Ehe, ehe! some of you guys think that it is so easy to cram hords of good natured but unexpeirenced people in the white house and be able to rule one of the most powerful country and the global society it influences strogly. Remember also the fact that lots of clinton and Republican supporters too voted for Obama.
He needs to balance all sides and assemble talents, experiences, experties by putting together the best of brains but yet coordinate, build consensus, guide and put them to work for the fulfilment of his core policies of change in general.
If we now start getting mad at Obama even before he took over the task presidensy I think that it tells aa lot about us that about the president elect. Well, if we know so much as to what others must surely do with their job why can’t we do it ourwselves with regard to our own political affairs?

And then again Obama has already done the imposible and the miracle that have never been demonistrated by anyone by standing up tall and cool and making history from the scratch and becoming the first black president of the United States of America.

That magnificient role model and Godely achievement has already done its migical work of uplifting and skyrocketing most black as well as all the minority identity and self concept to the high levels. His presidency and the good work that will surely follow is only additional gatis to be enjoyed.

Elias
I am also loosing hope on Obama. Is he going to appoint the Clintons? So what is new? It was Clinton who called Meles a new generation of leaders. Clinton via HIV and poverty is now working with Meles. We were hoping to see new faces in Obama’s adm., but what we see is a bunch of those stupid persons. Sorry for being cheated by Obama till now.For sure he will end up being an African disgrace and shame if he continues nominating those stupid guys.

I was one of the volunteers who invested valuable time to get Mr. Obama elected. I am very disappointed to see these old retreads from the Clinton era coming back for power and possibly to negatively influence the “change” we expected from mr. Obama. It is a fact that the Clinton’s policies as bystanders devastated africa when they were in the white house and they are very corrupt. I will give Mr. Obama a year to see the direction he is heading and plan to work to get him defeated in the next election if he doesn’t deliver the changes he promised. We need Omama 1 and not Clinton 3.

It is excellent to point out about the emerging weak points, but at the same time be faire enough to be patient and wait to see as Obama settles down and start taking practical pesidential activities.

Mr.Clinton is through corrupt and lacks nominal moral and ethical responsibilies as his White house affaires with Monica Lewinsky clearly demonistrated. That was only the tip of the ice berg.
