The tight ship president elect Barack Obama had run for the last two years is now showing signs of leaks. For months the tight lipped Obama camp let out only information as they saw fit. Since the election and a transition team has been put in place, everyday a new report of something is being rumored. Today another Clinton administration has made the cut Eric Holder has been rumored and supposedly already accepted the role as Attorney General. This of course must be voted on and vetted before he can be sworn in. There is nothing wrong with this as it is another landmark as he will be the first African American. He has been with Obama campaign as legal advisor, been a Deputy Attorney General as well as a private practice. On what kind of an AG he could be during a speech to the American Constitution Society he blasted the current administration for their tactics in the war on terror all the way from tortured prisoners to Guantanamo Bay. This is bad news for Governor Janet Napolitano who was also to be rumored on the short list. This is another slap to women as Napolitano was an early female for Obama when he was in a heated battle with Hillary Clinton. This does not mean there is not another job for her some where else. The way we get a leak a day we could fond out tomorrow she has been tapped for Homeland security remember you read it here first.

We have been talking a lot about the new presidency ahead. We hope that the Republican Party will try the indictment game like they did for the Clinton Administration. There was a lot of shady dealings in the past of the Clinton’s their was cash grabs, land deals, sexual accusations, and a enough to keep lawyers in paper for the whole eight years. This time we hope the Republican Party can refrain from getting involved in that kind of justice department issues. Barack Obama seems to be pretty clean he does keep questionable company and the issues of his birth certificate is a little odd as well. We want the Republican Party to spend the next four years refining an agenda that the country can believe in. Work toward getting stronger candidates to run for congress. Promote the party to have a ticket in 2012 that can take back the Whitehouse. We just hope that when it comes to finding out things about the Obama past they leave that stuff on someone else’s plate.

We came across IT Planet while doing work for one of our customers. They offer discount hardware for businesses on a wide range of business systems. They have a large selection of  video surveillance cameras as well as other items. The uses of this equipment can be incorporated in any size business and is essential for crime and theft prevention. If you are using a visible security system this will cut theft just by the sheer presence of the equipment. You will be able to view in real time what is going on as well as have video capture of the incident for proof. This is great even you have no external customers but a way to cut shrinkage by your own internal customers. They also stock bar code label printers, barcode scanners, touch screens for POS, these things make inventory tracking a snap as well as incoming and out going stock. The website is great as it is not to busy and easy to navigate. They have a Low Price Guarantee and same day shipping the company slogan is Discount Technology for Business. IT Planet is a worldwide distributor and has been selling barcoding, RFID, point-of-sale equipment and labels for over 12 years. There customers include members of the Fortune 500, the U.S. government and thousands of businesses all over the world. They offer free tech support on the items they sell and they sell too many to mention. They offer things we did not know where even available to the public; an example is the Axis IR Illuminator Infrared Illuminator or the LXE AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 Accessory. The other thing impressive is you do not have an RFID system in place they can sell a front door to back system from the readers to the Inventory software and the barcode verifiers. We recommend IT Planet for Security and Inventory tracking needs as they seem to be out in front and full service.

We started to think with the influx of Clinton people into the Obama administration is this going to be a return to those dark days. We are not talking about the Internet Boom, Rise of the Stock Market, or the balanced budget days. We are speaking of what some democrats still deny is the eye off the ball on terrorist acts against the United States. Under Clinton we were attacked at the World Trade Center in 92, the bombing of the US residence killing 200 in Saudi Arabia in 96, the African bombing of US embassy in 98, the attack on the USS Cole in 2000. All of these atrocities went without repercussions. This was a mistake on the Clinton administrations part as well as letting these group form camps in Afghanistan. We are trying to build up could of and should of, the point today we hope that there has been a lesson learned by these folks that you need to have due diligence and high quality foreign espionage to insure the safety of our people around the world and here at home. We have to think that as they watched George W. Bush not only win one election, but he was actually reelected because people felt safer with him in charge. If you are going to argue with us that the stand in Iraq has given us more enemies and a new approach is needed, we are just hoping that is not the one used in 92, 96, 98, and 2000.

The stories are popping up all over the Internet since the election of Barack Obama gun sales in stores have doubled and in some cases tripled. They are seeing weekend traffic that is more than normal weekly sales. These numbers are abnormal, as they did not see a spike in sales like this after 9/11, Katrina, or Y2K. The obvious push is because people feel with a liberal president and a democratic controlled congress not only might gun laws get stiffer but also changes on the Supreme Court could lean more left. The number so far the week from 11/3 to 11/9 there was 374,000 requests for background checks. This is close to double for the same period last year. The AR-15 rifle from the Virginia Arm Company has sold out. This is a civilian version of the military M-16 automatic weapon. These are also report this happened when Bill Clinton was elected although we could not find any sources to back that up. The other piece of the puzzle is there are clearly bigger issues president-elect Obama has to deal without of the gate. The understanding is that if he has trouble-getting things moving he may he could back door small legislation to have an accomplishment. This could be something like the renewal of the ban on the automatic weapons that had lapsed in 2004.

