Predictions.........what will the New Admin change FIRST.

[GeoFisher]

What?.....Like actual ammount of time spent at work - that is left to be seen.

This really doesn't bother me.......you suppose YOU'D have some STRESS dealing with ALL the issues he has. AND for the record.......he may have took more vacations, but he also took more WORKING vacations than anyone else.

More Foreign cooperation and assistance with global affairs.

Don't CARE about more foreign cooperation and Assistance.......we've been the World's COPS forever......because the WORLD refuses to deal with people like SADDAM. AND we're safer because of it.

Getting rid of the crazy ammount of tax breaks/credits given to the top 5%.

CRAZY amount of TAX CREDITS? RIGHT. THE top 5% should not pay 50% of our TAX BILL......how about MAKE the 47 MILLION who don't pay taxes and get a 5-8 THOUSAND dollar subsidy called EARNED INCOME.......PAY TAXES.

Initiating a financial plan to help relieve some of our economic pressure (may or may not work, but some action is an improvement over none).

The Bailouts are the worse thing EVER......everyone involved should be lined up and SHOT.......including BUSH, including oBAMA, Including McCAIN.....etc, etc.

And with regards to this........Why don't we Make people like Dodd and Barney FRANK accountable for their part in the financial MESS. THEY controlled congress, THEY controlled the regulations that were NOT PASSED, they were the ones who said Fannie and Freddie were fine.......Don't take my word for it. Check YouTube for the COMPLETE UNEDITED CSPAN videos........YOU REALLY SHOULD, you might learn something.

Let's watch the approval rating - that is an indication of peoples opinions and respect for the position. Bush's was the lowest ever.

Lets not talk approval ratings.........Congress has the WORSE EVER also.........and Pelosi........Well, she has not accomplished anything in her career.

Pronounce the word NUCLEAR and not nucular (did you know that Bush and Homer Simpson pronounced that the same - let's not get into an intellectual debate between those two, that thread will last for at least 10 pages, and come to no official conclusion.

Nice SLAM.......You gotta love they way Libs cannot get their point across without calling someone a name, comparing them to a nazi, or a homer.........WHATEVER.

[GeoFisher]

Col I agree with you, but you cant open closed minds. The thing about narrowing down the war on terror means that we will go after the one who started this , OSAMA BIN LADEN

Bobby, it started a LONG time before OBL.........You forget about Beirut, you forget about Kobar, you forget, about the first WTC bombing, you forget about the Cole bombing, you forget about Gulf War I.......

These Radicals have been itching for a fight for a LONG, LONG time.......and it will not be over during Obama's watch.

You'd just BETTER hope that he doesn't allow it to come to our border again........like Clinton did.

Later,

Geo

It all boils down to pure RACISM and BIGOTRY. nothing else but hate. That is sad

There's prediction number one coming true, and he hasn't even been the President for a full day. I'll tell you what's sad Bobby, you playing the race card starting on day one of Mr. Obama's Presidency. Don't feel too special though, there's gonna be many many more race baiters right in behind you.

I don't care what color the President of the United States' skin is, I'll show him the respect the office deserves, which is a heck of a lot more than the rabid Bush hating name callers have done. I'll also disagree with Mr. Obama or any other politician as often as I want with a clear conscience.

[DJD]

Col I agree with you, but you cant open closed minds. The thing about narrowing down the war on terror means that we will go after the one who started this , OSAMA BIN LADEN, like we should have, he will get us out of Iraq, we should have never went there in the first place, Bush even admitied that there were no weapons of mass destruction there, Bush should and could be charged with war crimes as he invaded a nation with unjust cause, Bin Laden got what he wanted, they struck the towers, which were a tribute to our finaceal success, the thing the Terrosits despise in us, and it worked, the war in Iraq has helped fuel our countrys money mess, so in turn they won as we are now struggling. Tax cuts to the rich, come on they DO NOT NEED ANY MORE TAX CUTS, Bush made all his friends richer, he almost destroyed this country, due to his greed and stupidness. Regan has rolled over in his grave after seeing what the republican party has become, a party of greed, hate, and self rightgoness, sorry for spelling, whaty I am seeing on this board right now is just shy of racisim and hate from some of you, an dthat is not right, this country is in trouble, and some of you say you love this country, but after seeing some of these posts and the other posts about the inauguration, I truly wonder where your loylity lies. This same narrow mindness is what has propelled this country BACKWARD, yes BACKWARD, now there is a little hope but some will never be happy, and can't due to some will not open their minds to change. We needed this as a country, we need to heal we need to put this stupid race thing aside and let the man do his job as WE ELECTED him to do. It does seem funny that the repub's did more to hurt Mcain than help him, Sarah Palin as VP, really what a Repub blunder, it appears to me that the threw the election when they did this.Some of you are now retired and doing ok, the rest of us need a future to look foward to> Also some of you have served this country in war and peace time and gave a lot for this countr, and I respect you for that in the utmost honor, but now you are going against this country in a way that behoves me. It all boils down to pure RACISM and BIGOTRY. nothing else but hate. That is sad

