I think I saw the drug dealers across the street rejoicing about the MJ question as well ;)

And for that record, that was not a comment on Obama - it was a comment on my state's ballot questions.

I think we must remember that it is God that holds the heart of the king in His hands.Obama run s through Gods hands like water and God will do with him whatever He wants.We must pray for Obama.

I agree that we shouldn't question people's patriotism simply because they oppose a president and/or his policies. Still, there are those on the Left who genuinely despise America's identity and values. Their patriotism isn't in question, really. They have none.

Agreed Mensley and an important reminder. Thanks.

Wow. Really good concession speech. I probably would've cried if I'd watched it last night.

I want to see if the President-elect can deliver. I worry less about him than Sens. Biden and Reid and Speaker Pelosi. I am not sure if there will be any true bipartisanship in his cabinet yet.

I was sharing with a friend that I was worried that the entrenched, hard core, long time Democrat partisans will want to push Obama around. He isn't some young whipper snapper but ... in relative terms... he is young and inexperienced.

Maybe Chicago politics toughened him up for the games he is about to become the center of.

HI JACK!

oh and yes... all eyes are on who he picks to be on his cabinet.

Hi Randy! Perhaps this is why the President-elect has chosen a partisan figure as his possible chief of staff. It might stop, meanwhile, any of the senior Democrats from pushing President-elect Obama into certain positions. I am trying to read this as positively as possible, because on the flip side one could say that this choice is a harbinger of the partisanship in an Obama cabinet.

Given his track record, he has never been one to be a harbinger of bipartisanship. He says that he wants to be ... we will see.
