President Elect Obama should do what President Bush did when with respects to religious groups --- give the opportunity for ALL religions to give their version of Invocation.  Jewish, Hindu, Catholic, etc...  He might also include white, black, female, male, gay or straight.  Give them all 2 minutes to speak.

I believe Bush did this after 9/11 - praying for those American's killed on 9/11.

President Bush answered questions and made comments at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington today.

Did I understand him to say that his administration gave us ANOTHER stimulus package by giving us LOW gas prices since July?  

How come he can claim credit for these LOW prices but NOT the HIGH prices for the past 7 yrs? 

That's like him claiming credit for no terrorist attack since 9/11 but ignoring the FACT that 9/11 happened UNDER HIS WATCH.

If President Bush would like to try and mend some of the hate that is out there for him, it would help if he would ask the Iraqi government to release the Shoe Thrower.

If as he put it during that same meeting, it was just a shoe.  Then show your human side Mr President.  Let the man, because of what he and his family have been through over the last couple of years, go free.

LAGOS, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nneka and Chimezie Ononaku unwittingly poisoned their own four-month-old sonGiving him what they thought was a baby teething medicine, they were in fact dosing him with anti-freeze.  The bottle had been contaminated with a toxic chemical called diethylene glycol.

More than 30 Nigerian children are thought to have died recently after taking the medicine.

When Nigeria's Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) tested the medicine, "My Pikin," the results were terrifying.

It found the medicine contained almost 90ml of diethylene glycol per 100ml.

"It's a bottle of poison," the NAFDAC laboratory said.

The "My Pikin" factory's managing director and eight others have been charged with negligence. The company could not be reached for comment.

You may remember, maybe not, right after 9/11 when our government ask for our opinions on different ways a terrorist might try to harm or attack us.  Well, in my opinion, this is one of the easiest ways to do so.  They may not kill us off but they sure would cause a world wide panic. Americans would refrain from buying medicines which would in turn harm our pharmacies and clinics.  Hospitals would be overwhelmed with sick citizens that refuse to take their medicines.  Medical bills would skyrocket.

You can be certain that the lack of being able to 'trust' our government to protect us from little things like this in our medicines or food could cause more harm and death than those airplanes did on 9/11.

Speaking of trusting our government, are you listening to President Bush's latest speeches?  He and Cheney are revising their legacy.  Bush claims he kept us safe since 9/11.  He forgot to mention one thing however; if he takes claim of the safety we've had over the past 7 years under his watch, that means he must also take the blame for not stopping 9/11 from happening under his watch.

Over a week ago, President Elect Barack Obama promised Americans more details ("in the coming days", he said) about who, if anybody had contact with Governor Blagojevich about Obama's Senate seat replacement.

So far all we've seen are rumors about Rahm Emanuel having contact with aids of Blagojevich's and how the GOP are taking advantage of the situation to connect the dots or at least try to with respects to Obama's connections with Blagojevich.

Is Obama hoping the issue will just 'go away'?  Where are those 'facts' he promised about 10 days ago?

Don't get me wrong.  I don't think there's anything 'there' to cause a problem.  I do however know how the media and the GOP can make it 'appear' that they are 'hiding' something.  The last thing I want to happen is for Obama to start his presidency under some cloud like President Bush did. 

Besides, I think President Elect Obama owes his voters this information.  He's promised since day one of his campaign to tell us what we need to know, not necessarily what we want to hear.  He's also promised an 'open' administration and more a more transparent one.  Well, so far, that's not happened.

Who had contact with Blagojevich or his aids sir?  When and why did they have that contact?  What was said during that contact sir?

Get the facts out there so this scandal can be off 'your' back.