Come on Bobby, take a breath. Noone said anything about Racism did they? The hate you speak of is running like wildfire through the Dem party you cannot deny that because we have all heard it over and over. Lets revisit the Jerimiah Wright and Jesse Jackson videos and then see what party started that battle.

I don't believe that Bush was the only one with rich friends. Do you think there were any rich Dems out there? Do you think Barry is rich? John Kerry? Clintons? Joe Biden? Barney Frank? Nancy P? Get my point? Think they enjoyed his tax breaks? Think they denied them? You imply that only rich GOP members get the bennies from tax cuts, not true.

Again who is responsible for the mortgage meltdown? Bush? Nope. You know the answer.

Barry has 4 years to prove himself...I pray and hope and wish he does better than any other President that ever took the office, we need that.

On a personal note I dislike him and what he has done to get where he is. I dislike the secrets and how he gets a free pass on so many issues that should be important to the average voter. I don't agree with his parties beliefs or the socialistic ideas that he and the other party leaders have. The end does not justify the means.

[dpage70]

I don't know which will be first but these will be the first 4 things done.

1. He will sign the largest stimulus/bailout in the history of the planet.
2. Say bye bye to Gauntanimo.
3. Some sort of ungodly spending plan for those who have lost their jobs (and deserve it) which will include those people who have never had a job and don't want one (and don't deserve it).
4. An extended outreach to those pathetic countries like France, Spain etc that think everyone in the world owes them, you know, since they saved the world so many times and all.

He won't raise taxes of any kind until the economy starts showing signs of lasting strength. He might be a liberal but he isn't an idiot, he knows that'll cost even more jobs than have already been lost and that taking MORE money out of our pockets will hurt the econmoy that much more.

He won't pull troops out of Iraq for a while to come, at least several more years. Once again, he might be a liberal but he isn't an idiot. He knows that the long term stability of the middle east IS in our best interest and 2 democracies right in the middle of all of it IS the first step toward making that happen.

Abortion laws will remain the same at a minimum until the 2 eldest judges on the Supreme Court retire and even then it's amazingly doubtful that anything will change even then. Most obvious reason for that would be, the liberals like the fact that abortions are legal as they are right now so how would you make them even MORE legal? lol

As said above,
....if he leads according to the polls as liberals tend to do, we're screwed.
.... if he leads according to how the world wants him to, we're screwed.
....if he leads according to how the freak liberal heads of congress want him to, we're screwed on an unimaginable level.
As republicans we need to at a minimum give the man a chance and see how he does. He ran as a moderate democrat and if he actually does the things that he said he would do things may not actually be as bad as we imagine. A lot of what he said he was correct on, not everything by any means but a lot of it.

[BPenrod]

Only in office since around noon and already being refered to as a modern day nevil chamberlain.

[BarkelyPup]

Abortion will get a small modification. It will go back to tax payers fitting the bill for it to include partial birth and late term.

Affermative Action ended January 20th 2009. Well a Human can hope cant they?

Assault Weapons such as the AR 15 will become a thing of the past. Or at least according to www.whitehouse.gov

I don't think he will pull out of Iraq as he promised during the primarys because he's affraid he will look like an idiot if things go sour after we move out.

One thing that I'm glad of is now no matter what anyone says Conservatives cannot be blamed for a dang thing that happens now because there are none left in Washington. I'm sure the Left will try though.

Ohh I almost forgot. Bit by bit, day by day our Military will be depleated as it was under Clinton.


I pray that this Country prospers like never before under this President. I do though feel that if he succeeds with his Liberal Idiology this country will be set back more than a few years.

And whoever said somthing about "race" we need to look no further than the Reverend Lowery guy who delivered the benidiction today. He said somthing to the effect of "I pray for a day when Blacks no longer have to get in the back, red can get ahead, brown is not held down, mellow can be yellow and White can embrace what's right" Now I might not have hit that word for word but you get the picture. The more things change the more they stay the same. I fear that our Country is so divided that one day we will be no better than the fools in the Middle east.

With all that said may God Bless President Barack H. Obama and May God Bless the United States of America.

