Barack Obama attended an Islamic school growing up in Indonesia and his father was a Muslim.

Obama's experience within Islam as a boy should give him a unique perspective into Islam unlike any other U.S. President.

How do you feel the election of Barack Obama will impact Islam in America?

I wonder how much Obama’s starting to realize that by not running a campaign, he’s opened himself to every other liberal dictating what he’ll be doing in office. And all these ideas, no matter if they originated in the Obama campaign or not, will be seen by the liberal left wing as a betrayal if he doesn’t do it.

I wonder if next week they’ll be talking about an executive order about global warming, saving the polar bears, and listing the bald eagle as an ultra-protected species. While I don’t agree with Obama’s politics, I also don’t think he’ll be anywhere near the driver’s seat as president.

Remember how independents were for McCain-Palin over Drill Baby Drill, and Obama jumped on the drill bandwagon telling Dems they needed to pass bill to drill offshore...and everyone thought he would drill for oil in America...one more lie, and when he said it...some of us knew it would be undone, and many voted for him because that was only issue holding them back. Now they have been scammed.

OK so this wins the award for biggest lie: “We're going to carry those timeless principles of limited government, a strong defense, traditional values, to the American people.”
how he said that with a straight face is beyond me lol

I’m amazed by the way the MSM continue to act as if he’s ALREADY president. Note the headline; not “will quickly use” but “quickly using,” and this is but one of countless examples.

And he feels like he has a “real mandate?” 52%, Da Fuerher, 52%.

Bad grammer on the part of Mr. Ohlemacher - as President Elect obama isn’t using executive orders yet.

As for midnight orders, every President at least since President Reagan has tried hard to undo late orders from the previous president.

But those efforts usually fall short: President Bush43 could only unravel 3% of Clinton’s last-minute plans, and Clinton successfully killed only 9% of those pushed through by President Bush41 in 1993.

"They want to have oil and gas drilling in some of the most sensitive, fragile lands in Utah," Mr. Podesta said. "I think that's a mistake."

How is it sensitive? How is it fragile? Does any conservative in Washington have the balls to ask these questions?

domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

Cool. Gas prices will return to $4 a gallon, and you can't blame the evil Bush because the gubmint will be controlled by Rats. The energy companies will move their HQ off-shore and completely stop all new oil projects. Then it'll be just like the 70s again! Long lines, odd and even days. Yeah!

"He's not even a Republican," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said. "Why wouldn't we want to keep him? He's never been a registered Republican."

Typical of Stupid Harry...don't consider whether he's done a good job, just look at his political affiliation. What a numbskull...but then, what can you expect from a guy who has publicly stated that federal income taxes are voluntary.

Whatever this O-hole is going to do he better get it done before Nov. 2010. Congress is going to be looking extremely RED after the 2010 elections. One more thing Your Clueless, if you start this stroke of the pen UNDO you can be damn sure in Jan 2013 or after your impeachment you will be UNDONE IN SPADES.

“...can be damn sure in Jan 2013 or after your impeachment you will be UNDONE IN SPADES.”

Now that’s a very racist thing to say.

The only thing that will keep the oil prices from rising is the fact that the economy will sink into oblivion with Obama’s ‘fixes for the economy, which will drastically curtail consumption.

I take from this that Obama will further hasten the outsourcing of domestic energy and prop up the race-baiting and baby killing industry domestically.

Definitions of in spades:

decidedly: without question and beyond doubt; "it was decidedly too expensive"; "she told him off in spades"; "by all odds they should win"

Maybe it's an age thing, but it was nice hearing from you anyway morron.
