Now I wish to hold both elected official's feet to the fire. I undeerstand that there is a set establishment in Washington, but after all the "Change" we have been listening to, at all of meetings, in the press, on the news etc. I, personally am still waiting for. So far the appointed staff looks more like the Clinton administration than change. I am saying that I have been watching closely, I will continue to watch and speak out for the change that was promised.

After all, Barack needs to have people of top flight quality in his staff and those who understand the workings of Washington.

New comers won't be able to affect the type of change that Barack wants to bring to Washington and let's remember that Barack sets the agenda as POTUS and his staff and cabinet will follow his lead.

They will of course offer their input but the final decisions will fall on the shoulders of Barack and I trust him to do what's right for America. We won't always agree with his actions or think he's acting fast enough but he has an entire country and many problems that he must take into account when making any decision and so he must first act in the country's best interest.

Change does not come easy or quickly. Time and understanding are needed at this time and moving forward. We trusted him throughout his campaign and it's incumbent on us to once again trust that he has our nation's best interest in mind as he leads and governs.

Well Donald I have to disagree with you. New comers can bring change, make no mistake about that. They just have to be qualified. Remember Barack's whole election was about change and not the Status Quo and the old Washington establishment!!

He does have to be careful and not bring too many Clinton's Administration into his office. I think that would be a mistake!

I pray that he makes the right choices and decisions.

Re: Don't Be Too Concerned Cami.... | Report to Admin

By DLT MN. Nov 10th 2008 at 2:14 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 2:14 pm EST)

It's ok to disagree Debbie, but I do have a question for you.

What exactly was wrong with the Clinton administration that has you concerned?

Was it the rising economy or the all time high of job creations? Or maybe it was the world standing we had before this current administration? Or maybe the fact that the middle class earnings were heading north instead of taking the plunge we have witness these past 8 years?

What exactly should we be afraid of? More of those things? Isn't that what we are trying to have happen once again?

When my brother loses his job after 30 years in the same company and my son has been trying to find work for the last 5 months without so much as one interview because of the outrageous number of applications every business out there has to wade trough I believe that having the experience in correcting these very problems is not a handicap but a good thing.

Change can come with people like Joe Biden (who has been in Washington longer than most), Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and whoever Barack chooses in the coming days and weeks. Why do I believe this?

It's simple...Because he is the one who will run the agenda. He is the one who will set it and ask for opinions of how to get them implemented.

How has his choices been thus far? How has his judgment raised questions for you about his ability to lead? Is he not the President elect after two of the most highly fought campaigns in modern history, over Hillary Clinton and John McCain with every distorted truth that could be made against him made. He still is the President Elect.

After so many here questioning him and worrying about his decisions not being right and a risk.

Those who want to question his every move as if he is somehow new to this, have to sit back and let him be who he is and run this the way he sees as best for his administration and that of the country.

So many worked hard for him, trusted him enough to go that extra mile for him. Hope and change are not as easily made without compromise. He will do what's right for moving this country forward. Of that I have no doubt.

Obama's supporters aren't very bright, are they? Clinton's good economy was built on a credit/debt bubble - the one that is currently creating our depression. Change? HA!HA! - Rahm Emmanuel is the biggest pro-war Democrat in the House. He was a supporter of Bush's Iraq war. Rahm would not give any money to anti-war Democrat Congressional candidates who ran in 2006. Obama promised a middle-class tax cut, right? He's already backing away from that promise because of the economy. Remember, Clinton promised the same thing in 1992. Never materialized.

You heard the advisors say that they wanted Barack to have more attacks, more zingers, more 'politics' in his campaign but he refused to come out and change his character. Economically, the Clinton years certainly changed our budget/balance sheet. It wasn't all bad...much good. So, have faith. Hasn't even been a week. This is a person who will build a working coalition and he has a vision I believe in...not about to second guess him! you should be encouraged by stem cell executive order, closing Guantanamo that looks like he's already working on it... these are a hint at promises kept.

Actually, he can put in his office whoever he wants, and in the cabinet whoever the Senate approves of, and there will still be change.

