Bush\u2019s early-bird routine. Aides expect the workload to be so intense, at least for the early months, that they\u2019re trying to formalize ways to help staffers stay in touch with spouses and kids \u2013 with ideas under consideration that include inviting family members into the White House for casual after-hours meals.<br><br>Another possibility: urging aides to go home for dinner, as long as they come back to finish the night.<br><br><u>Obama aides say there are no specifics so far, but hinted that staffers' children may be seeing the inside of the White House like never before \u2013 as way to stay in touch with Mom or Dad.</u><br><br><b>\u201cFamily is very important to the Obamas and while the challenges ahead will require long hours, hard work and sacrifice for everyone in the incoming administration they hope to make the White House a place that is open and welcoming to the families of White House employees,\u201d said Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman.</b><br><br><u>Bush famously arrives at the Oval Office by dawn, leaves by 6 p.m. and goes to bed by 10 p.m. Dinners out are as rare as a lunar eclipse.</u>     <b>[***shakin' my head***]</b><br><br>Obama, by contrast, stays up late. He holds conference calls with senior staff as late as 11 p.m., and often reads and writes past midnight. Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, he spent consecutive nights holed up in a Chicago hotel room, working on his speech until 2 a.m. <br><br>And in the 10 days alone, Obama stopped by a Senate cocktail party, dined out with foreign policy types, and made a visit Saturday to Ben\u2019s Chili Bowl, a Washington institution and pillar in the African-American community. He stayed out until 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at a dinner with conservative columnists.<br><br>\u201cThe expectation is that it will be a lot of hours, and hours we were used to working before the transition,\u201d one Obama aide said. \u201cEverybody is comfortable with that. There is an expectation that the first few months will set the tone.\u201d<br><br>Michelle Obama often speaks of using her new role as First Lady to highlight the struggles of balancing work and family. But she need look no further than her husband\u2019s White House, where not just the incoming president \u2013 a father of two daughters \u2013 will feel torn.<br><br>The senior ranks include several parents of young children, including incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, press secretary Robert Gibbs, and Jackie Norris, chief of staff to the First Lady.<br><br>In his attempt to maintain balance, Obama would routinely divert his lumbering campaign apparatus back to Chicago simply to be present for important events: picking out a Christmas tree, taking the girls to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, attending a dance recital. His staff would take their own timeouts, too. Gibbs flew home less than five days before the election so he could spend Halloween with his son.<br><br><b>\u201cThere is a great deal of respect and importance for being there for your children,\u201d the aide said.</b><br><br>Still, the White House will no doubt foster an unforgiving pace, particularly now that late nights may be more normal than they were under Bush. Emanuel, for example, doesn\u2019t think twice about dialing up his staff as early as 6 a.m. He schmoozes after work at Washington hot spots, and emails late into the night.</i><br><br>THERE IS MORE.<br><br>He STILL leaves room for <b>FAMILY TIME</b>  for him annnnnnd, his STAFF!<br><br><b>LEADERSHIP!!</b>      :&gt;)       :&gt;)", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-14_20:45:09", "killed": false, "user_key": "GreenLadyHere", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5140259": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": true, "message": "Pass the brain bleach, please.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-15_11:35:06", "killed": false, "user_key": "MsKitty", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 1, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 5133057, "depth": 1, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5133608": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Some blacks choose inauguration over work<br>Coming a day after Martin Luther King holiday, many will extend the break <br>AP-updated 5:24 p.m. CT, Wed., Jan. 14, 2009<br><br>ATLANTA - Asante Bradford gave his bosses nearly three months notice that he would not be at his desk on Jan. 20.<br><br>A day after Barack Obama's historic presidential win, Bradford knew he wanted to be able to whoop it up when Obama was sworn in as the nation's first black chief executive \u2014 and that he couldn't do that at work.<br><br>\"I decided if I couldn't be (in Washington D.C.), I'm just going to take the day off, just so I can scream and holler,\" said Bradford, 40, who works for the state of Georgia as a liaison to the entertainment industry.

