In Barack we trust?

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

    WAIT!

    Can we give the man a chance to accept the oath of office? Just because you see the same people being placed in a position does not mean that you will get the same results. We can't even wait until President-elect Obama really becomes President before we start to tear his coming position apart. I say wait and see what is going to happen. The people he has chosen will have to set their labors towards his agenda, not Clinton's. We could best spend this tranfer of title time better by concentration on the working to exact some punishment of this bunch of thugs leaving office. I think it is a crime that they and their pals are allowed to walk away with their pockets full and blood on their hands after all the evil they have done to this country and its citizens and not punished for their actions.