[Tim_T]

Not spend so much of his first year on Vacation as Bush - if he shows up to work every day he has alread brought about some of the "Change" he spoke of.

He does realize that when you hold the highest office in the land that more is required of the job then just showing up and saying "present" doesn't he?

[Bobby Headrick]

The hate I spoke of is not directed to this board. I know what it is like to be discrimited against, I work in and office ran by women, and I feel discrimation everyday, the white and black male are becoming the most discrimated people out there today, and single people, if you do not have children you cannot get any med help, you can only get food stamps. I apologize, I was just blowing off steam due to a comment from a client, who was in here to ask me for gov help, and he called the new prez the n word, that really burnt me up. I was raised in Monroe co, that is a very racist county when I was growing up there and I do admit I had my "redneck" moments, and I regret that. I lived in Florida when they just started intergration, I was bused to an all black school, it was trying times and I felt racism from those students and teachers, it goes both ways. I hope and pray that Obama does good. He is the first pres in history since Kennedy and Regan that is trying to unite this country, I voted for Regan twice, as he at that time in history truly tried to represent the Republican party like it was designed to do. I was raised Babist and Republican, but I changed when the republicans changed, yes I did not like Lowerys speach as it tried to bring up old wounds, he did not need to bring all that up, as if you saw the crowd, they were as one, we the people have put this aside, why cant they? We need to get Bin Laden and all terrosits, I do belive that Obama will not deplete our military, it is already low enough, Iraq has seen to that. Sorry for the misunderstanding and bad comments. I jumped the gun somewhat. But one fact, Ky is one of the most racisit states in the union and also the most backward, we rank low in education, health care and health in general, but we rank high in coruption, illegal drug production and drug problems. Ky needs to move foward and the leadres need to quit treating all of us as slaves.The leaders do not seem to waht to move foward, they do not try to bring good jobs here, as it is easier to control the masses if they are kept at a certin income level, the Ky politicans use this to remain in office, keep them poor, pregent, barefoot and on welfare and you get the votes. Peace to all. And pry that things will change for the better. It is a long hard road we havein front of us and it will take all working together to get things done. By the way, the state is wanting us to take a day off wo pay a month for two years, that would put me in such a bind that I cannot fish or do much of anything as it could cause me to lose my home and more. But the rich leaders of our state do not seem to care, they are not taking a day off wo pay, and they make several hundred grand a year as I am still no making 30,000. after ten years my pay has not increased, this year I am bringing home less due to they raised my ins premium again and also cut the benifits, pay more get less.Don I took a breath, actullay the citizens caused this mortage mess and predatory lending pratices, Clinton goofed on that bill, but live and learn. I post on here to get your reactions and comments as some of you are older and wiser, and I respect all your views and yes geo I do remember those things and I despise that one group like that is so viloent and in the name of religion. These terrosists need stopped dead, if the military cannot do these then send some of us witgh our deer rifles, shotguns and good hounds and we will get them. You are correct they will never stop attacking as they are brainwashed, and to me just plan stupid for doing this, Hamas needed their *** kicked, I hated to see civilins killed, but if they laay with the bad guys and harbor then they are not innocent, sorry but fact is fact. If the Palistinenes want peace then they need to stop Hamas themselves. Peace love and God bless America and the new Pres and all of you.

[bassin_bug]

We all know CHANGE is coming.......So, what do you think will change FIRST?
* Changes to the DEATH TAX. Inheritance Taxes will SKYROCKET.
Later,
Geo

I hope to God you are wrong on the inheritance taxes. I'm facing taxes on not one but TWO estates right now.

I believe there will be some changes in banking laws to help people whose homes are in foreclosure. Probably refinancing to lower the payments and allow the people to stay in their homes. It would be a win-win situation for the bank and the homeowner.

Terrorist interrogation tactics will be on Obama's agenda; he seems to want them handled more gently. Bush has already done that. Of the prisoners already freed, it is known that 60 have returned to terrorism; ironically the news reported they "became" terrorists after leaving prison.

Hey Brother, I said it before, your job has to be tough! I would have high BP for sure dealing with that mess. Hang in there.

[Bobby Headrick]

I do and also, depression, anxinety, ulcers, etc, but I stiil have my hair. lol. Thanks Don, and another thing they jsut told us, we have had one retire last year in Dec and now have one transfering and another retiring in 6 mths, they said that they will not replace any, said we can handle it. more work less pay. But at least I have a paycheck now, I actually got into this to help people in need but soon relized that the ones who are honest and in need I cannot hepl but a liar, baby raper and murderers and illegals can, go figure.