Bush’s early-bird routine. Aides expect the workload to be so intense, at least for the early months, that they’re trying to formalize ways to help staffers stay in touch with spouses and kids – with ideas under consideration that include inviting family members into the White House for casual after-hours meals.<br><br>Another possibility: urging aides to go home for dinner, as long as they come back to finish the night.<br><br><u>Obama aides say there are no specifics so far, but hinted that staffers\' children may be seeing the inside of the White House like never before – as way to stay in touch with Mom or Dad.</u><br><br><b>“Family is very important to the Obamas and while the challenges ahead will require long hours, hard work and sacrifice for everyone in the incoming administration they hope to make the White House a place that is open and welcoming to the families of White House employees,” said Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman.</b><br><br><u>Bush famously arrives at the Oval Office by dawn, leaves by 6 p.m. and goes to bed by 10 p.m. Dinners out are as rare as a lunar eclipse.</u>     <b>[***shakin\' my head***]</b><br><br>Obama, by contrast, stays up late. He holds conference calls with senior staff as late as 11 p.m., and often reads and writes past midnight. Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, he spent consecutive nights holed up in a Chicago hotel room, working on his speech until 2 a.m. <br><br>And in the 10 days alone, Obama stopped by a Senate cocktail party, dined out with foreign policy types, and made a visit Saturday to Ben’s Chili Bowl, a Washington institution and pillar in the African-American community. He stayed out until 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at a dinner with conservative columnists.<br><br>“The expectation is that it will be a lot of hours, and hours we were used to working before the transition,” one Obama aide said. “Everybody is comfortable with that. There is an expectation that the first few months will set the tone.”<br><br>Michelle Obama often speaks of using her new role as First Lady to highlight the struggles of balancing work and family. But she need look no further than her husband’s White House, where not just the incoming president – a father of two daughters – will feel torn.<br><br>The senior ranks include several parents of young children, including incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, press secretary Robert Gibbs, and Jackie Norris, chief of staff to the First Lady.<br><br>In his attempt to maintain balance, Obama would routinely divert his lumbering campaign apparatus back to Chicago simply to be present for important events: picking out a Christmas tree, taking the girls to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, attending a dance recital. His staff would take their own timeouts, too. Gibbs flew home less than five days before the election so he could spend Halloween with his son.<br><br><b>“There is a great deal of respect and importance for being there for your children,” the aide said.</b><br><br>Still, the White House will no doubt foster an unforgiving pace, particularly now that late nights may be more normal than they were under Bush. Emanuel, for example, doesn’t think twice about dialing up his staff as early as 6 a.m. He schmoozes after work at Washington hot spots, and emails late into the night.</i><br><br>THERE IS MORE.<br><br>He STILL leaves room for <b>FAMILY TIME</b>  for him annnnnnd, his STAFF!<br><br><b>LEADERSHIP!!</b>      :&gt;)       :&gt;)</div>\

Bush\'s inaugurations.<br><br>Roberts\' attorney Jeffrey P. Minear filed a document in Newdow\'s lawsuit saying that Obama wants the words "so help me God" included in his oath of office.<br><br>The Justice Department and attorneys general from all 50 states have filed motions at the federal court asking for the lawsuit to be thrown out.<br><br>The oath dictated by the Constitution is 35 words long and reads: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."<br><br>The National Archives says that George Washington added the words "so help me God" when he took the oath at his 1789 inaugural, and most presidents have used it since. However, some have argued that the first eyewitness account of a president using those words came at President Chester Arthur\'s inauguration in 1881.<br><br>Named in Newdow\'s lawsuit are Roberts; Sen.

He was born October 30, 1986 in Houston, TX to Beverly and Whitney Rolle of the Bahamas.[11] His family members, including parents and brothers, hail from Nassau. He is very proud of his Bahamian heritage and he routinely references the Bahamas as \'home.\' After a career as a neurosurgeon in the United States, Rolle plans to open a free health services clinic in Rolletown, a small section of Exuma Island. Rolle tries to pattern himself after former Minnesota Vikings running back Robert Smith, making decisions that set him up as a well-rounded individual who isn\'t tied only to sports. (While attending Ohio State, Smith had told his coach he would quit football unless he could take a science lab course that conflicted with practice.[12]) Myron is the cousin of Samari Rolle, who plays for the Baltimore Ravens.[13]<br><br>THIS GUY IS A TRUE ROLE MODEL!</div>\

Sorry if this is way late news.  I don\'t know... I have never been in this position but in the article (last paragraph) it said:<br><br>"Grant\'s family has filed a $25 million legal claim against BART, signaling an intention to sue for damages. The family\'s attorney, John Burris, said late Tuesday that he was pleased to hear of Mehserle\'s arrest."<br><br>This is sitting funny with me. Does this paperwork HAVE to be filed OUTRIGHT like that? I mean doesn\'t the idea of damages come after conviction? I know that pig is guilty... not the question for me. Why are they talking MONEY at all now? This makes me VERY uncomfortable. Their son is dead only two weeks...</div>\

Those guys won most of their wrongful death, malpractice, negligence cases, and the Oakland Police should know John Burris better than most lawyers, because the most cases he\'s won were against Oakland Po-Po for everything from officers beating one of their own to Mark Fuhrman-type shyt you didn\'t see on your televisions outside of the Bay Area.  John Burris is the Bay Area\'s "Johnnie Cochran".<br><br>This brotha DOES NOT PLAY.  Any of you in the Bay Area; I\'m sure y\'all know about how he took Highland Hospital to court for racial harassment of his wife, who was a staff doctor Highland tried to fire for alleged incompetence, even though her performance evals consistently ranked her as "excellent".<br><br>Burris took the Hospital to court and got a seven-figure settlement for the woman he later made MRS. BURRIS.<br><br>As for the BART "Mark Fuhrman" - he is just like the real one; THEY BOTH GOT CAUGHT.  That white guy thought quitting his job would get him out of this jam; it only stirred shyt up and if Alameda County had cooled their heels, Oakland would have blown up like Watts did during the riots in the 60s.</div>\

