President-elect Obama's has a new website for the transition site with a new address, change.gov.

The site is kind of lean right now. When I went to the "newsroom" area today, there were no press releases, not even anything about the announcement that Rep. Rahm Emanuel was named the new White House's chief of staff.

Change.gov also has a "jobs" area where visitors can apply for a political job in the new administration. If nothing else, Obama's website will allow his team to capture more information about supporters that can be used for future organizing and fundraising.

Articulate. Intelligent. Inspirational. What a delight to have a president-elect with these qualities, a wonderful wife and children. We have great hope, almost faith in our government again.

Sincere, heartfelt congratulations.

This is for Obama President Elect. Makes me tingle just saying it. Please do not make the CFTA part of a stimulus package. Please treat all trade agreements on a separate and individual basis and take a close look at all. The Republicans just want to stick their stuff in their too. You will be in control now and I know you have to work on the bi-partisan stuff and I know it won't be easy, but they have had the control for way too long and now it's our time. Just like you said.


PERFECT FIRST DOG: the hypoallergenic Bichon Frise! Loving, intelligent, LOVES everybody, great for children, playful, energetic, positive attitude, is a big ham, loves attention, doesn't shed, no real health problems - about 10-15 pounds, most females and up to 25 pounds in some males. Happy, sensitive, gorgeous. And, what is more appropriate than a white dog in the White House!


There is something else I wanted to tell you. First, I have been praying for the day when you or someone like you would become our President. About 6 or 8 months prior to your announcement for president, I read your book, Audacity of Hope. I was about midway through the book and I told my husband, "one day this man is going to be our first Black American President." He said "if you say so". I also told this black woman that works at my Dr.s office this and pointed to the picture on the front of the book. She did not know who you were and did not believe me. She said "no one will ever vote for a Black man." I said "this one they will." "Remember these words". "One day I will prove you wrong." When you announced your candidacy, I was so excited. I thought you would have waited another 4 years but I was never so happy and knew it would be an uphill climb. There has not been a day I have been too far from the television and have followed your every waking moment. The ones I could of course. Me like millions of Americans have been highly vested in this election but for me it seems like forever because deep in my heart when I read the Audacity of Hope, I knew Martin Luther King paid the ultimate price for you and all of those like you. Thank God the day has come. It makes waking up every day seem like a new adventure. I will pray for you every day. I'm a 56 year old white woman. I live in Georgia, however, I was not raised here. I was born in Wichita, Kansas. Raised there and California. I have much more liberal views than they do in the South. There is just one thing I want now and that's some day to have the chance to meet you. I may as well put that dream away.

Let big businesses fail they got there by greed and bad decisions given more money they will do the same, reward them selves
Start with the core of all progress the small business, ask them what they need materials, equipment, or labor the give them the funds they need. They will spend right away and as always the money will flow to the top.

The economy stimulus package is designed to help big business expand projects and jobs. For a big business to do anything, it requires meetings and reports and surveys and more meetings. Then people to figure out what is needed and then quotes and then more meetings - all at the expense of the project and the stimulus package.
All programs now considered look to big business to fix the problem, by hiring the same people who created it. All big businesses grew from a small business, a man with a goal mind.
The package should also include a stimulus package at the small business end, 10 or less employees. This is a company that knows what it needs and where to get it, has a desire to grow and expand, all this and the ability to start tomorrow. A grass roots plan without fail for even if the business makes mistakes, the money will flow into the economy in days, not months, in the form of products purchased and wages paid.
Tell them to put the stimulus package where it will do the most good. Start it at the bottom. These folks did not create this problem, help them clean it up.
