primroseburrowsPresident-Elect Obama gives his first post-election press conference:
I really like how he's taking a cautious approach to the transition--he stresses the need to do everything as quickly as possible but wants to do it thoroughly as well. Also the bipartisan spirit in which he plans to get things done.
Dear President-Elect Obama,
Regarding your Most Important Issue, I'd like to offer some advice: Why not choose a dog from one of the many breed-specific rescue organizations? That way you'd be able to pick out a breed that's appropriate for a a dog-allergic person like Malia and you'd still be giving a needy animal a good home. After all, what dog wouldn't want to be the First Pet?
The Poodle Rescue of New England has lots of dogs that need homes. Poodles are intelligent, energetic and people-oriented (a lot like yourself, actually), and are recommended as an ideal pet for someone with allergies. A list of Poodles looking for a good home is here.
Or maybe a Greyhound? They're sweet and affectionate and don't need as much space as people think. Here's a list of Greyhounds up for adoption in the DC area.
Wishing you success in all you do,
Me

Corporations ARE the greedy people who run them. Ipso facto. The only reason most for-profit corporations do anything to support their employees is because they need them to make the CEO's paychecks bigger. And yeah, they have WAY too much sway on the government. IMO, if corporate sway wasn't there, NAFTA never would have been implemented, at least the way it is now. And a bunch of other things.
Show me one example wherein it doesn't appear forced. Just one.
None of it did. Scripted? As much as any candidate's speeches are scripted, but forced? Nah.
The first part of the question was when was he going to send low-level envoys to [list hostile countries here]. He didn't answer it.
I think he did--I took his response as an answer to the reporter's question. It's a matter of perception.
But his eyes are cautious and hesitant, which, if actions don't lie, dovetails with his overriding instincts.
Hmm. I really didn't read hesitant. Cautious, maybe, and he's never been president before, but I didn't read hesitant at all. See above about perceptions. Everyone sees stuff differently, I guess.
By the way, my choice for the dog's name: Obarkma.
Heheee! I like people names for my animals, so I'd go with something like "Ralph" or "Sam". :D