And there is one thing that we should keep in mind (especially those of the Christian faith): people, too, can change, especially if they have a leader who inspires them. (I vaguely remember the Christian New Testament has some stories of that kind.)

We have no reason to assume that Axelrod and Emanuel act in the same way they did under the Clinton administration. (Note also that neither of them was involved in any Clinton scandals.)
Axelrod, for one, has shown in the campaign that he used his strength of organization in such a way that they strengthened Obama's policies, rather than change them.

There were some very good people in the Clinton administration and I have no problem with them being in government, but there has to be new people too.

I don't want him to pick the worse people from the Clinton administration. I would not be happy if he picked Larry Summers for Treasury who supported deregulation of the financial sector. I like Robert Reich and Joseph Stiglitz. (Krugman would be great)

As for Rahm he did have influence over Bill clinton he was the one who pushed for NAFTA and cutting welfare - this increases poverty. America has the worse welfare programme in the developed world. He clearly puts his personal views first and not what is good for the people just the bankers he worked for. No doubt he will be influencing Obama too - but I am willing to wait and see what happens. I don't want him to change Obama into Clinton I like Obama the way he is.

Those people need to made accountable it is there policies that have consequences. People loose their jobs, homes and end up living in poverty.

You will never accomplish change if you allow someone who is a washington lobbyist to operate like that - they will keep the status quo and the only people who have money and keep the system going will be allowed in.

I hope Obama has an open and ethical government. I want to know how decisions (show me the evidence) are being made and who is attached to lobbyists.

After many years of Bush there is alot of mistrust in government only with more openess will this be restored.

So many people came out to vote if there is not change in Washington people will be disillusioned forever. That just cannot happen.

Moving Forward - What do we do with the 2,000 new volunteers in Ventura County? | Report to Admin

By Ventura County CA Organizer Nov 10th 2008 at 2:01 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 2:01 pm EST)

We're all so very happy about the election of President Obama. Now we need to know what to do, and how to work with the thousands of new volunteers that came from the campaign efforts. We don't want to loose these people. We are looking for ideas to organize everyone now that the election is over. Do you have ideas? How do we keep them involved? What kind of events should we offer? Where should we put our efforts? Is it possible to get a modified version of "Camp Obama" that trains these new activists about how to utilize their new skills?

Any input and information is greatly appreciated!

What Next?

There is a task at hand while we await President-elect Barack Obama to take his position as the leader of the free world. One very important aspect of this journey to the White House has been the reminder that “we are our brothers’ keeper”. A positive energy has been released into the universe. Our country is engaged and the world is optimistic again. We have a window of opportunity to get it right after eight long years of regressive mistakes…so let’s not blow it.

Every one of us needs to start to prepare our families, friends and neighbors for what we will need to do in the near future; to not only visualize but to experience the dream. We can help make President Obama, Joe Biden and our country a success. We can make Obama a better leader by being ready to let him lead. The minds of Americans need to be primed to accept the task that lie ahead. We need to start to think as a community and get organized.

This can be achieved in part by taking in a few easy steps. First and foremost we must re-establish respect of self and others embrace our similarities and difference it is after all what makes us unique. Let us begin take an active role in your home communities so that it will be easier to make the transition to what will be needed after January 20th. We can tap into the enthusiasm of the youth to re-engage them in education and remind them of their potential. They are our future and worth the investment. Working with our seniors is always a plus as well. They are our foundation and we can learn from their experiences to give a better view of what is needed for the future. Sharing your time and talents to benefit others is always a plus.

Any efforts that release us from our shells and allow us to spread our wings, to go beyond our complacent boundaries can only work for the betterment of us all. I am hopeful because working with all of you during this process has given me reason to once again expand my dreams and trust in a broader sense of being. I am confident that we will accomplish great things together. We must answer the call. Our time really is now. Yes we can, we must.

This morning we're hearing of another huge loan bailout for AIG, added with the other two loan packages that were already provided for them.
Government bailouts for the super rich...!

These are the SAME CLOWNS who had their California "spa" treatment holiday paid for by taxpayers, and then the "fox hunting" trip in England after that!

All this largesse was sponsored and paid for under the direction of Bush Administration, his Sec. of the Treasury, Paulsen, and rest of those foxes-in-charge of the hen-house!
Democrats did go along, under threat that if they didn't, the entire economy was going to collapse!

