The Obama family went to work at a food bank on the day before Thanksgiving, to exemplify the meaning of the holiday, especially when so many people are struggling.

5. "You can call me Barack"

No, sir, I can't, Mr President. I can't possibly be on a first-name basis
with my President. To you, I'm Ron. To me, you're Mr President. Call me
old-fashioned if you must. Your predecessor, on the other hand: :shrug:

7. Jumpy? So am I !!

Folks, I must confess that I am getting a bit scared. President Elect Obama is becoming too accessible and it scares me.

If I was in charge of the Secret Service I would say, enough!

It is time for Mr Obama to realize he will soon be the President of the USA. He is not nor will he be the local parson or your favorite uncle. His behavior, while well intentioned, is not very safe or practical considering the hazards that exist everywhere.

Let's all tell him to keep a low profile as it is in our best interests for him to do so, NOW.

8. Agreed, unfortunately

His personal safety is paramount. Part of the job description.

But that is not good enough for me.

It's time for the Secret Service to pt a stop to this nonsense.
