none of us want to endure four years of economic and international chaos as we did under the worst President in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter.

On the other hand, there are many of Mr. Obama’s policy initiatives which many of us hope will fail. Obama will attack the rights of gun owners in any way the court will allow. He will work to prohibit states from enacting any regulation whatsoever on abortion providers. He will seek to vastly increase the public role in healthcare. He will seek to implement environmental rules which many believe will harm our economy. And he will work to strengthen the hand of organized labor, which spent a fortune supporting his candidacy. In all this, he will have a supportive and admiring Congress. In a centrist America, this leftist agenda for governing will not be popular.

Richard, where did I say I don’t wish PE Obama well? I just hope the man doesn’t destroy our country and take away our Constitutional freedoms and our civil liberties. And I am simply requesting that PD cover the new Obama nation as closely and critically as it covered the Bush administration. Is that so much to ask?

I pray for the safety of this my country now every day. God’s providence is the only way we will get through the next four years.

I have trued to explain this several times already and it looks like I will have to continue to do so for some time yet.

See Obama do well? Oh heck no! Not a day, an hour or a minute. The left gave no such ‘honeymoon’ to Bush they attacked him from election night all the way to today. Before 9/11 and after. Before Iraq… This, POS Obama will get not one minute of rest or peace from me.

Obama is the New Coke of American politics… nobody knows anything about him only that they have been told that ‘you’ll love the new taste!’

In fact that POS Obama spent two years telling anyone that would listen that Bush is a the root of all Evil.

No, no honeymoon from me! Screw him

American Music Awards is really cool; so is the Mentalist.

so is Annie Lennox.

tsquare,

Don’t stoop to that level.

The extremists that attacked G.W. bush from the beginning had no interest in seeing this country do well. They had but one agenda; to gain power for themselves.

Stand strong when Obama makes poor decisions, but wish him the wisdom to succeed -for the good of America and the world.

Save your anger.

As Aristotle said: “Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power, that is not easy.”

Hey tsquare, You better pray a little faster jesus is watching you my son!

T-to-the-2,

Am I hearing that the “Country First” attitude that was the basis of the McCain campaign? Do you pray there are soup lines and even higher unemployment? The suffering of your fellow countryman means nothing to you as long as it makes Obama look bad?

I think the comparison to 2000/2001 is hardly equal. Many were upset about the lack of clear winner and the supreme court deciding to put an end to things (recounts). I don’t think we have anyone (maybe some extremist kook) who is claiming they feel as if this election was stolen from them. However, that sentiment reigned after November 2000 (right or wrong, it still was the reasoning).
