Reich-wingers are already claiming: No mandate for Obama”

funny, coming from the 1% mandate crowd.

Go, PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!! (sounds SO good!)

Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Silly libs, mandates are for Republicans.

/snark

In all seriousness, can I just say how glad I am that people voted in recordbreaking numbers high enough to make the election so much of a rout that it clearly repudiates the Republican party, they couldn’t steal it, and no one can say Obama squeaked by.

Congratulations, America, you’ve got your sense back and you actually VOTED!

To all the trolls out there, ESPECIALLY RaptureReady/Darryl (what happened to the Huckster there, pal? wasn’t he supposed to win since he was ordained by God or something?), PHUCK YOU, PHUCK YOUR IDEOLOGY, PHUCK YOUR ATTEMPTS TO SMEAR, LIE, AND OBFUSCATE, PHUCK YOUR ATTEMPTS AT VOTER SUPPRESSION, INTIMIDATION, AND OUTRIGHT THEFT.

To all the conservatives out there, the ones with brains in their heads, sense in their brains, and heart in their sense who voted for McCain…I can forgive you, but I will not forgive those you elected. I can work with you, but you have to be willing to work with me. I will try to refrain from anger, but you need to understand what it’s been like for 8 years being called a traitor, amongst other more nasty things, simply because I didn’t believe in George’s Middle East Funhouse Adventure.

Yes we can.
Yes we did.
And yes, we will continue.

I wish him and the Democrat Party the best of luck in undoing this mess.

Don’t agree with Wes Clark for Secretary of Defense. I think Obama needs to leave Gates there for now and some period of time. I wonder if Powell would come back into government for that position. That may be worth considering.

I wonder if Buffet would do the Secretary of Treasury stint. He would have a huge conflict of interest to deal with I would think and have to put his billions into a blind trust. I don’t have a name to suggest but I think this is an opportunity to engage the right person who might also have some experience in international banking. I don’t think our treasury issues are entirely our own; the international perspective is becoming more important.

I fervently hope that Obama will be truly bipartisan in his Cabinet selections. This is his first and greatest opportunity to show what can happen when you get the best people for the job instead of the kind of partisan hacks that we have suffered from for the past eight years.

More than that – we have to be open-minded and be willing to criticize this new incoming administration when we feel they’re capitulating to corporate interests, or not representing the will of the people who voted to put him there.

A mandate is not a blank check. It’s a contract, and it’s up to us – now that we’ve fulfilled our obligation – to ensure that the new administration fulfills theirs.

If Obama’s administration matches his man-of-the-people rhetoric, I like to think we’ll see a lot more responsiveness from Washington in the next four years.

Remember in 2004 the Bush commercial about how Bush had inherrited from Clinton a sinking economy and national security – and had it harder than any other president ?

Lieberman for dishwasher in the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Reich-wingers are already claiming: No mandate for Obama

Malkin has demanded that the first thing Obama do is apologize to the wingers whose feelings were hurt by Obama supporters during the campaign.

It seems like the good Reverend’s dream is finally coming to be a reality.

Wes Clark for Sec/Defense

Buffet for Sec/Treasury

…feel free to join in…

The job’s only half done… now comes the fun part.

Congratulations, World!

Yeah, I’m very surprised at this. As surprised as I was when the sun rose this morning.

That’s why I’m glad Obama stated in his speech last night that he was going to be President of the entire United States, not just the 52% who voted for him. That’s a refreshing change…