Promises rehab center is a world renowned treatment center. The work they do is most important in helping people of all walks of life get the help they need. One of the hardest diseases to rehabilitate from and getting the help of qualified professionals makes your chances stronger. The problem is alcohol is legal, as well it is more difficult to convince the alcoholic that they need. The alcoholic usually will only acknowledge the need for treatment after injuring another or damaging property while drinking. If the person is long-time alcoholic, detox is often needed prior to entering alcohol rehab because the shakes or delirium tremens may develop from alcohol withdrawal if alcohol use is stopped immediately without medical intervention. This is serious stuff and it should not be entered into lightly or half heartily when it is time to quit Promises can help as long as you are committing yourself to getting better. Promises treats all addiction to a variety of drugs and substances, including: Alcohol, Cocaine, Codeine, Heroin, Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Oxycodone, and many others.

There is nothing worse then being sneaky. This is why we were so against the Redwood City, California Company NebuAd Inc. If you remember we told about the technology they created for tracking website habits for ISP’s. They would track your traffic then they could target you for as around what you like to do. Turns when the people found out what was happening they are now suing. The suit is against both NebuAd and the six ISP that used the service. We also told you about the practice these ISP used to tell their customers they were using the service. The lawsuit is for $5 million in damages, with a request to make it a class action suit for all of the ISP customers that were tracked. The technology the suit claims is an invasion of privacy as all the information for a user was kept. We hate this, information sweeping idea as well as disguising it as a away to make the online experience better. The problem is all the information goes somewhere attached to your name and address. We are aware this information is available to the ISP it is part of the service but getting another company involved moves the information out into a place where it can never return.

President-elect Obama named a member of his new team, which is using most of the experienced personal from the Clinton administration for transition. The people will review budgets, personnel, and policy. All six people he named including two leaders all served under the Clinton administration. Members of the Treasury team are Josh Gotbaum, Michael Warren, and both extensive years of service in the Clinton regime. The Obama transition team for the State Department will be headed by lawyer Tom Donilon who was a former top State Department official. The Defense team is being led by John P. White, the former deputy defense secretary, and Michele Flournoy, who worked in the Pentagon during the Clinton years. This is a sign that Obama is on the right track we do not agree with the politics of these selections but we are happy he is surrounding himself with folk that have done the job before. The key is that these people were not top level positions in the Clinton administration but where number two’s and three’s, so it is there time to step up.

We thought we take a couple of graphs for the National Institute of Marriage. These troubled economic times can not only lead to problems with finance, they can begin to eat away at marriage. We were at party over the weekend and saw first hand a couple that was in the throws of martial problems over money problems.With the national divorce rate around 50%, there is no doubt that many marriages run into communication problems at some point. There is a communication epidemic. The National Institute of Marriage has created marriage counseling programs and resources utilizing a structure that is the most powerful format they have found for helping couples who feel stuck and hopeless.

NIM’s Intensive Marriage Counseling Programs are unique from weekly marriage counseling in three distinctive ways:

• Intensive Marriage Counseling Format: Committing to an extended amount of concentrated time like the 2 or 4 day Marriage Intensive allows people to get to the root of the problem and stick with it in order to work through it. If you’ve been in traditional marriage counseling before, you may have experienced how you spend the first half catching up from the week before, the second half getting into the real issues, and then the time is gone.

• Efficiency: One of the first steps in the process is an extensive assessment with some questionnaires. This allows the therapists to gather background information and can get an idea of the best strategy to proceed before you arrive for your session.

• Marriage Counselors: The counselors at the National Institute of Marriage are specialists in this area. One analogy we like to use is that of the Mayo Clinic: people go to their regular physician but may be sent to a specialist to work with specific areas.

If you are considering divorce, you must try the National Institute of Marriage before giving up. Regardless of the health of their marriage they have a service that can help couples improve their marital satisfaction. Visit their website at www.nationalmarriage.com. Read the incredible testimonies from the couples that saved their marriages by attending a Marriage Intensive at the National Institute of Marriage.

