Poll question: What's the FIRST thing Obama should do after being inaugurated?
I know the temptation will be to say that he should end the occupation of Iraq, but we've been told over and over again that this isn't going to happen (at least not right away), so it's not included as a poll choice. So what should Obama do first?

Even though I live in Maryland now.

Hopefully in about five years. Until then, visits!

Find internet access and vote in the PBS "Is Sarah Palin Qualified to be Vice President" online, unscientific poll.

(I am sure it will still be around, and will still be 49%-49%)

37. Great question Barbara considering the knowledge of Todd Palin
sitting in her meetings.

That video looks like it was from March making Barbara's question some incredible foresight.

31. Please.. no one here should assume anything until all the votes are in, and uncontested.
I've seen a few too many threads today doing some preemptive ponderings, fantasizing, or celebrating. we're not done. Not until we can be sure that everyone gets to vote. Right now tens of thousand of democrats are being purged from the voters rolls. we can't rest until the votes are all in.

32. Recind EVERY executive order and signing statement ever issued by bunkerboy.
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 06:17 PM by TankLV
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

2) FIRE ALL WHITE HOUSE STAFF - after making sure they train all hand-picked DEMOCRATIC staff.

3) Leave the WHITE HOUSE while it begins an "extensive remodeling and cleaning" to remove all bugs, etc.

4) Make sure all bush* appointed staff IN ALL AGENCIES are IMMEDIATELY shown the door and their offices and computers and files LOCKED...

oh - and lastly -

5) Personally interview EVERY FUCKING SECRET SERVICE AGENT and make sure he/she is a LOYAL DEMOCRAT. Period. If there is ANY outcry, just tell them he'll give their complaints the same consideration that bush* and cheney gave all the justified subpoenas and requests for information...
