If you want to bring up changes you would like to see with the new admin, there is a website where Obama & Biden can be sent messages. I am sure that they do not read everyone but the staff will then summarize the issues and present the issues to them and the admin.
No other admin has done this so it makes me feel as if they really do want to hear what we have to say. I realize that no admin can fix it all or do it fast, if they can, but effort is half the battle.
Here is the link...

By the way, please do not come here to bash anyone. Let us keep it nice.
Thanks

I'm not a US citizen.But like me people of the world interested in America's role in the world politics.As a citizen of the world I want Obama's administration should take an action to withdraw US army from Irak and restore that country's economy.US has also great role to face terrorism.I think Obama's administration will take an united action with other countries to crush the terrorists.I think as an outsider I have no scope to send message to Obama or Biden.So I'm expressing my feelings through you and myLot.

Most of all I just would like to see him restore the positive symbolism of the American presidency.
Although I was a child, I can still remember a lot of the Kennedy presidency. I recall the evenings spent watching the news with my parnets and seeing the American president beseiged by cheering rock star crowds all over the world. It made Americans feel good about themselves and when Americans feel good about themselves, everything is possible. When Kennedy said he wanted to put a man on the moon, we knew we were going to the moon and so did the rest of the world. It seemed like the entire world dreamed a little bit of the American dream.
We have had glimmers of that old confidence when Clinton went to Ireland and when Reagon went to the Berlin wall. But in the last eight years, the American presindency has come to represent darker things. It would be wonderful to once again have an entire presidency of possibility. That to me, would be the greatest change and the stating point of all other change. I have high hopes that Obama can give that kind of leadership.

I would llike to see a change in the USA foreign politics especially towards the Israeli-Palestinian question. I would like to see the USA new government doing its utmost to make these two countries to settle their difference once and for all. Many blood has been shed on both sides. Both sides might have valid reasons. There is so much hatred between the two nationalities. May God grant them peace but it is up to us human beings to help them achieve this.

I understand where you are coming from but here is another way to view it. SHOULD the USA get involved anymore in foreign problems? Due to our involvement, we have been attacked. Two huge ones that come to mind are Pearl Harbor and September 11.
I am not saying that we should or should not but wondering what you think, and others.

I think it's wonderful to have a new Administration coming in who at least is showing a willingness to let the people have some say in what happens. It's interesting that I just watched a show about "The Decider" on MSNBC and hosted by Chris Matthews. It will be nice to have leadership but not arrogance because there really is a difference.

You wrote, "It will be nice to have leadership but not arrogance because there really is a difference."
I agree. I do not feel like he feels he knows it all, that is the difference. He is smart, and knows a lot but those who think that they know it all always screw up (aka Bush style).

I think that is a great way to listen to the people, if they do listen.. It would be great to have your say and then see if it helps to make much needed changes in the way the country is run.. We do elect these people to work for us, so maybe this will help, I hope so..

I remember him saying, at one point, that the voice of the public is important to him. He wants to be there to do what is best for us and wants to hear from us so he can try and figure that out.
No one president will get it all right. No one can ever get it all right, but all anyone can do is try to do what is best for as many people as possible. Isn't that all we can ask?
:D
