CNN

Stop bashing Obama's change. This is like a Catch-22, He'll get criticized for picking people who have ZERO experience but hey, they're fresh faces. Or he picks people with experience who have the talents to get us out of the Republican-involved mess, but they aren't fresh faces. So what if we've seen them before? Just shut it and let Pres-Elect Obama do his job. (Hell, he hasn't even been inaugurated yet!)

Go Mr President exellent Job God Will be with you at all times

I think Obama should let Bob Gate go too because he serve with Bush and he might keep same policy. Now Bush make all the word hate Americans and the country hate each other so Gate should go too.

I see CNN closed the Bush's values story real fast. Bush has no soul to sale and he only has selfish values which I am sure he will keep. He need to be put on trail for his action and values.

I strongly believe that Obama got elected because God wants him to save this country. After the disasterous policies of Bush's 8 years of presidency, we all desperately need a president who has the intelect and the vision to save this country from the abyss that it currently is in.

Someone stop Mayor Bloomberg from increasing fares on buses and subways.

This is really getting interesting. Most all of these picks could have just as well been picked by McCain. This is so close to center that those 60,000,000 people that voted for Obama must be wondering when they pulled the bait and switch. Republicans should be reasonably happy with these results.

Judging by the cabinet and underlings so far, the Palestinian holocaust won't be ending anytime soon. Unless of course the final solution Israel is proceeding with accelerates. American media would ignore that as well.

If Obama really wants to promote unity, he'll appoint McCain to a position. I was hoping he would have done so already.

WHO IS JOHN GALT?

Is there some way we could see a couple of faces that aren't the same old faces we've seen for decades in Washington D.C.????

"Change".....What was all that about, anyway?

Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Podesta, Gates, Emanuel, Daschle...and the list keeps going. Is this the change we signed up for, the same old Washington insiders that have been there for decades? The President-Elect hasn't even taken office yet and he has already broken campaign promises. I guess we all need to face that fact that he's just another politician, going into bed with the same old recycled Washington politicians. Disappointing to say the least.

God bless George W. Bush. We owe him a lot for keeping us safe since 9/11.

What is taking so long in nominating Hillary Clinton for Sec of State?

Did the President Elect forget that he would not have been elected without her support and Pres Clinton's as well?

Bush will leave the office with a legacy of having started a war unnecessarily that killed thousands of our young solders. I would be beyond consolation if I were in his shoes. His legacy will be a question mark on just what type of values he brought to the White House to begin with. He is without a doubt America's dumbest President and seemingly remains unaware of the reputation he has earned and the damage he has done to ruin our economy and our reputation worldwide.

I am anxiously awaiting the Muslims to speak out about the tragic killing of innocent men, women and children in Bombay. I am shocked that they are silent. If the clerics had any guts they would speak out against this unjust and cowardly attack against innocent human beings.

I am just sick with the sicko Muslim terrorists. Or should I say cowards. Yeah, they have to select unarmed innocents. If they are so brave, why not attack a well armed military or the US Marines. Give me a break.

Barack is truly hitting the ground running because he doesn't have to name a single cabinet member until after January 20th. He's doing a subperb job.

Kudos to him. I made the best choice.

What has happened to the Situation Room? I think most of us are tired of hearing about the bombing in India. Please stop taking up the entire Situation Room with this! Isn't there anything else going on in the world? I'll resume watching Wolf when he gets back to his regular programming. In the meantime, I have my cable tuned to smooth Jazz.

And then will he go ahead and name Bill Clinton as the new President just to complete the resurrection of the entire administration?

For that, I am genuinely grateful. May God restore the dignity of this nation...and bless the world with peace.

That would be a gift for America that can't come soon enough from Santa Obama...

President-elect Obama has already done more for America than Bush did in his tenure. The office of president is far above Bush's capabilities. America's new president,,,,,President Obama, more than likely will go down in history as the greatest president America t has ever had. No,,,i am not a african- american. I am almost eighty years young,,,,,,,,and i am a white american. My mother was a hill-billy from Tennessee,,,,,,,More than likely if my mother was aware that America was going to have a black president,,,,she would turn over in her grave. Our next president,,,,,,,president Obama has certainely got his work cut out for him. I wish him well. America is long overdue for a true leader.

Oh my! The naievity – breath taking. His departure is like the liberation of Paris 1944. May we never see his likes again

And Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana for Energy Secretary! Brilliant man!

I am really disappointed. Obama promised us change and look what he does. He surrounds himself with the good old boys who have been part of the problem. Surely there is new blood out there somewhere. Why bring back those who have help create the problems we have today. Am really disappointed

look like 1992 cabinet
where are the promises for new faces,change and ect..........
dont forget monican
remember american values to give the heroes #1 one spot

Wow, thats fast.....Obama means business

Republicans, who needs 'em?