But don't let the Republicans forget that THEY asked for the BAILOUT package...

Under a Republican Administration's request, the
U.S.A. Government has bailed out, and is now buying-into banks, and this monster-sized American Insurance Group company.

Recall, Republicans are against SOCIALISM ???
Isn't that what McCain/Palin ranted against???
They accused Barack Obama of being a SOCIALIST !!!

But this type of SOCIALISM is what Republicans appear to enjoy...

"Free Enterprise" for their profits.
SOCIALISM for their losses.

I'm sure government isn't easy. Clearly this government will rule from the central - hopefully center left. If more progressives run for, and win elections, then it would be more possible to shift the center of gravity to the left - until then, we may have to shut up and put up.

Look at the Blair government (1997 - 2007) in the UK after the discredited Conservative government got the boot. We may find a precedent there in how the Democrats will government this term.

Word on the street in Nevada is that Reid told Lieberman he will be relieved of any major committee chair and given something small. The fear in this state is that Jon Porter, Republican Congressman who was defeated last Tuesday by Dina Titus, will run against Reid for that Senate seat and possibly win. Both are from southern Nevada, both are Mormon, but Porter is conservative. I'm not thrilled with Reid by any stretch of the imagination, but I just worked really hard to get rid of Porter and I don't want to see him in the Senate in 2 years.

Wade, we could add more progressive issues such as a single-payer healthcare system, equal pay for equal work for women and even the elimination of poverty.

Unfortunately, if the American people wanted all the above, they would have probably voted Kucincth. Facts are, Obama and the Democrats probably don't have a mandate for the above. This is not the change they were elected to bring in.

Clearly, Obama's campaign promises are the best we can expect or hope from this administration. There is no point in raising peoples' hopes beyond that. That is the change we elected. If we want anything more progressive, we need to get involved, deepen the movement and vote more progressive officials into the next congress.

Personally, I'm just glad to see the back of Bush and all Bush-likes. That's the change I voted for and will soon be enjoying.

Re: change | Report to Admin

By Ludmilla Nov 10th 2008 at 11:37 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 11:37 pm EST)

I don't think it has to be that grim with regards to health care. HR 676: National Health Insurance Act, has been introduced in the House by John Conyers and Kucinich for 3 sessions now. Although this may not be what Obama proposed, it is a start for working together. Conyers never expected that HR 676 is the only bill but is willing to work with the Administration I am sure, since he is one of the mentors of Obama. If Obama wants to change the US Health Care system, I am hopeful that he will again consult Conyers and work together, rather than reinvent the wheel. Enough proposals are on the table and with a strong economics team he can begin a universal health care approach that may be able to utilize some (not most) of the HR676 proposed goals and objectives. Change also means that we have to think differently than before during the change of Administrations. There is nothing for us to compare this to so all we can do is wait and see and be patient. Many of the issues inherited by the new Administration were created over a long period of time and nothing will change overnight but together we can certainly encourage continued and consistent change and encourage continued dialogue about what is necessary. Our advocacy will play a large role, not just with the Administration but within the Congress.
We can change by identifying our leadership role (the same way we identified our role in the election as we are still involved through this dialogue) rather than just considering who needs to be removed. Our leadership will be much more significant when we become the true change agents and then those who need to be removed will ultimately have no place in the new change process.

don't get side tracked with retribution... | Report to Admin

By Peng in Gresham, OR Nov 10th 2008 at 3:03 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 3:03 pm EST)

Now that we've won, the big question is what's next.

There are people focused on retribution, and want to prosecute all those that opposed Obama, or that have somehow wronged us personally. Like castrating Lieberman, or impeaching Bush/Cheney during the transition, or stuffing Fox news into a black hole.

There is a certain satisfaction in dreaming that it is is possible now...

But if we return an eye for an eye, are we not continuing the cycle of violence and persecution?

Someone has to be the first to forgive, and we are the ones that had campaigned on electing adults to lead the country, so let us set the example, and show grace by forgiving Lieberman, Bush, Fox news.

