		<description>I agree that Obama will laugh off any effort by us serfs to influence policy.  He&#039;s going to be untouchable the next four years.  Congress, on the other hand, can be made to listen to demands to cut off war funding.  If that happens, then why care who the Secretary of Defense is?

Recall that it was intense pressure on Congress that resulted in the House voting down the Billionaires&#039; Bailout proposal.  Of course once the trough was cynically sweetened with all kinds of unrelated goodies for everyone, the House went wobbly and the bailout did pass.  The point is that if enough constituents pressure their representatives relentlessly, the House members will listen and they do control the purse strings.

Our most effective weapon is the threat to vote out the members of the House every two years.</description>

		<description>I told countless fu**ers that this O&#039;Bombya was one and the same with the GOP, a tad less bellicose and nasty but otherwise still REPUBLICAN LITE.

he hired Rahm Emanuel, a known MOSSAD OPERATIVE to be his Chief of Staff.

considers Jaime Gorelick, a known &quot;9/11 Truth suppressor&quot; if there ever was one, as his head
of the DEPT OF JUST US, now headed by Bush lackey and stooge Michael Mukasey.

and he wants to keep Robert &#039;mule dick&#039; Mueller, another co-conspirator from Sept. 11, 2001 &#039;INSIDE JOB&#039; by the Govt., in power.

I don&#039;t know how anyone can conceivably expect less than 4 more years of disgusting transgressions against Civil Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and lastly, a foreign policy that resembles a CLUSTER FUCK BY DEMONICALLY POSESSED HYENA&#039;S????

I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t vote for O&#039;Bombya, he&#039;s proven to be too tied to A.I.P.A.C. and the C.F.R. for my liking, and represents ZERO CHANGE if he keeps going with these jackasses he is bringing into his cabinet.</description>

		<description>James,

I&#039;m with you most of the way.  Can&#039;t agree with the off-shoring bit, however.  Any government that has the power to dictate where a company can operate and who it can employ is one powerful enough to do all the other things we despise.

The parasite is killing the host.  The answer is for the government to get out of the way.  It has screwed up things for far too long.  Must we wait until there is a complete economic meltdown before people understand this?

And don&#039;t look for Obama to change anything.  The propaganda notwithstanding, nothing is going to change with Obama and his cronies running the show.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Making further suggestions only aids them
in thwarting our will.&lt;/i&gt;

Exactly.  I wonder if reverse psychology would work here:  Maybe we should flood the Oval Office with letters begging Obama to retain Gates as SecDef, citing the stellar job he&#039;s done in that position to date and painting a picture of him as a man of unique strategic vision.  Any indication that Gates has popular support should result in Obama kicking him to the curb as if he were an AIDS-infected leper.</description>

		<description>To President Elect Barack Obama
We, the American People, elected you for what you promised...REAL CHANGE. 
Now, God Dammit, that is what we expect. REAL CHANGE!
To even begin thinking of making the changes that are needed you must decide to terminate Bush&#039;s agenda. Throw the whole damn lot out like dirty water.  Get rid of all traces of the Bush Administration lock stock and barrel. 
You must remove the AIPAC Lobby from its White House office...you promised no Lobby Group would run things in Washington...Keep your Word. Israel should not be running American foreign policy from this lobby group. American foreign policy should be geared to serve American interests, not Israel&#039;s.
You must absolutely make it understood that America is going to be a fair arbiter between Arabs and Jews.  America cannot favor just one side and expect an end to the conflict between Israel and its neighbors. Our one sided policy has caused America great harm and must be ended...NOW.
You must terminate this illegal and immoral war just as soon as possible. Bring our troops home and make sure they are given the care they deserve and need.
Talk to foreign leaders as you said you would and terminate for all time the Bush Doctrine, criminal as it is.
Work to bring a manufacturing base back to American shores and stop the off shoring of our jobs to foreign labor. If this is not done America will never recover...not ever.
America cannot borrow its way out of this nightmare nor can we borrow our way to prosperity.
In short Mr. Obama...we elected you to make changes. BIG CHANGES.  Keep your word</description>

		<description>Do you really think sending sending Obama that silly little E-mail is going to influence his decision on how many troops to keep in Iraq?   Obama has already caved on illegal spying by the NSA and it looks like he is about to cave on the issue of torture.  You Obama supporters should face the facts that Obama is going to be a murdering, torturing, warmongering criminal just like George W Bush.  The fact that he has a &quot;D&quot; after his name does not make it anyless immoral.</description>
