What is the first thing you'd like to see Barack Obama do as President of the United States?
AFTER BREAKFAST: Rescind all Federal Laws and Programs that reward or punish citizens based on race, culture, language or religion. AFTER LUNCH: Rescind the Prescription Drug Bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush. Not bad for a days work, Even for President Obama.
What is your take on the Israel-Hamas conflict?
" In my opinion Islam and Islamic groups are military political organizations first and should be treated as such. They should not be considered like other religious groups or religions. The reality of all opinions should be based on *"what you do is what you are, not what you say." Islam says one thing but the reality is something completely different. The slaughter of innocents by Islam since the time of Mohamet is well documented and seems to have no end in sight. We as a people, in no way, can participate, encourage or be silent to the continuation of a system of mass murder by self serving individuals. Hamas is no different!

What "old fashioned" cultural behavior do you wish still existed in these modern times?
I would like to stroll along the beach without the 'Socialist Sons of Beaches' posting a 100 different rules and regulations . Especially the one that forbids use of the beach after 10 pm.
Now that Obama has been elected President, what is the first change you would like to see him make once he is in office?
If the President-Elect is truly a person of change the first thing he should do is rescind the Prescription Drug Bill passed by this Congress and signed by President Bush. It is true that 3-4 % of Seniors need help with their prescription drugs costs. However, this one-size fits all, bill was and is a failure before the ink dried. Even in a social welfare state Social Security, which is also failing, should have been addressed first.
Where are you planning on watching today's historical election results? Are you prepared to celebrate or for disappointment?
I think I will let Will Rogers and Judge Gray speak for me as someone that know much more than I about politics.
"If your side lost don't take it too much to heart. Remember there is always this difference between us and Italy. Mussolini runs the country. But here the country runs the president."
Will Rogers - Nov. 9, 1932
" Mr. President. Regardless of the politics of this past election, all Americans wish you good health, wisdom and fortitude as you guide our fragile experiment in democracy forward for the next four years. And if you ever feel that there is anything I can do to help you in this effort, you can always count on me"
Judge James P. Gray - Nov. 2, 2008

How do you feel about the way the Myanmar (Burmese) government is handling international aid efforts?
Most socialists, marxists, communists, authoritarian governments are afraid to accept outside aid. They have this fear that other forms of government, especially the United States, will make their form of government appear less than adequate. Which is most likely the case, which will make the government look bad in eyes of the citizens. This is so deep seated that they will punish their own people, by holding up aid, rather than show any weakness in their own system of government. Seems to me that this theme is played over and over again. Said another way; the ability of the government, Myanmar, to function does not match the official propaganda at home.
Do you support the gas tax holiday being pushed by Clinton and McCain?
NO !! The "gas tax holiday" will take away needed funds for infrastructure projects. The average citizen will receive very little benefit, increase our national debt through the back door and continue to devalue the dollar.

These people have been treated dreadfully over decades and now they are bombarded by Israel to make their plight even worse. However none of that is an excuse for the daily launching of indiscriminate rockets and mortars that has gone on for the last few years against the civil population of Israel, by Hamas.
Israel has no choice but to stop this reign of terror. It is sad to say, but the world would be more sympathetic to Israel's position if one of these missiles had destroyed a school or hospital with a large number of deaths, in Israel. Meanwhile Hamas fires from the cover of homes and schools and Israelie fire is returned with the resultant civilian casualties. It seems inevitable, from world opinion, that Israel will become the pariah of the world, for trying to protect itself.
Your conclusion, as Opra Winfrey would say of President-Elect Obama, He's Brilliant!