Yet there is a dilemma to forgive so easily, because forgiveness that leaves the culprits unpunished may send a signal to others that they may be profligate without suffering unduly, also. Those that did harm may not have learned their lesson. Lieberman, Bush, Cheney, Fox news.

I would like to see some kind of tough love response to Lieberman who spread hate against Obama during the campaign, and I would like to see tough love on Bush for lying about the reasons for going to War in Iraq, and I would like Fox news to be renamed the Fox tabloid entertainment channel and lose their press credentials.

However, whatever the official response, let the judgment be quick and fair, so we can move on to the real problem solving of the economy, with restoring government integrity, and people's trust in elected officials, and with bringing the troops home, etc.

Wade, I understand. I too am disappointed in the lack of backbone in the Democrats, voting for wars and refusing to hold people (Republicans) accountable.

I know they could have ended the war already and saved many lives. However, I believe Pelosi is one of the more progressive leaders in Congress. And the result of her action is the Democrats have a bigger majority in the House and Senate, as well as the White House. If she tried a more confrontation approach, who knows what would have happened - would a Democrat be going to the White House now? who knows.

I remember her treatment of the Republicans on the $700bn bailout. She made them contribute to the bailout in a way that signalled it was caused by Republican failure and the Republicans had to contribute to any bailout of the (corrupt/greedy) Wall street. She was also very progressive in her dealing of the contest between Obama and the Clintons.

I'm sure no-one's perfect in Congress. Bust like Obama, Pelosi hasn't quite disillusioned me yet.

Bush and Obama butting heads, cordial meeting at White House just a show | Report to Admin

By Simone from Tyngsboro, MA Nov 10th 2008 at 3:45 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 3:45 pm EST)

The Bush administration is creating an appearance of cooperation with Obama and the transition of power. Don't be fooled by what you see on the news, however.

What's really going on is... the Bush administration is basically saying that they will be cooperative to a degree, but that the Bush administration WILL NOT BE DISCLOSING to Obama what they will be doing in the next 6 weeks (according to CNN) which is SOMETHING supposedly to do with "sealing" some kind of a deal.

Meanwhile, Obama is moving QUICKLY to get his team and administration together so that he can act to QUICKLY REVERSE whatever it is the Bush administration is up to.

The Bush administration has been quietly destroying this country (which has carelessly cost the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians on both sides) for the past 8 years and apparently they will be up to no good in their final couple of months. I think they were expecting McCain to win. Now that Obama is the president elect, I think they are covering something up and tying up all the loose ends before they depart.

I am a little nervous that certain rogue elements of the Bush administration will linger after George's exit. Like in the CIA for example? After all, W's daddy used to be the former director of the CIA at one time. I am worried there will still be a farce of lies going on at the direction of Bush connected officials during the Obama administration.

I hope he really looks into these departments of government and dismantles any agendas that do not have anything to do with the will of the people. Like John F. Kennedy's Camelot... I want to see an Obama "BAMALOT".

People have a hard time of looking at 9/11 in a new way because once people have been told a lie for so long, it's actually biologically difficult for the neurons to rewire to a different story. I was very resistant myself to reviewing 9/11, it took me 2 months after friends told me to accept that it was really a false-flag operation.

For those of you who don't know what a false-flag attack is, watch this film: Link

P.S. I don't think Obama can expose 9/11 himself. That would put his administration in too much danger. It will instead need a massive grass-roots movement or international investigation IMHO.

Palin's own words: 'Amazing we did as well as we did' | Report to Admin

By “Honored & Humbled” Nov 10th 2008 at 4:06 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 4:06 pm EST)

Gov. Sarah Palin blames the Bush administration for the failure of the McCain-Palin ticket, thinks people need to move on from the so-called "Troopergate" controversy and has no regrets about state per diem for time spent at her home in Wasilla or state-funded travel for her children.

Palin also said she loved her time in the national spotlight and won't rule out a run for president or vice president in 2012.

Q. Why do you think your campaign lost?

A. I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a 10 trillion dollar debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing. So people desiring change I think went as far from the administration that is presently seated as they could. It's amazing that we did as well as we did.