I have to laugh at the press questioning Obama`s appointments.It seems that you are trying to create a "Catch-22" scenerio, whereby if he picks unknowns he is creating a naive government doomed to failure;or he does the smart thing and picks the "Best and Brightest" & fails the CHANGE mantra. Either way he loses! As far as I can see; he is picking people who will get the job done!! Barack Obama is the real change; and the public gets it, even if the press doesn`t. I am still waiting to see if (God willing) Bill Richardson and Chuck Hagel are included in the new administration. It is obvious that the new Pres.- Elect is a man who dares put powerful personalities together; to serve not only him; but the U.S. as a DREAM TEAM!

The right wants more Republicans, the left wants more liberals. Sorry folks – its the right people for the right job. Period.

I am grateful that Obama is putting his party together. Change is happening now.

I hope Omama-claus is planning on giving coal to every rightwing neo-tard out there. Most of them would consider that a good gift anyway, they are so endeared to the fossil fuel industry.

I cann't wait for the economy to be "fixed" !! This trickle up theory has me really concerned,the homeless,and minimum wage workers are Obama's solution,I just cann't see how this will work !!

I sure hope his new Cabinet will be able to "FIX" the economy.

Obama has selected a 'perfect' team for his cabinet. They offer the intelligence, experience,diversity and status necessary to bring the change we need. They are ready to hit the ground running. There is no time to wait.

Asked how he is going to sift through multitude of opinins, perspectives and egos from the large team of economic advisors, Obama said something like – I deliver "Change", not all of them. Did I say ego clashes ??

Despite the financial mess that Lil' Bush got us into, it appears that Wall Street is reacting favorably this week to Obama's picks.

Just make sure that they are the right republicans.Bi-partisan politics
will be needed to help the country out of the hole it is in,but you need the proper mix of those who share the common goal.Nice to see that
the new administration will be ready to go come January 20th.

At least Hilary will have her husband to advise her if she gets in a situation she cannot handle. Condoleza Rice did a great job and she worlked quietly and effienciently in the background. I just hope Hilary exhipts a fraction of her diplomatic behaviour.
I am glad Obama is using Hilary in a strategic position. she worked very hard during her campaighn. I am Republican but I do see the need Obama has to be wise in his decisions. I do not agree with all he has said but I will pray for and support him and his family because he will need prayers in leading our great country. I just hope he keeps it safe as Bush has and that he will make wise decions for our future.

ummmm yeah....ummm one problem.....Barack Hussein Obama is not constitutionally eligible to appoint a cabinet

his nat sec team ,including hillary, is a real problem with me. if we are not seeing signs of beginning a withdrawal by march, let the demonstrations begin.

To all those in the media who are complaining that Obama is bringing in people who have a background in their fields, and not opting for inexperienced and incompetants like Bush did- Experience, intelligence, and expertise is the kind of change the country needs! If you were more interested in reporting facts instead of creating controversy and conflict, reporting news instead of trying to create news, the nation would be better off.

You go President-Elect Obama! We are behind you 100%!

Obama/Biden 08-16

President elect Barack Obama brings intellect and pragmatism ...his community organization knowledge and skills are in use. wonderful.

Quite an accomplishment for this gifted President-Elect! A great flock of Eagles flying over this distressed nation! Thank God for intelligence, common sense and political savvy! Happy Holidays!

There is yet hope for the hopeless (R)! I pray for you too!

WOW is it me or does this guy look like the inspiration for the movie Revenge Of The Nerds

THE CLINTONS ARE BACK!!! and that guy obama too.

Good job. What of Sarah Palin? She will better be named the secretary for Lipstik-in-the-whitehouse. By the way, when will she donate her boutique to charity? Or has it been overtaken by events?

looks pretty impressive to me! hope they turn things around very soon.

he's on the job,I hope his vetting is not being hurried.......

Obama is working hard for us and I appreciate it.

I for one don't care who Obama picks, if they can turn us around and get us out of the mess GEORGE W. Bush has brought to our country. If his picks include Clinton people, good, I had it a lot better under Clinton than Bush and the Republicans.

The sooner we get the Shrubs out of the White House the better. I can hardly wait for our new chance at a decent life again.

This is a President with swift and direct action. He has a very resounding call to order above the chaos. He doesn't act like he has all of the answers. He shows more than a willingness to take action though. I really believe President Obama is heading for greatness. The kind that only President Teddy Roosevelt, President Franklin Roosevelt, President Kennedy and most important President Abraham Lincoln had. Barack Obama is THAT important. I truelly believe this President is on that level. Well done sir, lead on.

President Bush, please call emergency session of congress to enact emergency legislation, allowing Obama to take the reigns now. We cant wait fifty four days or whatever ...the world is disintegrating and we have to step up .

Obama = Jimmy Carter
