		        <![CDATA[<p>I think maybe part of what is moving this discussion towards keeping Liebermann is the fact that so many Republicans have felt a kinship with him and his decisions over the last eight years.  There might be a political advantage with the GOP in the senate by keeping him a part of the caucus.  However I agree with all of the commentators on here who believe that he needs to be stripped of his current chairmanship of Homeland Security.   Not simply because of his actions during the election but mostly because of his rhetoric over the last five years of stoking the flames of aggressive foreign diplomacy simply because we are America.  It would seem that Joe needs to listen to what former president Clinton expounded on at the DNC convention, namely that America is best served by the power of its example not an example of its power. </p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>Your shock and disbelief is only surpassed by similar exchanges I have had with 30-somethings down here in my neck of the woods.  I have spent months talking back and forth, sometimes fruitlessly, about the failures of Bush and the lack of contrast between his policies and those of John McCain.  Many seem to solely focus on Sen Obama, relying on the shallowest talking points to prop up their arguments.  Many of these people are successful in the business world, they are friends and family who I have known for some time.  This has been an eye-opening election to say the least and only after a couple of years will I again try to talk to these people I care about concerning the most pressing issues of our day.</p>]]>

<p>It should have read, <br />
I think all of you give yourself too much credit for thinking you know exactly wheat cards Obama is holding, but it is a lot of fun to speculate, no?<br />
Obama has repeated the mantra that "trickle-down does not work" that things have to move from the bottom up. Obama has said that giving tax breaks to oil and gas companies, companies who need very little help to make large profits, makes no sense when it funds a region that is tenuous at best and provides an avenue for a large transport of our wealth. Obama has said that ensuring that loose nukes are accounted for and in control is an important aspect in protecting our security in the 21st century. Obama has said that our healthcare-system needs to cover the un-insured, that we need to provide healthcare for all children. Obama has said that we will need to create new energy jobs, competitors against oil and gas, to ensure America’s competitiveness in the future global economy.<br />
None of these things are radical when you look at the necessity and rationality of the problems we are faced with as a nation. However none of these goals will be easily accomplished, especially by one person. I have a sense that if any of his ideas are to be put into action a number of community leaders, state leaders and congressional leaders whose voices have been less than warmly received will find an ear should Obama get elected. Only with the help of the voters and the actions of local communities will America be able to create a more sustainable, regionally diverse future for America's next generations.</p>
