My question to the new President would be “What are you going to do to reach across the aisle to create a new bipartisan relationship during your “honeymoon” (the first few weeks of a new President’s term).”

Mr./Madam President -
How will you take back this country and make it whole again? How will you restore America as a beacon of light to the world?

Mr. Obama, please be a real guy and leave the platitudes at the White House gate. While you can’t just “fix” all the problems, you can be an open minded, good listener. As we always tell our little boy, “make good choices!” That’s the best advice I can give…make good choices based on the good of the people, and not ONE SMALL SECTION of society. Oh, let your wife have free reign. I’m sure that with all her talents and class, she will be an effective first lady who will do more than talk about books.

Get out of Iraq now. It was a horrible idea in the first place. Yes there will be chaos, but that will likely happen whenever we leave. Stop playing “nation building.” Stop relying on your “commanders on the ground.” They were there to win the war. They did. We elect CIVILIAN leadership to run the military. Get out now.

Dear President Obama,
I would like to know
a: how familiar you are with the following:
1: PNAC (Project for a New American Century)
in particular, the report issued in Sept 2000 entitled “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” which states that the process could be long unless helped by a “catalyzing and catastrophic event…like a new Pearl Harbor” which appears to come in the form of 9/11.
2. Tim Osman (the name given to Osama Bin Laden when he worked for the CIA)
3. The “coincidence” that numerous wargames were being carried out in the US on the morning of Sept 11, 2001 which included flying jet planes into buildings and that crisis communications exercises involving bombs exploding in metro trains in the London underground were being carried out on July 7, 2005.
4. HR 1955 “The Violent Radicalization and Home Grown Terrorism Prevention Act” and its extremely vague wording which leaves ample room for interpreting certain instances of free speech as terrorism, such as when it espouses views other than those supported by the US government.
and b:
The 911 Truth movement has gone international and is demanding a truly independent and international investigation into what exactly transpired on Sept 11, 2001. Do you support the people’s desire to expose the whole truth that lies behind those atrocities?
Thank you in advance for your remarks.

PUHLEEZ follow through on your promise for Universal Healthcare!!! The U.S. is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not have universal health care and about 47 million Americans are without health insurance coverage. SHAMEFUL!!!

Fix Health care..Stop The War and the senseless
loss of life

Regardless of the winner,
“How does it feel breaking a glass ceiling?”

Please - never say the word change again. And don’t pull the troops out of Iraq before the job is complete. I not expecting you will, but you’ve promised to, and that’s one white lie that’s going to be hard to explain.

Have you updated your myspace page? (because being the President is kind of a big deal.)
Don Hallett // March 6, 2008 at 12:08 am
Can we please have a cat AND a dog in the White House?
Myrna Lamb // March 14, 2008 at 10:26 am
Congratulations! It took fortitude to run this race and stamina to complete it, qualities needed to repair America’s standing in the world.
My hopes are that you will:
> push forward on universal health care. It’s deplorable that we are without it.
> end the use of torture. It’s anathema to all the USA has ever stood for.
> raise the minimum wage. People seem to have forgotten that it was intended to be a “living wage.”

Want to jump start the economy? Stop Federal Income Tax.
…and hire Ron Paul as an economic advisor.

Its about time you sat down and talked to me.
What the heck are you going to do about our energy situation?
Is this country on the brink of bankruptcy, and if so will we be turning to euro dollars for our currency?
Before i leave or get thrown out of your office
tell me something good.