It took years and years for Watts to recover from the 1965 riots.  It\'s going to take a few years for small business storefronts in the riot area to recover.  I will say this, Oakland seems to  pay more attention to them than they do the black and Latino youth of the area.<br><br>It\'s not reeking of opportunism to file a civil suit.  There is nothing like a high profile civil case to put pressure on city, county or state officials.  In civil cases, there aren\'t any holds barred on evidence.  If the Oscar Grant civil case is covered just as the criminal case will be, BART, Alameda County and other city fathers are going to look bad.  That boomerangs on people wanting to keep their elective jobs.<br><br>Understand too that it takes a while for any settlement to be released.  Oscar\'s daughter, at any rate, should have the bulk of that money.  Justice has a price.<br><br>The police have no business killing individuals who have yet to be proved to have done anything wrong.  With them, it always seems to be shoot to kill.  <br><br>No shootings or tazing , no civil cases to redress.  <br><br>It\'s just THAT simple.</div>\

Oscar Grant was MURDERED in COLD BLOOD by a member of LAW ENFORCEMENT to protect and to serve the public.  Last time I recall, Black People are just as much of the PUBLIC as anyone else.<br><br>I\'m tired of being told how to respond to injustices like this - the only response is a HUMAN one, and in this case, it is RIGHTEOUS ANGER.  Oscar wasn\'t doing anything that warranted him catching a bullet in the back - that police officer was trigger-happy because they are taught in the police academy how to subdue someone without resorting to shooting them.<br><br>Opportunism, my ass - the only way policies get changed, and human lives of Black People valued, is to HIT IN THE CHECKBOOK, because that is the only language BART officials, elected officials and any other officials UNDERSTAND,  and I\'m tired of being admonished to respond in a way that I\'m not feeling.</div>\

And NO to me, two wrongs don\'t make a right. <br><br>Like the assholes who were rioting in the street, are as criminal as anyone else breaking the law and vandalizing other people\'s property ... they are opportunists too ... and dumb at that ... they\'re fucking up their own neighborhoods and if anyone thinks the cops, the government or white folks give a shit about that ... well the jokes on them.<br><br>Sure fuck up your own shit and incidents like Oscar Grant\'s unfortunate demise, still persists because tearing down your neighborhood ain\'t gonna do nothing to change these tragedies - proven fact. It\'s all dumb to me.<br><br>On a related Note, while I\'m all fired up ... There\'s one more thing I\'d like to add ...<br><br>And where is all this outrage when criminal thugs like the one that shot my friend in the head over a stupid argument, commit crimes and kill their own people?<br><br>That HUGE elephant in the room called black on black crime - that is more than likely to effect you and I, than getting shot in the back by a cop.<br><br>Yeah I\'d hate to be the bearer of bad news THAT we all damn well know is true, but we got a war going on in the streets of many major cities all across America and most of the faces that are committing the murdering of US ...  AIN\'T white.<br><br>I am not delusional, I know the system is rigged, but look at Micheal down in Jena ... all that hoopla and the ignoramus goes and steals some shit in LA and then plays the cop out role by shooting himself in the chest for sympathy - due to his juvenile delinquency and we stay silent ... OR blame it on WHITE folks yet again.<br><br>And I actually felt sorry for him ... until I found out he actually did STEAL what they accused him of stealing. I couldn\'t fucken believe it.<br><br>But what about all the people that marched protested and blogged about his plight and those of his friends? How many people raised funds and took time out of their lives to support them?<br><br>I\'m not saying those young men need to be angels above reproach but BLATANTLY breaking the law AGAIN?! - And then blaming it on THE MEDIA?!!!  Get the F outta here!<br><br>All I\'m saying is that how are we gonna clean up these criminal police, when we can\'t even clean up the fuck ups that  are preying on our people every five minutes or the get rich peddlers using every terrible tragedy to line their own pockets and I don\'t care if it\'s Oscar Grants family, Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, people need to be called out if things don\'t pass the sniff test. Count the police brutality cases and then count how many black thugs murder children, teens, women and men every day?<br><br>But I dunno, maybe I\'m wrong, maybe I see things in the wrong light, all I know is that there\'s a lot of outrage, but things stay the same and lawsuit, protest or riot ... it\'s all been done before to ZERO results, cause we keep getting more Oscar Grants and we for damn sure still have an astronomical rate of Gang violence in our city streets.</div>\
