Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet.

    Are you Kidding Me????

    I have a simple criteria.

    Dont be a Republican.

    Dont be an Idiot.

    Dont be GW Bush or Cheney.

    Obama meets that and then some.

    56 days until we divest ourselves of the worst president in the history of anything with a list and some of us are NIT PICKING.

    WHO is he supposed to pick? A local grocer? Your newspaper boy? You?

    I expect him to be thoughtful, intelligent, and have a method to his plan. You know all the things we spent 8 years on our knees at night praying for???

    Do you want Bush back? Missing McCain/Palin?

    Now comes the serious buisness of GOVERNING.

    Calming the markets- you know, the NO DRAMA stuff?

    Can you wait until January 21 to start whining and wetting yourselves?

    Take this time in the holiday season to thank the gods for this opportunity for change.
