When you become a citizen of this country, you will have the right tell me whether or not I am being a "good" citizen. Until that time, please keep it to yourself.
You want to talk about what the "world" needs? lol Every time a country gets a scrape on it`s knee or gets bullied we are the first country they call for help. We give help and you know what we get in return? A slap in the face. Don`t tell me about what you feel the "world" needs.

It doesn`t. It`s the same old rhetoric that he`s been giving the American people from day one and the media has given him a free pass on everything. And you have people, much like Getlo but are actual citizens of this country, who believe everything they are fed by the media without question.

I don`t like Oprah. She bothers me. She`s rude. I remember reading a few years ago that Oprah was related to Elvis. I think that`s where Oprah got her info from....the National Enquirer.

I agree, Diane. Congratulations to Obama!The country was in pretty good shape when Clinton was in office so if Obama is getting some of the same people behind him...we're going to do all right!
Diane
His presidency is going to make an impact not only on the US, but on the entire world!
Don't get so personal guys, please.
And yes, he will have an impact on the world, in a negative way I'm afraid.
When you have a Democrat in the White House and a Demcrat controlled Congress and Senate there`s no balance of power....we will be no better off with Obama and his Democrat controlled Congress and Senate than we were Bush and his Republican controlled Senate and House. Only, I have a feeling things will much worse this time around.
Security is not the absence of danger but the presence of God no matter what the danger.
Let's all see what happens after he gets in office. Pray good things.

Some of you are just so bitter and filled with hate that you can't look past the race issue. I would assume that those very ones on here complaining are from the old civil rights era and was born and raised to think a certain way therefore is trying like hell to find anything bad on President Obama. But the facts still remain everything that has been tried has failed.
McCain stood on that stage Tuesday night and said "He is my president and I ask that all of you honor him as you would me". McCain gained many points with the black community by saying that. He showed class and dignity and he also said he is willing to work with President Obama in helping him in any way he can.
As for the thought of Obama being a Muslim and sworn in on the Koran, it's all LIES and fabricated stories may=de up to discredit the man. Don't you think for a minute that since what happened with 911 that the US Government would have controlled the voting process to where he would not win if he was in any way shape or form a threat to our nation and our freedom? Think before you go posting your hatred for someone.
The fact remains that he's our next president and there's nothing anyone can do or say that will change that and I am proud of this country for putting their pride and greed aside to elect him into office.
Does this sound like a man that would support Obama? Elvis' letter to the President.
"Dear Mr. President.
First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Elvis Presley and admire you and have great respect for your office. I talked to Vice President Agnew in Palm Springs three weeks ago and expressed my concern for our country. The drug culture, the hippie elements, the SDS, Black Panthers, etc. do NOT consider me as their enemy or as they call it The Establishment. I call it America and I love it. Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help The Country out. I have no concern or Motives other than helping the country out.
So I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position. I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large and I will help out by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and foremost, I am an entertainer, but all I need is the Federal credentials. I am on this plane with Senator George Murphy and we have been discussing the problems that our country is faced with.
Sir, I am staying at the Washington Hotel, Room 505-506-507. I have two men who work with me by the name of Jerry Schilling and Sonny West. I am registered under the name of Jon Burrows. I will be here for as long as long as it takes to get the credentials of a Federal Agent. I have done an in-depth study of drug abuse and Communist brainwashing techniques and I am right in the middle of the whole thing where I can and will do the most good.
I am Glad to help just so long as it is kept very Private. You can have your staff or whomever call me anytime today, tonight, or tomorrow. I was nominated this coming year one of America's Ten Most Outstanding Young Men. That will be in January 18 in my home town of Memphis, Tennessee. I am sending you the short autobiography about myself so you can better
Respectfully,
Elvis Presley
P. S. I believe that you, Sir, were one of the Top Ten Outstanding Men of America also.
I have a personal gift for you which I would like to present to you and you can accept it or I will keep it for you until you can take it."

ELVIS WOULD NEVER ENDORSE OBAMA, Elvis was very old fashioned and lean more towards the right with being conservative. He was a JAYCEES member and they have very conservative values and are very strict on going to far left, witch Obama's campaign has proven.
1- Elvis would never approve any kind of Abortion rights, he had Christian values and would have been Pro-Life. Obama is for everykind of abortion imaginable. He might have changed it a little towards the end to get more voters but that's what he's always stood for.
2- Elvis would never vote for someone who wants to wimp out of a war that's almost over. He didn't during Vietnam and wouldn't now.
3- Elvis would never voted for someone who had anything to do with a "American" Terrorist who bombs his own country and who claims, he should have done a lot more bombings. Remember this, Elvis was around when Bill Aires did all this and believe you me, I very much doubt that Elvis would be seen in the same room with this protesting hippie let alone be a part of anything he's associated with for 20 years.
4- Friends with a man that has a photo taken of himself stepping on the American flag and Obama refusing to wear the American flag pin. Elvis wasn't running for office and wore a American flag pin. Obama only started wearing it later cause it cost him some of his votes.
5- Elvis would never support or be a part of a Church that put down America and still blaming whites for their short comings. He would have walked out when Rev.Wright said, "GOD **** AMERICA!!! & THIS THE U.S. OF KKK"
6- ACORN-Encouraging VOTER FRAUD and donated, $250,000,00 with Bill Aires (terrorist), and then $800,000,00 a year ago, let alone work for such a scamming organization, I think not.

