PHILADELPHIA (AP) - President-elect Barack Obama's historical
whistle stop tour to Washington has gotten under way after an
enthusiastic send-off from Philadelphia, the cradle of American
democracy.
Obama and his family and a traveling party of guests, public
officials and reporters rolled out of the city's 30th St. Station
shortly before noon under a frigid, but sunny and clear blue sky.
As the train lumbered out of the station, a conductor bellowed:
"Welcome aboard the 2009 inaugural train to DC."
The route - the same that Abraham Lincoln took nearly a century
and a half ago - was 137 miles long, and Obama's arrival in the
nation's capital was scheduled after the fall of dark Saturday.

Speaking of Palin, Russia, and the like! What ever happened with that Russian Tanker around Cuba? Did they see Fred’s Moonpie and get scared and leave?  hmmm

I don’t understand why liberals are so afraid of Gov. Sarah Palin.  She has worked hard to get where she is today and didn’t forsake her fundamental values in the process.

2BorNOT2B i want you to tell me what sarah palin has done that she could be considered our enemy? & i want you to tell me one good reason obama would make a good president? is it because every he opens his mouth contradicts himself, maybe it is beacause you liked michelle obama’s speech of how she has never been proud of her country until now, maybe it’s because barack obama wouldn’t say the pledge of allegiance until it was brought to the public’s attention that he wouldn’t, maybe is it the fact he wasn’t born in america that appeals to you most? whatever your ignorant reason is you have a right to think it & I have a right to know better! he is president i don’t like it but will respect it.
DEW26M so true especially w/ abortions we are killing more than is being born. Their is no value on human life anymore a dog or a tree means more than human life! everyone is saying america will go to heck in a handbag now, it was already on it’s way! no one has morals anymore!

2bornot you need to clarify who you support means.

Well said DEW26M.

America’s biggest enemy is “OURSELVES”, we don’t need Terrorists to kill off our population. We do a great job of doing that everyday, one by one.

What a load of garbage!

Let me share wisdom with you.  If I want to rob your house and not get caught, I need a plan.  PLAN #1: Get you so worried that someone will break in your front door that you focus all your attention on that front door.  Then, I can more easily come in your back door un-noticed and rob you. PLAN #2: Convince you that (insert name) is your enemy and I am your friend.  Preach this to you.  Constantly remind you of it.  Then, I won’t even need to break in to rob you, because I will have the set of keys you gave your bestest friend…ME!  President-Elect Obama is not your enemy.  Your enemies are at the door.  There are many enemies in the world.  The two greatest enemies of the United States live in the United States.  One can see Russia from their house.  The other you call Mr. President.  Barrack Obama is not your enemy.  Those you support are your enemy.

The Beginning of the End!