Normal hydrocarbon fires burn at about 600 degrees celcius, in perfect fuel-O2 mixtures. The temperatures would have to have been almost twice as hot to actually MELT the steel. Google "madrid highrise fire" to see how well latticed structural steel holds up to INTENSE heat. They rescuers lifted glowing steel beams that were dripping molten steel off the ends. For this to happen, one end of the beam would have to be super-heated to tens of thousands of degrees (perhaps hundreds of thousands) which would only happen with a thermite cutting charge.

_Swift passage by Congress of a new fiscal stimulus bill either before or soon after he takes office in January.

_Immediate extension of unemployment benefits for those who can't find work.

_A rescue plan for the middle class that invests in immediate efforts to create jobs and provides relief to families watching paychecks shrink and life savings disappear.

_Efforts to address the spreading impact of the financial crisis on other sectors of the economy, including small businesses struggling to meet payroll and finance holiday inventories and state and municipal governments facing budget cuts and tax increases.

_Aid for the struggling auto industry and related businesses such as auto suppliers, which face severe hardships.

_Review the implementation of the $700 billion financial rescue plan to ensure it is achieving its central goal of stabilizing financial markets while protecting taxpayers, helping homeowners and not unduly rewarding the management of the financial firms receiving government assistance.

_A set of energy, health care, education and tax relief policies designed to grow the middle class and revive the economy.

1984, just like Brave New World, is study on what happens when people let themselves be lulled into ignorance and apathy. Huxley and Orwell were warning us about too much state control and, above all, what can happen when we, as citizens, let our common sense be overridden by fear. The Republicans ran a 2004 campaign on fear and won. They told Americans that if we elected a Democrat we would be attacked again. They pushed through the Patriot Act right after 9/11 in a climate of fear. George Bush and Dick Cheney used the 4th Amendment for toilet paper for the last 7 years. Not only are we less safe, we are less secure in our own civil rights. Big Brother is here.

To be fair, Obama mandated that the DNC not take any lobbyist money. Plus, we (and Obama) need a Democratic Congress to get anything done, and the DNC helped with the 50 state strategy. We will also need the DNC in the future to strenghten a progressive hold on the government.

I don't think there's anything wrong with giving what you can afford.

I can understand your stance on this because throughout the campaign I have attempted to have dialogue and more often than not, realized that we were not engaging in constructive dialogue, agreeing to disagree and respecting each other's opinions but rather lower the content of our dialogue to nothing more than ridicule and a few words exchanged back and forth. I believe that regardless of what we think, if we elected CHANGE, and we voted for the Obama/Biden ticket, we are seriously shortchanging them by providing ignorant statements, name calling and other forms of ridicule.
As the transition team is working hard to come into D.C. to ignite change like never before, I believe it would help all of us to consider our role. Rather than attack others or ridicule them, let's not forget why we were able to be succesful. When all of us wanted Obama to attack, he remained focused, he never gave in, regardless of what pressures were placed on him and his campaign strategists. He knew that it would get him nowhere.
We should not loose sight of the class and dignity with which this campaign was run, and follow that example as we dialogue about issues dear to our heart and yes, often still very painful to swallow in light of the fact that until now, Congress has done little to make progress in Iraq and in the lifes of our military who sacrifices everything for a war that should have never been!

I live in MO, and I am really suspicious about the vote totals, especially for St. Louis City. On the state website, it shows that the city (which voted overwhelmingly for Obama) had fairly low turnout compared to many other areas in the state, including St. Louis County. As the city has a high % of African Americans, I am suspicious of the lower turnout. I am hoping that a large number of provisional ballots are from this area and will end up putting Obama over the top. My daughter lives in an area of St. Louis County with a high % of AAs, and they tried to get her to take a provisional ballot because she had changed her address even though she had her voter card and her name was on the rolls. She is a grad student at Washington University in St. Louis, and she tells me that many students are given provisional ballots because for some reason their names do not appear on the rolls.

My recommendation for Secretary of Defense is Admiral Mike Mullen, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is an excellent choice for the position.

