The New York Times White House correspondents opine that Obama will be forced to abandon most of his campaign promises given the realities of the problems that his administration will face. Does this mean that many of the rookie senator cum president's ideas that he sold to millions of followeres were too naive to be realisitic? Who would have thunk it?
Even Sylvia Browne didn't see that coming.
Obama did not offer a position in his administration to DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Obama spokesmen indicated that Biden was already on staff and "one is enough".
Executive orders regulating torture of terror suspects are likely to be revoked by the incoming president. He feels that any measure used against terror suspects should be proven safe by being demonstrated on the Secretary of State.
Torture should be reserved for rare instances of real and immediate need. Joe the Plumber comes to mind.
The press corp at the White House is very happy to be rid of Bush. They say he had a difficult time expressing himself, and that it will be refreshing to have a polished speaker like Obama giving those press conferences. Obama responded that he was, uh, very, uh, flattered with the faith that the, uh, press corp puts in, uh, him.
In Iran, Hamas supporters defaced, ran over, and otherwise dissed posters of Barack Obama. MSNBC reports that this is actually a show of affection among Iranians. Apparently, our reputation among terrorists' supporters around the world is worse than we thought after 8 years of Bush. Obama immediately offered to negotiate with the demonstrators without preconditions.
