http://wwPresidentialvote.blogspot.com CHICAGO President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden officially announced key members of their national security team today: nominating Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, selecting Defense Secretary Robert Gates to remain as Secretary of Defense, nominating Eric Holder as Attorney General, nominating Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, nominating Susan Rice as Ambassador to the United Nations and selecting General Jim Jones, USMC (Ret) as National Security Adviser.In this uncertain world, the time has come for a new beginning a new dawn of American leadership to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, and to seize the opportunities embedded in those challenges. To succeed, we must pursue a new strategy that skillfully uses, balances, and integrates all elements of American power: our military and diplomacy; our intelligence and law enforcement; our economy and the power of our moral example. The team that we have assembled here today is uniquely suited to do just that. They share my pragmatism about the use of power, and my sense of purpose about Americas role as a leader in the world, said President-elect Obama.

Dec 1, 2008 - I feel sick. Team of Egos, Team of Centrists, who only care about their personal ambitions and now been given the power by President Obama to backstab him. Why does Obama want so much conflict, egos & mistrust in his Whitehouse??Does Obama know that choosing so many DLC/AIPAC/AEI War-hawks in his cabinet will do nothing but make Americans lose the trust they had for him & his promises. Why does Obama want to lose his base of voters (Progressives, Left-wing)Gates & Jones supported McCain.

Dec 1, 2008 - the reply is very simple: because he is a puppet! a pawn! BUT african Americans voted according to race and NOT issues, they screwed up the USA and the world, and now everyone has to suffer...
rbguy Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - fyi...African Americans are only 15% of the total number of people that voted... an overwhelming majority of the people who voted for him were...*drum roll*...white...
AngelosandSatan Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - you are ignorant; they are the second largest "minority" (which they are not anymore metaphorically or literally) after the Hispanics and the Whites constitute in reality a "minority" in the American population when it comes to numbers: hence, do the math, and you will see who was the "majority" that voted for Obama in reality!
rbguy Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - dude,75% of this freaking country is white,how do you expect African American vote by ITSELF won Obama his presidency,he won by 52.7% popular vote...if every single African American voted for him,what does that leave us with? More non-African-Americans? Please review 2nd grade math. Also, 74% of the electoral vote was again...White...one other thing...an equal (if not more) number of racist whites voted for McCain just because he's white (mostly uneducated/ignorant whites).
rbguy Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - ...The bottom line is, more AMERICANS voted for the guy and he is going to be in power and there is nothing anyone can do about it...peace

Dec 2, 2008 - Apparently the platform of "Change" really means "More of the same crap." Really. Between these appointments and the financial ones (NY Fed as head of US Treasury?!? Unbelievable.) I doubt the framers of the Constitution would even recognize the bastardization of government we have now (this includes the last 7.5 years of high treason: Bush did not uphold the Constitution as he swore twice to do... but that is another story.) America wanted change. Not happening.

Dec 2, 2008 - President-elect Obama received so many NON-youth votes (and votes from all gender, races & backgrounds, he also received highest number of White votes in modern US election history), even if Obama received NO votes from anyone under age 30, Obama would still be elected US President (Obama had far more Older votes (30+ voters) supporting & voting for him than McCain). In total Obama received 68 MILLION US Votes (Highest Votes Received by a US Presidential Candidate/President-elect in US History)

Dec 2, 2008 - 60% of whites voted for OBAMA, 94%-96% of blacks voted for OBAMA. Whites VASTLY outnumber Blacks in this country, so who really put him in office?94% of Blacks in America voted for Bill Clinton (WhiteCandidate), 88% of blacks in America voted for Al Gore (White), 86% of Blacks in America vote for John Kerry (White). Blacks ARE NOT Racist, and very few blacks voted for PResident Obama just because he was black.

Dec 1, 2008 - Barack Obamas true, chauvinistic, racist, misleading, dishonest colors were revealed when he deliberately rode the BLACK myth, fueled by a racist frenzy, into the WHITE HOUSE. Muslim, Christian, hah - once a lawyer always a lawyer.
