[Arella]

Do you believe that all of the extra security is required to guard President-elect Obama ?

think, if he did this on tv the money that would be saved, do we really want 2 million volunteers and 1,5 million spectators in one place, especialy being the violence prone sectors of the former USA---and only 7,000 toilets----------how long untill we as tax payers pay China back this 150 million loan? payrolls for cops and troops havent been added and the clean up and the damages they will cause, I will bet this runs into a billion dollars when said and done, billion dollars to usher in the end of the Constitutution

We have 13 hours until the change starts . . .enjoy it. . .I plan on not leaving the house . .tomorrow will be my official day of mourning. . . the Jim Jones of the 21st century

Yes, I won't be watching any media tomorrow. I listen to internet radio only now, not CBS radio where the "conservative" talk show hosts are. I used to listen to them all day, but no longer.

Obama has some ominous, un-American things planned for us. His socialist party is destroying our economy purposely so that they can take over even more private industry. Their plan is to socialize everything...it's quite obvious.

Let's not forget, though, that actually "we the people" have the power. We are going to change this situation...we're going to have a Continental Congress in March that gives everyone the chance to send Washington a message: either clean up, or get out.

Right now there are regional meetings going on with the "We the People Foundation" to achieve the above goal. Check their website (www.wethepeoplefoundation.org) for the meeting closest to you. We can build a nation of patriots from the bottom up. It starts with us.

[Sharon Rondeau]

I think it's necessary because he is already so hated due to the eligibility question. He won't prove who he is, so why would we want to see him inaugurated? The truth will come out, as it always does, but he's a usurper until he proves otherwise. He will divide this nation even more than it already is. Failure can be his only accomplishment.

[Jason]

Well, the white supremacist idiots sending him death threats didn't help the matter at all. All this is is a waste of our tax money. But wasting our tax money is what the government does best.

[Mr. Republican]

What about the issue with his former Pastor of 20 years?

[Jon from Western Mass]

Yeah, it's a huge waste of money, and the threats are overblown. So far they've found: a couple goofy kids in Arkansas with a scheme so preposterous it can't be taken seriously, some stupid bikers in one of the western states who also had no chance of carrying out the plot, and an idiot who wears a nazi costume in Virginia which ended up not having enough evidence to charge him with threatening Obama. Imagine if they arrested every college kid who said Bush should be killed, everyone with a 'impeach Bush/torture Cheney' bumper sticker, and so on.
