he must be in the middle...if he wants to be a consensus builder he needs a very strong Treasury Secretary and an Energy Secretary who will not bend over for OPEC
i would like to not see Al Gore involved, nor John Kerry or anyone else far left...find centrists, find pragmatic problem solvers and people who can work together beyond ideology
i have no names for you other than seeing Rudy as Attorney General...no greater prosecutor ever. he will go after each and every person responsible for the collapse. put party aside and find the best people for the job. i think he'll do that...at least i hope he will
if he is going to investigate wall street, he must investigate washington...including frank and dodd for any responsibility with fannie and freddie

i hear ya. i guess i was lookin for a few names that you found to be trustworthy. from the ron paul support you had and have i guess i was lookin for an endorsement from a view point of supporting a specific agenda. when you have time drop a few names for specific spots on the board. and, in your opinion what would be the very first thing he attempts to tackle. i say the educational system. if he says he would gain economic support by building from the bottom up, i would think that establishing an educational system that would begin to solidify our kids at an early stage and grant teachers a more competitive salsry base. i agree that incentives and being held directlly responsible for their students progress should factor into those incentives but also requiring parents to be ore directly involved on that process.
just an example of where my daughter goes to school (public) is that on the first day the school required parent to attend a meeting either at 8:40 am or 5:30 pm. me, i am thinkin i would go early and it wouldnt be so crowded but lo and behold i didnt have a seat and had to get a spot along the walls of the gymnasium. although she does attend one of the best elem. schools i didnt expect such a big turn out but it wasnt a total shock. in my opinion this is what being involved does for early childhood development. it assures the teachers that the parents are in support of their childrens education. i could go on but i am really pumped and excited about this. last nite i woke my lil one up (8) to watch the speech and amazing to see she was really excited as they has an election of their own at her school with the same results.lol
i hope that we as in my people can begin to respect ourselves as we now have a serious commitment to uphold in the american eye. i overstand the disagreements that white america has with our actions but in order o overstand the why's of the problem we must put away the stereotypes that are more of a hinderence than anything.
choice is a bad muhfuka and last nite was a start to where an understanding between races can begin to negotiate a healing process that will not be solved overnite but at the same time it is a seat that both ends of the table must take. as my manz said last nite, "yes we can" i believe that obama can uphold the characteristics he has displayed along the campaign trail. unlike any other president he has a mighty load to carry as he will be judged with a microscope and dissected with a knife. but, as his leadership has shown, an education and communication skills can take a person beyond their wildest dreams, i believe that education should be first and foremost amongst his many problems that require modifications.
get at me koaj and anybody else with reasonable thoughts on the new presidents most glaring solutions to solidifying our foundation in order to right this ship.

kalind, didn't get to read your whole post, but i read the beginning and wanted to comment. The education system does need reform, but i don't trust the gov't and public education teaching my (future) kids, do you? Maybe not that i don't trust them, it's just to overhaul the current system to something that works better, while needed, is almost impossible. I remember Obam saying something about universal pre-school, and imo that's exactly whats wrong here. You learn the most in your first couple years, and we don't have families anymore, rather people looking to dump their kids at daycare, and then pre-school, and so on. What needs to CHANGE, is what we as people do, not what we expect our gov't to do for us. Raising better children would be a good start
We need a Societal overhaul, if that is a word. people lost their way, we need to get real and piss on on Consumerism, a return to the reality in the differences between 'Necessities', and 'Luxuries'

Obama wants to build the economy from the bottom up, then we need to do the same with education. Give parents school choice, hold bad teachers accountable, and reward good teachers. Set a national minimum standard of expectations for students to graduate and then allow local districts to implement the curriculum of their choosing to obtain that result.
It's funny, his economic model is the opposite of his govt model. He wants big govt providing services from the top down.

The education system does need reform, but i don't trust the gov't and public education teaching my (future) kids, do you? -------- i couldnt agree more...govt has fucked us in every direction, retirement, corruption, mismanagement, and most importantly education
obama talks about bottom up...well bottom is family. make that strong and education will be much easier. i dont know how you do that though...i will try and do for my kids what my parents did for me which is sacrifice everything to make sure my brothers and i had everything we needed to succeed
fwiw - economic growth cannot be built from the bottom up. since the bottom has only what it needs to survive, there's nothing to build from or off of. the bottom needs opportunity which are jobs, new businesses, SBA loans, etc not a check from Big Brother

he believes government is the answer to most problems when it has never and should never be.
the answer is freedom, responsibility, and choice. less taxes, less government equals freedom which in turn means more responsibility for the choices you make in your day to day decisions. choice about health coverage, what school your kids go to, how you invest for your retirement
the most that government can do is to get out of the way and force self reliance

i sent my daughter to montessori school from the age of three up to 1st grade. i then sent her to one of the best if not the best public school that has heavy parental involvement as well as a very well structured teacher setting where they are highly qualfied and their credentials are for every parent to see. i absolutely love this school as does my daughter. on the weekends she attends a math camp at marygrove college and after that ends she will be into the literary camp. what i am saying is that i do think that public schooling can and will work if everybody is involved. yes, there are bad schools and plenty of them, but with a combined effort i do think that it can work.
i would like to see free choice of schooling and some incentives for our educators if they meet certain criteria in student performance and if they dont meet them, no, you dont fire them but put them on a probationary period to see what can be done to remedy the problem. but, like i said earlier i think it is parental involvement that is key to a well rounded eduactional atmosphere. when you make learning a family thing it becomes second natured almost like using the restroom. for me, both me and my wife attended the same college together. we understand the importance of a pre-paid college tuition program, savings bonds, the michigan educational savings programs where we will have our kids tuition paid before they get to high school. it's our furture thats at stake here and i do believe the foundation is the family/staff cooperation that nurtures a healthy learning atmosphere.

do as i say, not as i do guys, tend to be the best leaders
i know that sounds backwards, but i'm not sure 'lead by example' works, maybe it's more that it doesn't happen then that it doesn't work. I mean, look at the gov't. if you lived your life like they run their/our biz, how would you make out?

no these type of people make the best crooks. Do as i say, not as i do has nothing to do with lead by example. What it means is they like other people to follow the rules while they break them.

kalind - rahm emmanuel is a former bill clinton staffer who is very close to nancy pelosi. he is very very partisan from everything ive read (even from Paul Begala...another ex-Clinton guy)...and of course, he is from Chicago. i look forward to the appointment Ayers as the Education Czar
if he wanted to build a consensus this is the worst possible choice

KOAJ,
I live in new york state, so i know all about Rudy. The guy is another one of these guys who like to tell people what morals to follow, but he doesnt follow them himself.
Am 100 percent there are better candidates out there for the job.
Iam disappointed in Obamas chief of staff. I was hoping that he would have picked somebody who could work with the republicans better. I hope his next selections start getting better.