I served with Mike Mullen on the USS Sterett(CG-31) when we were forward deployed and home ported in Subic Bay in the Philippines, and he was the Executive Officer. I am also a Vietnam Veteran with two tours. Admiral Mullen is extremely intelligent, sees the big picture, is a strong proponent of "Diplomacy First" and that force is used as a last resort, and he is a very strong advocate for the people in uniform and their families. He and his wife Debbie would be an excellent addition to this administration.

Please allow him to interview for the jobe. I guarranty that he will positively impress you. If not SecDef, then definitely the National Security Advisor. He is that good.

Wade, I did not look at your links but watched "loose change" while I also worked with the U.S. House of Representatives during the time of the investigations done by the 9/11 Commission and see all points. The reports said one thing and still there are other theories that will probably never enter the committee discussions. However, I thought "loose change" was pretty compelling.
I suggest to you, understanding your frustration that you do not go tit for tat, but stick to your guns if you so choose. You will only begin lowering yourself to a level that is unnecessary. As you said, continue to welcome intellingent discussion and substantive content. While we are free to communicate on this site, as I said before, all of us are not able to do so constructively and rather than providing intellingent and substantive dialogue some people have chosen to lower the standards. What a shame on this website and what a waste of space!

Assuming he will fall short of his agenda because all presidents to date have fallen short of their agenda is unfair and unfounded. It is likely that he will have to scale back or phase in some of his agenda slower than first anticipated given the daily growing mess that he will be inheriting.

I'm trying to figuure out if my computer and operating system have an issue dusplaying the new change.gov site or if it's the site that has issues: If anyone else has been there, please comment on the following:

When you click on "Upcoming Events" or "Press Room" in the lower left masthead, there is nothing there. Just a white page.

I submitted the initial interest message there for "Jobs" and got the form email saying I would be contacted within a few days with a link to a more thorough application process but I never got that email and it has been days. Did anyone else express interest AND you got the email with the link to the FULL application process??

I had a similar problem when I went to the site.

I read somewhere today that the website is still under construction. So, not everything you click on will actually contain "content" right now.

But, I'm glad to see the site. Once it's up and running full force, I believe it will serve the citizens well!!

Give it a little more time! I know the "Obama Administration" will be as efficient and effective as the "Obama Campaign" was.

I really hope that President-elect Barack OBAMA will consider a Chief Technology Officer in his administration. He did mention this after his meeting with Eric E. Schmidt, Google's CEO.

His main charter is to create jobs by looking across the entire industry, eliminating unnecessary boundaries and creating an efficient synergy.
This is very applicable for an area like Energy Independence that will be OBAMA's major project.

Any thoughts on this?

a ritual for foreign casualties | Report to Admin

By Marcello Nov 10th 2008 at 7:26 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 7:26 pm EST)

Now that we have a President Obama, I will press to make sure that, as a predominantly Christian and humane nation, that we abide by the rule 'to do unto others as we'd have them do unto us' and that we therefore press ahead for CURBING CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

We MUST stop using heavy military tactics and ordnance to plaster small villages and residential areas, in both Iraq and Afghanistan. These specific military tactics violate Geneva Conventions and it is completely UNACCEPTABLE if we are to claim the moral high ground. We must change the way we wage war if we are to truly win hearts and minds- by adding more troops, by working more closely with local police, military fighters, and that we take exceptional care when calling air or artillery support for our troops when they fall into harm's way.

We cannot win any 'war on terror' if our actions lead to the creation of more terrorists, and if our actions are fundamentally immoral.

Consider the number of dead Iraqi civilians in the past 5 years (100,000, according to IraqBodyCount.org to 1,000,000, according to the ORB survey released early this year) . Consider if a loved one you knew were victim of a bombing run, a strafing run, or had been dismembered by accidentally stepping on a US made unexploded cluster bomb.

The economy, the climate, these can be fixed. But you cannot fix the death of foreign innocents. You cannot fix the death of foreign children.

I get so frustrated with the conversation about this dumb woman. It took her more than four or five school to get a degree. She can read and look into a camera at the same time because she did get a degree in Journalism. This does not qualify her for anything other than the governor of Alaska. And this says alot about the intelligence and discernment of the people in Alsaka.

