As he said, there is only one president at a time. This is not the time to undermine the current administration, what good would that do??? Cause more anxiety for all. He had plans for when he does take office. I think the conference was good idea, to show he's taking this seriously and is starting to plan for the transition. The one question from the gal from CNN about the security issues and his opinion... I liked how he didn't want to comment..very appropriate... I completely agree Juila! Great Post!!

Is levity never allowed?? I'm sure people who do rescue work were thrilled that the Obamas plan to adopt a shelter dog. Now, more than ever, light must be cast on the fate shelter animals face if not adopted and seeing the First Family choose a shelter dog over a breeders or pet stores could just inspire others to do the same. I think it's great. Was there any levity in his comments? I heard them and they sounded downright sober. No hint of humor, even in the "mutt" line he delivered. I'm talking about the question and the subject matter. I haven't actually seen the news conference yet so I have no idea what the tone was. Why do I have the feeling that absolutely nothing Obama says or does or will say or will do will get any kind of positive reaction from you?

Things may not be easy for a while, but then they wouldn't have been easy with McCain either. The problems exist no matter who was elected.

No, the problems exist at their base but are magnified by the promised tax hikes. McCain would not have raised taxes.

He's a cute little doggie!

It's the other who's a little demon. I came home the other night and found a mangled tube of doggie toothpaste on my living room floor -- she unzipped (yes, unbelievable, but she did) their travel pack and got it out. There was toothpaste, runny carmel colored poop and puke all over the place. Not.fun. but I can laugh about it now.
