Chuck Wolfe, president of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund
“President-elect Obama promises a diverse administration filled with talented individuals from all walks of life.” “This must include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans. Anything less is not fully inclusive, and that could be seen as an indication that our community is little more than an Atm for campaigns.”

Barack Obama, Time Magazine Person of the Year 2008.
He has come to dominate the public sphere so completely that it beggars belief to recall that half the people in America had never heard of him two years ago — that even his campaign manager, at the outset, wasn’t sure Obama had what it would take to win the election. He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking order. Understandably, you may be thinking Obama is on the cover for these big and flashy reasons: for ushering the country across a momentous symbolic line, for infusing our democracy with a new intensity of participation, for showing the world and ourselves that our most cherished myth — the one about boundless opportunity — has plenty of juice left in it.

President Karzai, The current Afghanistan President in response to a possible timeline for withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is in a cooperative arrangement with the United States and the rest of the international community. The decision in Afghanistan is to continue our cooperation with the international community until we have defeated terrorism and extremism and the threat that emanates from them to us, to our neighbors, and to the rest of the — rest of the world. And Afghanistan will not allow the international community leave it before we are fully on our feet, before we are strong enough to defend our country, before we are powerful enough to have a good economy, and before we have taken from President Bush and the next administration billions and billions of more dollars — (laughter) — no way that they can let you go.

After being attacked in Iraq, President Bush arrived in Afghanistan and was received with open arms. For example, Afghanistan President Mr. Karzai greeted President Bush with “most welcome” remarks.
President Bush jokingly told President Karzai that it was important for him to get back to Washington as soon as possible because his wife was expecting him back to celebrate a holiday reception. This was in reference to the Hanukkah celebration, which was held on Monday at the White House.
President Bush and President Karzai took questions from reporters. President Bush stated the following in regard to Obama’s policy toward Afghanistan:
“First, I am of a different political party than President-elect Obama. But I want him to succeed. I want him to do well. And to this end we have worked hard to help — to help the transition.
Secondly, I think it is interesting that he has picked Secretary Gates, Secretary of Defense the last couple of years under my administration; he will be the Secretary of Defense under his administration. I think that should send a clear signal to the people of Afghanistan that the transition will be a smooth transition.
I expect you’ll see more U.S. troops here as quickly as possible in parts of the country that are being challenged by the Taliban. I remember when President Karzai and President Musharraf and I had the famous dinner at the White House. You know, the discussions really are the same today as they were then — and that is that extremists and terrorists and people who use car bombs and suicide bombers to achieve political objectives are a threat to all of us.”
Earlier in the morning, President Bush visited the troops in Afghanistan and was also greeted with respect and applause.