White House to Establish Office of Urban Policy | Report to Admin

By Debbie for Obama/Biden Thank You Jesus! Nov 10th 2008 at 7:59 pm EST (Updated Nov 10th 2008 at 7:59 pm EST)

By Al Kamen
The intense back-stabbing amongst Democrats for top jobs in the Obama administration assumes there are a fixed number of jobs worth having. But it's looking likely that some extremely choice, even consequential, jobs are going to be created by the new administration.

For example, plans are underway to establish a White House Office of Urban Policy in order to better coordinate federal efforts to help America's cities, according to Obama transition co-chair Valerie Jarrett.

"He's going to have a White House chief of urban policy," Jarrett told the Trotter Group, an organization of black columnists.

She declined to divulge any names of potential choices for the post. "I'm sure there are plenty of candidates. It's a great job," Jarrett said.

Despite the many national problems confronting the new administration, she continued, Obama remains committed to earlier pledges to establish such an office. "Because he began as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, he understands at the local level is really where you can impact change and that local government can play a vital role as we try to jump start our economy," she said. "So having somebody in the White House, because there are so many different agencies that really can impact urban America and to have one person whose job it is to really pull all of that together, is really a critical position. And there are plenty of terrific candidates for that spot."

DNC Chairman Howard Dean will not seek second term

1 hr 30 mins ago

WASHINGTON – Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean plans to step down from his post when his term expires in January, wrapping up a tenure in which the party heavily invested in all 50 states for a payoff that helped elect Barack Obama president.

...

Dean was the architect of a "50-State Strategy," investing money and staff in every state — including those where Democrats had long fared poorly — to build party infrastructure and lay the groundwork for electoral gains. The Obama campaign, working with DNC organizers in all 50 states, won several states that had not elected a Democratic president in decades, including Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana.

State party chairs were generally thrilled with Dean's approach, while some Democratic leaders in Washington complained early on that the party's money would be better spent helping candidates who had a real chance of winning.

The disagreement broke into open warfare in 2006, when Dean clashed over money and strategy with New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who ran the party's successful effort to win back control of Congress. Last week, Emanuel accepted the job of White House chief of staff in an Obama administration.

Some of Dean's most vocal detractors were former advisers to President Clinton. They include strategist James Carville, who once called Dean's leadership at the DNC "almost Rumsfeldian in its incompetence."

During Dean's tenure, Democrats regained control of Congress in 2006, and captured the presidency in 2008 while increasing their numbers in the House and Senate.

Dean proved tough in enforcing party rules when he punished Florida and Michigan earlier this year, stripping them of their delegates for holding primaries ahead of schedule. The issue was eventually resolved at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August, with all the delegates restored.

Dean is a physician and former Vermont governor.

I honestly hate the idea of Dr. Dean not being at the helm of the DNC, he's bright, focused, not much ego... and his 50 state theory really did help us move the country back in the right direction. Is there a way we can change his mind? I'm willing to make some calls. I believe with the current financial problems, it would be prudent for there not to be great shifts in leadership at the DNC. It's going to take at least a couple of Dems in the oval office to really get this country back in good shape. JMO!

For those of us who gave repeatedly over the past 12 months, these non-stop appeals for more donations are beginning to grate. Obama needs to keep his powder dry for 2012, or we will all be experiencing severe donation fatigue by then.

As to this appeal from the DNC, I personally would like to know how much of these requested donations are earmarked for retiring Hillary's campaign debt. I, for one, have no intention of paying off her debts to her incompetent advisors.

I'm donating, but would love to have a shirt I could wear.

Aren't there as many female supporters as there are male supporters?

What is the balance on Obama's campaign fund? | Report to Admin

I find it a bit annoying to be asked to donate to the DNC, while I have no idea how much money wound up left in the Obama campaign fund, to which I contributed greatly. Surely, THAT should be given to the DNC before us Obama supporters start kicking even more money in. I think the Obama and DNC funds should be considered joint efforts. We can raise money again for Obama in 2012. If the Obama campaign fund was drained, or went into debt, I'd like to know it. I did not contribute to Barack's campaign to establish a trust to be held until 2012. Those donations were for the here and now, and I'd like them used to cover the DNC's debt if they can be.
