In Barack we trust?

Obama campaigned on his personality and judgment and won. Now, like it or not, he isn't beholden to anyone.

    BULL-ONEY

    SO far I feel Obama has made the right choices...this is no time to bring in people that have no idea how Washington works...Hello?...The country is in a real crisis....8 years of Bush, remember?...As a people we do not have the luxury of giving an administration time to settle in, learn how things work and make mistakes while learning...This admin has to hit the ground running and Obama having people around him who know how the game is played is crucial...I feel comfortable that Obama knows what he wants to do, and has picked seasoned experienced people who can implement it....I do not think this guy will let ANYTHING get away from him....

    I voted for a direction, not an ideology...

    I voted for Brains, not dogma...

    I voted for someone I feel can think on his feet and change as circumstances change..not a rigid adherence to campaign slogans...

    I also voted for someone who doesn't take office 'til January 20, 2009...let's dump the moron first and give Obama a shot before we start tearing him down...
