This is really spooky. I'm not sure how to react to a president who is thoughtful, consults with qualified people who have differing opinions, and takes responsibility for policy. It's just.... weird.

wonderfully, wonderfully weird. :-D

Yes, Obama has confirmed where he was born, you just refuse to accept it because you're a fucking MORON. End of story.

[GFoot3000]

I know where you were born: Petri dish.

Don't forget: a privileging of Science as opposed to superstition, cooperation with our allies (instead of some fake coalition of the willing), a strong, effective justice department, etc., etc..

[bertinotti]

I suggest you wake up tomorrow, put on your pants, and get a fucking life.

Obama still hasnt confirmed where he was actually born. He was not born in Hawaii. He was just given a birth certificate for there. I don't get it. You must be born in the US to be the president.

How we make an ideal Turkey? We all know that Barack! People made an "IDEAL" Turkey on Nov 4th by electing YOU!

Gee drew8269 - I wonder which side of your mouth you'd be talking out of if he had just filled up his cabinet with people from some temp agency - now THAT would be change. And frankly, by definition, rolling back to some Clinton policies is change from the crap we have now. What were you expecting? A black Ron Paul to wipe out Washington and all Federal Agencies? What, seriously, is his hiring pool? Where would you find qualified candidates?

[drew8269]

Obama says he is all about CHANGE in Washington. If he is filling his cabinet with people from the Clinton Administration than that by definition is not change

Ohh no! Not Clintonistas! 'Cause it really sucked having a higher GDP, increases in middle-class wages, higher stock dividends, less unemployment, more new home purchases, a budget surplus and all those other totally sucky things. Damn those Clintonistas!

bedmasmath,

be glad you figured this out early - yours will be a VERY popular question within a year.

This guy is all smoke and mirrors, and public opinion of him has nowhere to go but down. The sooner people start "playing devils advocate" the better - idealistically and blindly buying every word he says will become something people will be ashamed of having done.
