GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Hello, again. In nine days he will be president of the United States. This morning Barack Obama is our exclusive headliner. Welcome back to THIS WEEK.
STEPHANOPOULOS: If both of these packages go through, that's more than a trillion dollars in spending in your first couple of months in office.
OBAMA: Right.
STEPHANOPOULOS: When you look at the array of things you want to do, as president, something is going to have to give.
OBAMA: Right.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me press you on this, at the end of the day, are you really talking about over the course of your presidency some kind of a grand bargain? That you have tax reform, health care reform, entitlement reform, including Social Security and Medicare where everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something, accept change for the greater good?
OBAMA: Yes.

I highly recommend reading the entire interview -- it's 3 long pages, but it does start to give you an idea of what Obama really intends to do.
This is the interview where he also says that he will use more diplomacy with Iran. The Mullahs and terrorists must be rolling on the floor laughing.
Funny, most of his supporters are the most uninformed people on the face of the earth.
Now I have this crazy urge to watch “The Green Mile” again.
People better WAKE UP!
I guess the “missus” here thinks her husband is now the regent. Neither he nor any politcian can require any such thing of a free citizenry. Screw him and her both.
GEORGE SNUFALUFAGUS interviewing BARRY OBAMA. Doesn’t just that alone chap anyone’s A$$. When is Karl Rove going to get his Sunday morning chat show???
Once they confiscate the guns, there will be no “free citizenry” FRiend.
I’m making my family and friends watch the movie Obsession since so many have never seen it before! It has already freaked out some of my liberal 20 something yr. old friends - that’s how oblivious people are!
Why doesn't your husband move out of his comfort zone and show us his long-form birth certificate so the world can see he is a fraud and a liar who makes Bernie Madoff look like a saint?
Who paid for his college education, Mrs. Obama? Let's see his college records, Mrs. Obama. Are you afraid we'll find out he was registered as a foreign college student who was, and still is, a citizen of another country, making him ineligible to be president of the U.S.?
It’s too late. They don’t realize that these are the precise words spoken by Stalin, Marx, Castro and the rest of his comrades. The die is cast.
In reference to Homeland Security: “we are going to have to stay vigilant and that’s something that doesn’t change from administration to administration”.
I guess he stating that Bush has been keeping the homeland safe.
Stephanopolous is nothing but a little fanny pimple squirt.
What are their rules of engagement? On defending America we know that those who do are subject to prosecution.
Interesting, the ABC link to Will Obama Prosecute Bush Officials? is gone. I believe the article was posted earlier. Obama would not rule it out, I believe.
Is it somewhere else on ABC? ..or is the Obama Isflamist (what they say is flam) Party Central Committee official organ already at work?
(No offense to Aunt Esther meant by the comparison.)
Whatever Obama said on This Week is only valid for this week. The sneaky little bitch will use any little excuse to invalidate his own words and carry out his real, socialist agenda.
We know that. That is why gun sales are up by hundreds of percent. We can see what is coming.
“Interesting, the ABC link to Will Obama Prosecute Bush Officials? is gone. I believe the article was posted earlier. Obama would not rule it out, I believe. “
You are right!
But I went to the one page of the transcript, searched on Bush and found it.
BTW — here is the transcript all on one page:

“OBAMA: We have not made final decisions, but my instinct is for us to focus on how do we make sure that moving forward we are doing the right thing. That doesn’t mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation’s going to be to move forward.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, let me just press that one more time. You’re not ruling out prosecution, but will you tell your Justice Department to investigate these cases and follow the evidence wherever it leads?
OBAMA: What I — I think my general view when it comes to my attorney general is he is the people’s lawyer. Eric Holder’s been nominated. His job is to uphold the Constitution and look after the interests of the American people, not to be swayed by my day-to-day politics. So, ultimately, he’s going to be making some calls, but my general belief is that when it comes to national security, what we have to focus on is getting things right in the future, as opposed looking at what we got wrong in the past. “
Yes, here...