Well it turns out the President Elect ran around the country saying that the current administration was to closed lip on their agenda. When asked what his plan was he put up a 25 bullet points on his website. He would say when asked or in campaign rallies across the country go to my website to see my agenda. So less than six days after the landslide election have we learned anything? Today if you go the agenda on the new Obama site you will find there is no longer 25 points for an agenda to bring “hope” and “change” to the United States. There is just a vague paragraph about making things better. Couple of points to clear up the site is called change.gov which spring out being elected and has information on the transition of government. The information was posted and the taken down by who and why is still not clear. The older website still has the information, but in relation to this being his first available public information, this is does seem like a change in the advertised transparency.  We worry maybe some of this things have changed and maybe all those people that voted for him on one agenda are victims of bait and switch.

Valerie Jarrett the Iranian born Stanford graduate was on the Meet the Press with Tom Brokaw this morning. She is a single mother and the CEO of Habitat Company hailing from the Southside of Chicago. She worked for Mayor Richard Daley, as well as hiring Michelle Obama in 1991 who introduced her to Barack Obama. She is the co chair of the Barack Obama transition team if you missed this she was not giving any names for anything other than Chief of Staff, she dropped the nugget that Obama plans to put Republicans in the cabinet to keep every opinion in the fold. It has been widely suspected the Gates will stay on as Defense Secretary and she did not say yes or no but stayed in line with everything is a possibility as well as it has only been a few days. After about twelve minutes of her saying absolutely nothing claiming the new administration will be helpful from the ground up, throwing a jab at Republicans for growing government over the last eight years it was clear. There is nothing new this is the same old thing as the Who said years ago meet the new boss same as the old boss. We know this is only day five, but when you run saying you are the agent of change first up out of the gate looks like the same old thing to us.

Sometime you can become ashamed of what you hear and it can almost destroy your faith. The latest from the McCain camp over the last few days has been nothing but lame. They have been leaks all over the media basically blaming Sarah Palin for the loss. This is laughable as if you think she may have lost the republican the election that claim is valid. The truth is McCain was losing in the polls but anywhere from 12-15% before he picked her. When it was all said and done he lost by 7%. So the dirty truth is reports of serious doubts about her knowledge of civics and current events. She was unfamiliar with parts of NAFTA, and world geography. There have been claims about wardrobe costs of more than $200,000. These things have made us hang our head in shame with the McCain people. The reason the election was lost was because McCain refused to take the gloves off. To Monday morning quarterback that she cost the ticket the election is laughable. We will admit since McCain did not get any conservative democrat votes, middle of the road republicans, and independents, there is a good chance Palin did not help there. The McCain people can blame anyone from Bush, economy, bailout, or the war. The bottom line is with all this mounted up against them they only lost by less than eight million votes. The truth is the hill was to much to climb, Sarah Palin could not close it and we are not sure even Reagan could have made up the votes needed. The best thing to do is let it go, because it is over and John McCain’s time has passed and Palin is not going anywhere.

Well with all the love the country is feeling over the election is truly amazing. The good spirit and hope that is being shown is beyond a doubt uplifting. Nightly on the talkies we hear people going on about how great they feel about the election. The democrats are bounding over with glee as they have finally put forth a candidate that was a winner. The republicans are in full understanding of why they lost. The republicans know what is taking place and seem to be hopeful for a bright future. These things comes to mind when we hear John McCain, Mitt Romney, Sara Palin, Rush Limbaugh and other from the right speak over the last couple of days. The thing is there is no venom in what is being said. Why do we say this, if you can remember the last two elections in 2000 and 2004 after the democrats lost, they became so mean spirited. When George W. Bush was elected some on the left and in Hollywood went as far as saying he was not their President. This is the problem with a liberal media and Hollywood elite controlling the airways. We have to listen to them say Bush stole the election from Gore, Gore won the popular vote, Kerry was swift boated out of the election. It is amazing that when a democrat wins you do not hear such things from republicans it is just another thing that will get glossed over and forgotten.

Well it was nice to watch TV last night without any political ads. Never thought we would be so happy for plan old furniture stores and car spots. Something’s are not decided about election 2008. The two that jump out at us are Minnesota senator race where unbelievably Al Franken is within a 1000 votes of becoming a Senator. This is a huge leap considering there was a time in the campaign when only one person showed up to hear him speak. We will be watching, as an automatic recount has been scheduled and the lawyers are getting ready from both sides. The other is the issue in California although there is still only 99% of the vote counted. Barack Obama grabbed all 55 Electoral College votes with a 61%-37% win in the popular vote. Oddly enough with so many people voting democratic, the ban on gay marriage is ahead 52%-48% with about a 500.000 vote lead. If this total continues and ballot question passes this presents a bigger issue. For the last four and half months, there have been 16,000 gay marriages in California. Are these people no longer married? Do they have an option to fight in court? Will they be grandfathered in? Needless to say there are something’s that will keep this election on the front pages for days to come.
