Obama Won So Now What?
Barack Hussein Obama is now our next president of the united states and while I did not vote for him and I do not think he was the best choice. I truly hope that I and all of those other people that felt as I did are wrong and that he turns out to be one of the best presidents we have ever had in this country.
I also hope that he turns out to be a Bill Clinton and NOT a Jimmy Carter or worse incarnation of the Democratic party. I also hope Obama and his advisers have the intelligence and insight to not raise taxes until the economy is out of this recession.
A lot of people are freaking out right now, and are in dis-belief and thinking “how can people be so stupid and ignorant and do this to our country” I have talked with some and they are truly in fear. Why? Because they are old enough to know what true Socialism and Marxism are. They are people that have lived and seen a lot, not the inexperienced first time voters that gave Obama the turnout he needed to win.
I personally am setting aside all of my preconceived notions about Obama to see what he actually does and what kind of president he turns out to be.
I am really happy for all of the African-Americans and minorities that feel vindicated and I hope this motivates them not to lean on the Government, but to realize the real message here is that in America anything is possible and that the race or color card is no longer applicable and a valid excuse for your problems and lack of success in your life and now is the time to take responsibility for your problems and life and change them.
I also hope the Republican Party wakes up and realizes that as they are now the party is dead and that if they ever want to be in power again they will have to re-invent them self into a new Republican Party that is based on creating less government, lower taxes and giving people their personal freedoms such as the right to marry who you what to marry, the right of a woman to make the choice to have a baby or an abortion and that the decision should between her and God and not the government.
A party that will look to profit by helping people, and realize profit is not profit at all if it is at the expense of our people and our environment. That will NOT be controlled by Big Business but will create a business environment where all businesses can thrive big and small as long as they are providing real value and not causing harm to the people they are profiting from.
A party that will provide better health care, by allowing alternative medicine to exist rather than be stamped out by the FDA and big pharmaceutical companies.A party that wants a strong military to protect OUR country, but not to be the world police force and to follow the founding fathers desire for neutrality in other nations matters and that we must take care of our country first.
I am hoping for the best from both parties in the future and only time will tell if this was a great moment in history or a rash decision made by people and voting for someone just becuase of his color and out of desperation for change. Change is NOT always a good thing. George bush made a lot of changes.
PS: And for you guys that voted for him, no whining if your taxes go up and you paycheck shrinks becuase many analysts have already said he can’t do what he wants to do with out raising taxes on the middle class, or if we get into a war and he starts a draft (both men and women 18-40 like he said he would if there was one) or he makes some radical changes that you did not expect.
