Will Deacon Blues regale us with more clever, loaded, bitterly worded rhetorical questions?

Posted by Seven of Six at December 23, 2008 10:17 AMWhat will Obama actually do in Iraq with Bush’s SecDef already cementing in place a long-term presence there, mainly to hold the oil and act as a bulwark against the Iranians, instead of building a regional security and economic compact focused on eliminating Al Qaeda?
Will Obama take a strong stand to stop any further TARP giveaways to Wall Street, and refocus the remaining money to Main Street as part of a major new domestic stimulus package of well over $850 billion?
We're not leaving Iraq and Obama is pro-big business/military. We warned you.
Posted by donna darko at December 23, 2008 11:24 AMI don't think anyone cares who delivers the opening prayer for Obama's inauguration. "Good luck, and God bless ya."
Regarding his appointments, I've been researching his appointment to the Dept of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu.
Very excited about this appointment. Dr. Chu is a "staunch advocate of nuclear power."
I think with a pro-nuclear power Democrat in charge, maybe we'll finaly silence those ninnies at the Sierra Club and get moving on nuclear power.

So do France, England, Russia, China, India, Australia, ...
I like my odds.

Posted by skeptic at December 23, 2008 01:07 PMObama's first term will be like the primary. Closed to the press, sound bites fed to them ('president-elect' already adopted and swallowed), sneaky, deceitful and more of stabbing the base in the back. My paper calls Bush 'Bush' and Obama 'president-elect.
Women are probably next. He's going to put a pro-business judge on the SC and just might sneak in an anti-abortionist - just to show how unified he is and oh, so like Lincoln.