Apparently you haven't been watching CNN. They showed a position by position of how his cabinet will most likely play out and look and it was very balanced. He's expected to keep some positions filled with the ones there now including leader of homeland security. Yeah that's a terrorist plot alright.
Stop listening to David Duke and his racial hatred and get with 2008 and help make that change for a better.
You trust CNN..LOL, they miss quoted a quote to make Sarah Palin look bad. This election exposed how the media can easily be bought off if you have millions of dollars given to you by "unknown people & origanizations".Apparently you haven't been watching CNN.

that's why it's called the first, "Media Election". NBC,CBS,ABC & CNN were all paid off. They didn't ask the hard questions and instead ran stories about how much Sarah Palin's suit cost..lol Elvis wore thousands of dollars worth of Jumpsuits to perform..lol
It's funny that you mention this because if my memory is correct Elvis OWNED a Koran Bible as well as a Holy Bible. He also befriended Mohammad Ali, a well known Muslim who white America did not like at the time and who socialized and befriended known Muslim terrorists in the past. Oh and don't forget that Elvis himself gave a house out in California in the 60's to a Middle Eastern leader. Elvis also has been pictured wearing a turban and there's Islamic images on the Meditation Gardens wall at Graceland. Does this make Elvis a terrorist or Muslim? No it doesn't.
So your theory of Elvis being "old fashion" is inaccurate and further from the truth. Elvis loved his country just as McCain, palin, and the Obamas do today. he sang If I Can Dream and In The Ghetto to American Trilogy and America The Beautiful.
You wanna get technical, some could have considered In The Ghetto as "Anti-American" at that time.
Don't forget that a former US interm claimed she had an abortion because Elvis asked her to.
Please keep Elvis out of this thread, it is of no relevance whatsoever.
no one said that Elvis was a promoter of, "white America", only you did. Like no one said that Obama has a funny name and was black until Obama said it & I doubt that, If Elvis knew that someone was hanging with a terrorist he would have associated with him. I never said Elvis was prejudiced, you said that I said it. I'm far from it, my best friends who's my business partner and oh yeah, he is black too even was skeptical but voted for Obama anyway.It's funny that you mention this because if my memory is correct Elvis OWNED a Koran Bible as well as a Holy Bible. He also befriended Mohammad Ali, a well known Muslim who white America did not like at the time and who socialized and befriended known Muslim terrorists in the past.

You are right, these are you're theory and I'm stating facts here with a hand written letter to Nixon, not a theory. I doubt Obama would stand in front of millions of people and sing, "THE AMERICAN TRILOGY" he wouldn't even salute the flag, he then would lose all the Bush haters and people blaming America for their problems votes..lol
I have to respect whoever is in office and I hope Obama does the right thing while in office but to stay on the topic, Elvis & I don't even think Martin Luther King would be looking down smiling seeing what he was associated with right before he started running for the Presidency. Sorry, but Elvis was too conservative and old fashioned with his political views. Maybe not religious views. In fact, I have all them books as well and come to the conclusion that religion is just something some people need to cope with life. It doesn't matter what it's called or book they follow as long as it's for the betterment of mankind and not being used hating on people that believe different.
On the songs, IF I CAN DREAM AND IN THE GHETTO...Notice how Elvis never sang, IF I CAN DREAM in concert and IN THE GHETTO was only done cause it was a chart topper. My point is this, Elvis didn't like to sing songs that in any way looked like he was siding with any kind of Anti-American Movement. What makes you think he'd promote someone who does business with Anti-American values?

You know the millions of jobs generated by the Clinton administration were actually part of the "work first" program which involved having dependent and needy people doing work that wasn't right for them, as a cheap excuse not to have a state that takes care of those less fortunate.
And please do not call me a socialist: I'm not. The point I'm addressing here is that such a program organized by the state makes people feel unhappier and even more worthless. All in all there's plenty of money and material in the world, you just don't need to spend it all on NATO and NASA.
I know I'm not American and I can't possibly be a hard-lining self-made patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam, but I do read a lot of articles and know of some things that have occurred in your country.
In fact "turbo-capitalism" wasn't put into action by the Reagan administration, but already during Carter's presidency. I'm not a Republican as I prefer a monarchy as a form of national government, but there's plenty (not necessarily positive) to account the Democrats for as well. I don't think everything is going to be roses and sunshine from now on and if Obama doesn't meet his goals he will face the consequences anyway.

all the goons I left behind,
memories still linger..
I'm sure you are talking about the Welfare reform act which was implimented under President Clinton.
That did not creat jobs it simply stated that able bodied people on Welfare would have 2 years to find employment of some kind and then Welfare checks to those able bodies fully capable individuals would be stopped. They could still get food stamp assistance, still get free health care for their kids, and they got childcare assistance.
They could get assistance in going back to school for training to move up the job ladder.(fully paid if they qualified) Finally for working they could get the Earned Income Tax Credit on their yearly tax return which paid them a refundable tax credit perhaps a 3-4 thousand a year depending on their income and family size. IMO This was a good amount of help (and still is to this day) to help people gain employment and earn their own living. Nothing more satisfying than earning your own way. Self respect is a great thing and this helps people to feel it.
They also helped these individuals with government employment in rebuilding the infrastructure of this country. No one was forced into a job it is a decision they make when they look for one.
But the bulk of the 22.4 million jobs were created in the private sector-not in government. Government employment shrank during that 8 year time frame.
