Okay election day was two days ago. Time to stop celebrating and get to work. We got terrorists to defeat, we got an economic crisis that's been looming since the politicians were all too busy campaigning ti fix the problem (instead they were trying to spin it for political gain). If Obama's a true American worthy of being called "Mr. President" then he should try to fix these issues Before he takes office (even if that means the Bush Administration takes the Credit rather than the Obama one).

Doesn't he have to wait until he is inaugurated? I'm not sure how it works.

Yes he has to wait until then, which isn't until January.

what are you talking about? He won't become president until January. If anything he needs to be in his seat as Senator in Washington. Of course deciding on your cabinet and preparing for the White House is probably more of a time sink than I'll ever know.

Yeah, I have a feeling that if I just got elected and was about to be president... I would go to Disney World. He's got enough time for headaches later.

he's still celebrating?

you make it sound like he's cheering and popping champaign. I haven't seen the guy speak at all since his acceptance speech. If you knew what you were talking about AT ALL you would know they are hard at work on transitioning already, and President Bush has already begun briefing him on certain matters. He's been vetting potential cabinet members as well.

He can't do anything yet. He won't be president until January 20th. I haven't seen him do much celebrating and I believe he is getting ready to choose his cabinet.

Lol, wow , way to come in without know anything about the political process, he is the President Elect, he doesn't have power yet, not till he actually takes off. Not to mention he is getting to work, assembling his staff, and they are already talking about what needs to be done so that they can do it quickly when he becomes the President. Plus what celebrating? The most celebration Ive seen since he was elected was his speech, since then we haven't heard anything from him, he is taken all his time now preparing...this thread is fail.

The biggest mistake would be for him to rush to put a cabinet together. I'm sure he has a list, but those names need to be vetted.

wouldn't it be easier if he just kept the Bush cabinet? sure they're Republicans, but isn't Obama supposed to about reaching across party lines and uniting the country. What better way to show bipartisanship than by keeping the Republican Cabinet, unless he appoints McCain as Secretary of State or Palin as Secretary of Defense, or maybe he could appoint Bush as chief of staff.

He could do that if he wanted to make his cabinet suck.

Obama based his campaign around being the antithesis of the Bush administration.

Seriously, you're trolling here right?

He's currently in the early stages of selecting his cabinent. There is talks that he is looking to keep Robert Gates on as Secretary of Defense.

By the way, to your suggestion of Palin as SoD...
