1. Wow! The next Energy Secretary just quoted Faulkner.....

.... does Barack know how to pick 'em or what?

That was cool. Science and the arts all in one head.

[gblady]

8. that was great.....

I am really loving what I am seeing!

[polichick]

2. This is a long awaited day for environmentalists - I'm so happy!!!

[mvd]

3. I think Jackson will be a good EPA chief

She's been criticized for not cleaning up waste sites, but the NJ Dept. has had many budget cuts and she inherited some problems.

[gblady]

4. watching it

on the teevee...
impressive team...
makes me teary eyed for some reason...
such an important task lies ahead.

[FrenchieCat]

5. I'm in energy heaven right now.

Liking Ms. Browner quite a bit.

[Clio the Leo]

6. And prepare yourself for pics of Barack.....

.... pulling out a step stool for Nancy Sutley to stand on. Showing off that chivalry again!

Cameras went crazy at that.

7. I'm sitting here smiling. What a great team he has put together

to handle our environmental issues. What a diverse and intelligent group! Great Job President Elect Obama and Vice President Elect Joe Biden!!!


:woohoo:

** And I love Lisa Jackson's mention of her children!

[Clio the Leo]

9. AND JOE IS SPEAKING!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

JOEY JOEY JOEY!!!!

He's doing a little "so, in summary, these are awesome picks" bit.

[gblady]

10. did you notice...

Joe said President Gore!!!

[firedupdem]

12. Yes!!!

LOL!! Joe gets all "tangled" up sometimes. He had Gore on his mind!

[Clio the Leo]

13. ha ha! you have to hand it to Joe....

.... when he flubs a name, he does it in a manner of PRAISE. "President Gore" and "Barack America."

[Clio the Leo]

16. ha ha, you mean he said "President Gore" and not "President Obama"?

Either way, still a compliment. lol

[Jennicut]

33. Gore will always be our 43rd President to me.

[Thrill]

11. Biden takes a right hook to Cheney

[firedupdem]

14. right in the kisser!!! Loved it!! n/t

[Clio the Leo]

17. I LOVE THAT MAN!!!!!

Still doing his attack dog thing even though the campaign is over.

[mvd]

27. Loved the timing, too

Right after Darth opened his criminal, Constitution-destroying mouth.

[Jennicut]

34. Darth is disgusting, I prefer a human version of a VP

and preferably one that likes and respects the Constitution and Joe is definitely that.

[GobamaX]

15. OMG!!!!

The first question has nothing to do with 'Blago'.

[Clio the Leo]

18. It's almost like none of them want to be the first to ask. NT

[firedupdem]

19. Here it goes....these fuckers... n/t

[mrs_p]

21. yeah, and from npr

right wing tools

[Clio the Leo]

20. See there.....

... the first reporter to ask about it framed his question almost apologetically.

[gblady]

22. here it is....

from NPR, nonetheless.....hummmm.

[gblady]

24. did ya see....

the shit eating grin on Rahm's face....
loved it!!!

[Clio the Leo]

26. YES! HA HA!!!!! NT

[gblady]

31. here's a pic....

of said shit eating grin....love it!
I have a feeling we're in for some very interesting times!!!



anyone know who the dude is with him?
never mind...Joe Podesta, the AP blurb said.

[Jennicut]

32. I can't believe I would ever like Rahm, but I love that pic

and he is growing on me. Also, the fact that the reporters have hounded him and he has not leaked a word to them makes me respect him. He will do a good job as chief of staff for our next Prez.

[gblady]

25. and....Tweety....

is going on and on about it...

not one f'n word about the energy team...

****off****

[firedupdem]

23. Thank You President Elect Obama...
