You left out "mandatory

Obama will at least make it convenient
I'm confident that the Obama administration will make things simple, and we'll have one stop 'shopping', where you'll be able to
Hey...it's all that ...
thin air out there in Colorado. Their brains are oxygen-starved. Pretty soon they'll be drooling in their oatmeal and "looking at all the pretty colors!"

We are doomed
Obama is a socialist pig who just wants to tear this nation apart! When Obama anounced he was running for president all I thought was "here comes the next Jimmy Carter"...I was wrong, this guys the next Adolf Hitler!All Obamas going to lead to is Communisim, And peole have to be crazy to vote for someone who has had no background in the military!Johb McCain isn't the greatest thing to walk this earth either,but at least he's fought and knows how it is to face the enemy,the only time Obama wants to face the enemy is when he meets them for some party,..I really wish the New York Times would release that tape of Obama giving a speach to those terrorists then maybe people would see they are about to elect the worst president this country could ever have!
Poor Scared: I know just how
Poor Scared:
I know just how you feel.
Eight years ago, I was afraid a Bush administration would mean we'd see a sharp increase in terrorism, including attacks inside the USA; the beginning of endless, bloody overseas entanglements; disastrous environmental policies; the destruction of our economy; a corrupt, ineffective educational policy; the politicization of the Justice Department; an increasingly authoritarian judiciary and a continued slide toward theocracy.
Crazy, wasn't I?
Two corrections
There's plenty of places I could correct you, but I'll let others join the fun, and just correct you twice.
Oh, and one general bit of advice... learn to spell.

Farewell, democracy,
You're leaving?
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

I'm looking at the electoral
I'm looking at the electoral map and I see creeping blue, with some big red splotches left behind. The message of this election is: get on board the future of America -- we can do it with you or without you, your choice.
PLAY BY THE RULES
Its easy to win states when you don't play by the rules...
lets see...Obama going back on his word on public financing
Voter fraud in at least 11 states
The biased media
and on and on
I wonder how obama would have done if the tables had been turned? Who is really the hyprocrite?
PLAY BY THE RULES Wow!
PLAY BY THE RULES
Wow! Sounds pretty serious. You should alert the Justice Dept.
I would
I would if I could...I'll check back with you in 4 years and see if you're still drunk on the Obama kool-aide.

I must also add this
I must also add this observation. I took Obama's victory speech message of reconciliation to heart. I feel that this is not the time to be rubbing anyone's nose in it, because that's not the way forward.
But as we are seeing here and elsewhere, and as we have seen time and again, you can't negotiate with dead-enders.
Which is why I like this story currently making the rounds...
Obama's Knife-Wielding Political Killer
Obama may be bringing a knife to the gunfight, but he's also bringing out street fighters and the long knives to whittle away the dead-enders. It's now up to the dead-enders to decide whether they want a role in future history, or instead prefer being an embarrassing footnote.
Damn, I can't believe I just wrote that. But you get the idea.
Remember, remember The 4th
Remember, remember
The 4th of November...

Obama wouldn't be able to join the FBI due to his ties to Bill Ayres, yet he has become President. How weird is that?

Knowing is one thing,
Knowing is one thing, associating is another. You're not the only person to have passed a federal background check.
Lots of people can pass a
Lots of people can pass a background check done by the FBI. However, passing one for an employment position with the FBI and having associations with "radicals," would be a hindrance to getting a job with them. There are two different issues here and that should be clarified.
So, then, what if someone
So, then, what if someone had been an actual member of the Socialist Party of America? Does that qualify them as having radical associations? Does that disqualify them from a position requiring access to sensitive information?
If you answered "yes", then congratulations, you just disqualified Jeane Kirkpatrick from serving as Reagan's Ambassador to the United Nations.
Honesty is the key factor
You're exactly right.
I've been through a background check, too, and what matter is
And for what its worth, one web site (politifact or factcheck, not just some blog) I saw that discusses the "no security clearance for Obama" claim says that not only would Obama's past associations not be an issue, the Federal agencies would be thrilled to have a bright, Harvard educated attorney apply there. They wouldn't reject him; they'd fight over who gets to hire him.
Not true
That's not true, and, unlike you, I can actually provide a citation to back it up.
Why don't we ask the FBI
Why don't we ask the FBI about it?
Yeah, right
I am sure the FBI would just love to comment on the President Elect's ability to get a job there.
I know that Bush administration has convinced you wingnuts that politicizing non-partisan Federal agencies is just fine dandy, but there are limits.
On the other paw, if you actually do call the the FBI, once they finish telling you to buzz off, why don't you also ask them if either of these two people would qualify for a job there
