As the giddy minions gear-up for "President-elect" Obama's news conference today and the transition of power over the coming weeks, what is your view of the new "President-elect"?
Do you consider Obama "Your President"? Will you partake in past conventional acceptance and show respect for him holding such Office? or.. will you decide to not support him as President?
Personally, I do not consider him my "President". Obviously, this pains me because as an American I would want to feel great about supporting whomever is duly elected. But Obama was pushed through, in my opinion, not vetted - just shuffled through the process by the Liberal Press (lamestream media). He was NEVER challenged on the negatives of his associations and never even specifically took the time to answer questions on his Birth Certificate or to answer the Flag pin controversy or his 'hands at his waist' during the National Anthem. The largest issue of divide is his stance on abortion. Secondly is his liberal influence which terrifies me in how he might handle the placement of Judges on the Supreme Court and the many other, but still critical lower Courts. Thirdly is how he might dilute the Military and mishandle the War.
Who is this President-elect to you?
Is he "Your President"? If so...........why? And, if not..............why not?
No. I don’t support communism in any form.
That is like asking if Jeremiah Wright is my pastor? I'm an American, so NO. I'm a Christian, so NO again.
Marxist Socialism is not in my American DNA. I cannot support a Marxist Socilist Dictator who may possibly be a Muslim. If Abu Barak al Hussein bi Obama turns out to be not a Musliim, not a Marxist Socialist, then I'll reconsider.
Not holding breath at this time.
I plan to be very, very patriotic.
I told a liberal friend, I promise to give President Obama 10% more respect than his side gave President Bush. He didn’t like that arrangement.
I’m with you all the way!
No, I do not consider him to be my president. I don’t support communists.
OK. Point made and taken. But you also know my point.
Of course he is. Assuming he’s actually an American citizen. The “not my President” schtick is for imbeciles and liberals (and the vast grey area in between).
I agree with your comments. The only tweak I would make is to remind the Obama team, the MSM, and the communist professors at our universityies of the following. Obama got 61 million votes. McCain got 55 million. Obama didn’t receive an overwhelming mandate to remake this nation.
Tweak at will. Do not try to make this the U.S.S.R.
Obama should be under the same directive our Presidents have been under for the last 50 years that I am aware of. He should reach out. He should moderate his tone. He should be willing to work with Republicans to improve this nation.
Anything less, and it’s a complete abandonment of the same rules the Republicans were demanded to play by. And when that didn’t work, who got blamed?
We’ll see.
Ummmmmmmmmm no :(
Give me a break, not with that middle name.
Do you accept this newbie as "your" newbie?
He will be the president after he is sworn in. I have no respect for his ideas and doubt I ever will. As for the man himself - let God judge him as I am not qualified for that (definitely above my pay grade).
He will be when he is sworn in, Im not happy about it but its the office that he won. Now I beleive its every Americans duty to respect the office yet to respect more the constitution..
If he’s sworn in on January 20th, he’ll be my (and our) president. He’s got some strong ideas, and I’d like the implementation of these ideas to start with him.
For instance - I plan to contact my congressman and ask that congress pass a new law, stating that the position of POTUS is a minimum wage position, effective 01/20/2009.
He’s worked hard to get where he is. But surely he’s not under the simplistic and misguided notion that he’s entitled to be compensated for his level of achievement.
I don’t know who the hell the guy is!!!
So to answer your question.....NO!
No. He can go F*!k himself. It would take me more time than I have right now to thoroughly express why I feel this way but I can offer the 80,000 foot view like this:
He is a baby murderer, a socialist and a friend to terrorists. We are not on the same side nor can we be.
