Wow, when you use the search box - it makes you wait 15 seconds between searches - I haven’t seen that since the 80’s on the net - are they trying to revert the carbon footprint of the site to 80’s level too?

Anyone notice how nothing is mentioned about donating time in Church under “America Serves?”

Fixed the website.

I applied for a job! I’ll see if they want any libertarian-leaning/conservatives for their administration.

Of course, the new civilian security force will certainly be at the forefront to protect (cough, cough) the citizens against any terrorist attack on our soil. That’s because the Dems will slash the military budget so much that we won’t have a military left! Maybe Mr Ayers can advise President Obama on how to engage those terrorists in discussion rather than armed action.

My head hurts...I think I’m going to have a 4 or 8 yr long migraine.

Read “civil rights” below. What a nightmare. All those stupid blue collar whites voted for was a $500 welfare handout. And in return America, and American businesses, get the shaft, meaning they’ll get laid off in the end—unless Obama makes those illegal. It will certainly be illegal to ever fire a minority or female employee, based on what it says.

The Democrats are obsessed with the works programs of the New Deal under FDR, and are convinced that’s the way to get the economy going again. I heard Howard Wolfson bring it up again on O’Reilly the other night. I don’t think they understand that these things don’t work, however, if the government has no money to pay for them (and they really didn’t work that well under FDR, either). The only thing that will bring jobs over the long run back to this great nation are tax cuts and less regulation on small business.

“When you choose to serve — whether it’s your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood — you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That’s why it’s called the American dream.”

The American Dream is not to be forced to work for the government. Deconstruction at its finest.

hard to get a .gov domain

Some of Obama's biggest fundraisers were Network Solutions and Silicon Valley folks. Plus Bush is bending over and applying Crisco for Obama, so there is nothing he can't do.

Create a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank: The Bank will receive an infusion of federal money, $60 billion over 10 years, to provide financing to transportation infrastructure projects across the nation.

This is part of the secret REPARATIONS PLAN.

Google endorsed him. If your site is critical of Obama, don’t expect it to show up in search results

What’s the Office of the President Elect? Obama’s not the President Elect until the Electoral College meets and votes. How does this Constitutional lawyer doesn’t know this? And how did he get a .gov domain name?

I spent much of last night looking at the site. It is amazing what plans he has for using the people under the guise of “volunteerism”...;) (this is a partial list)

The Obama Administration will:

- expand AmeriCorps from 75,000 slots today to 250,000

- double the Peace Corps to 16,000 by 2011

- create a new Classroom Corps

- create a new Health Corps

- create a Clean Energy Corps

- create a Veterans Corps

- call on citizens of all ages to serve America

- require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school every year

- require 100 hours of community service in college every year

- encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55

- promote youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start

- create a program to directly engage disadvantaged youth in energy efficiency opportunities

- ensure that low-income Americans have transportation access to jobs

- create a prison-to-work incentive program and reduce barriers to employment

- raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011

- provide all low and middle-income workers a $500 Making Work Pay tax credit

- expand the highly-successful Nurse-Family Partnership to all 570,000 low-income, first-time mothers each year

- support guaranteeing workers seven paid sick days per year

- create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund to develop affordable housing in mixed-income neighborhoods

- create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation

- set up an America’s Voice Initiative to send Americans who are fluent speakers of local languages to expand our public diplomacy
