Democrats prepare to move forward with investigations of Bush administration...
...“The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who sits on two committees, Judiciary and Intelligence, that are examining aspects of Mr. Bush’s policies.
Topics of open investigations include the harsh interrogation of detainees, the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, secret legal memorandums from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and the role of the former White House aides Karl Rove and Harriet E. Miers in the firing of federal prosecutors.....

DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE
EXCLUSIVE: Agenda disappears from Obama Web site
From the Washington Times
Over the weekend President-elect Barack Obama scrubbed Change.gov, his transition Web site, deleting most of what had been a massive agenda copied directly from his campaign Web site.
Gone are the promises on how an Obama administration would handle 25 different agenda items - everything from Iraq and immigration to taxes and urban policy - all items laid out on his campaign Web site,www.BarackObama.com.
Instead, the official agenda on Change.gov has been boiled down to one vague paragraph proclaiming a plan “to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.” ...

The words and agenda may have disappeared but I doubt the policies have changed.

DO THE PEOPLE HAVE A SAY AT ALL?
Who will take Obama and Biden's senate seats? Well no one knows for sure yet, but it doesn't look like the voters will have anything to do with it.
from the Washington Times
..."In the Prairie State, Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich will name Sen. Barack Obama's replacement — that is, if the embattled governor, who is being investigated for corruption, manages to hold onto office. Mr. Blagojevich briefly flirted with the idea of creating a special commission to help make his pick, but appears to have abandoned the idea. The governor … may not announce anything before Christmas," the columnist said."...
..."Over in Delaware, it isn't even yet clear who will do the appointing. Joe Biden has suggested he's in no hurry to relinquish his seat, so the task might fall to incoming Democratic Gov. Jack Markell, rather than outgoing Democratic Gov. Ruth Ann Minner. Rumors indicate the Delaware political establishment is coalescing around the idea of appointing a placeholder who would carry the seat until 2010, when Mr. Biden's son, Attorney General Beau Biden, could run for the Senate. "...
I really feel like if you are going to run for President then you should give up your senate seat and let the people decide on your replacement, but hey that's just me.

AMERICA SERVES
Whether you like it or not.
from the office of the President-elect change.gov
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start
I wonder if we get to choose the type of community service, or will obama just give us a list to pick from?

CHANGE THAT MIGHT BE HARD TO SWALLOW
The following is from Time for a new contract with America by Rahm Emanuel.
Obama's new Cheif of Staff.
here's just a small sample
"...John Kennedy was right: A nation is defined not by what it does for its citizens but by what it asks of them. If your leaders aren't challenging you to do your part, they aren't doing theirs. We need a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us by establishing for the first time an ethic of universal citizen service. All Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 should be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic civil defense training and community service. This is not a draft, nor is it military. Young people will be trained not as soldiers, but simply as citizens who understand their responsibilities in the event of a natural disaster, an epidemic or a terrorist attack. Universal citizen service will bring Americans of every background together to make America safer and more united in common purpose..."

HE WANTS TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD
DON'T LET HIM
Thank God for football today, it will be a much needed distraction from the all the craziness. I have never in my life seen so many people in complete denial about a person. All the libs I talk to repeat the MSM garbage. They say Palin is stupid, or she scares me (I have even had republicans say that shit to me). That all of the stuff about Obama is just made up from the right. Some even are ok with socialism. If we somehow manage to dodge this bullet, it will only be that much harder next time. The generation that’s coming has no idea about hardships. They have every convenience, cars, computers, cell phones, everything. They are equalized at school; no one gets "F's" just an E instead. They are being taught that America is bad, selfish, mean etc...They read propaganda in the newspapers, they hear it on T.V. They get commentary from their teachers. I have had to fight the whole time my kids have been in school to keep them grounded and to not believe everything the teachers tell them, that they should find out for themselves if something the teacher tells them doesn't sound right to them. I have had to go to the school more times than I care to remember to complain about Bush bashing, Fox bashing, war bashing etc...The only hope we have to keep "Our America" is for Parents to never let their children forget where we came from, how we got here, and who died to protect us. If we do end up with an Obama administration, I will revisit the idea of homeschooling depending on how fast he tries to change things in our schools. I decided against it initially because I wanted my children to learn to fight against what they will no doubt have to face in the adult world. But for now, I will spend the next few days praying that God have mercy on us and not give us what we probably deserve, but to give us strong, honest leaders who will protect life, liberty and freedom.

IS THERE ROOM UNDER THAT BUS?
He didn't know she was here illegally, and by the way throw the book at her. What a nice man that Obama is.
"CHICAGO (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed"...
