In Barack we trust?

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

    We Elected Him To Implement Real Change

    David's piece is nothing more than layers of pure B.S.. Obama was elected by the 'little people' out there, the volunteers, the contributors, the canvassers, the callers. We, put him in office and we expect real results. Thusfar, it does not look good as it appears that he has enabled Podesta, and other insiders, to appoint a Bush/Clinton cabinet. We, the people, he works for, will not permit him to screw this up.

    If he does, all that good will, that organization, those contributions, will disappear and he and his cabinet will be replaced!
