After watching the 60 minutes interview last night...

[scheming daemons]

I'm not going to worry about who Obama names to what cabinet post.

I won't care if every "group" is represented adequately.

I won't care about the vetting process of Hillary or anyone else.



I know that the right decision will be made in each case.


Why?


Because after watching that interview last night, one thing became abundantly clear:


the President-Elect is a freakin' grown-up.... for the first time in a long time.

1. Right! He's got it under control! n/t

[Egnever]

2. Amazing how comforting that is

I agree. We finally have someone running the show that isnt playing political games but hoping to do whats best for the country.

It has been a long time coming. Probably the first time I have seen it in my 42 years on this planet and I find it amazingly comforting.

3. Maybe not "in each case," but definitely in most. And...

...we just need to be vigilant and persistent with the rest.

NGU.

4. Throughout the interview, we were sitting there saying things like ...

"We have a President who can answer a question! We have a President with thoughts and ideas and the ability to think things through. He reads! He gathers information from multiple sources before making a decision, yet he completely recognizes that the final decision will be his alone. He's a grown-up!!!"

:bounce:

5. indeed he is a grown up.

and not revealing anything either to the media whores.

6. And yet all the hand wringing continues...

:spank:

7. Also, I liked what he said about doing things that work.

If they don't work, he will change his policy. I was apprehensive about both Hillary's and his centrism, the reason that I supported neither in the primaries. I feel a little bit better now about allowing him to make mistakes. He has assured me he will not continue with any policy that has proven not to be workable.

I have a President that is not only brilliant and charismatic, but who is practical, a realist and who can learn from his mistakes too.

8. I know I was watching his eyes

and you could see real intelligent thoughts going through them. I found myself almost crying when asked about closing the prison or not he answered firmly yes immediately and said we are not a country that tortures. It was very strong.

I could tell when he wants to make something crystal clear he will.
