Thoughts on Obama

Well it's official. Obama will be our President. The votes are in and this is who America has chosen. For matters of understanding, please know that I am a registered republican. Use that to help you form a better opinion of where I'm coming from.

I did not vote for Obama, however, here are a few things to keep in check:

Obama is now our President. Sit tight, we are not going to explode.

Don't bash the man, he deserves our respect.

Don't say things like "now we have a president from the middle east," or "well, here comes socialism." Just because your candidate didn't win doesn't mean the nation is going to crap for brains. Yes, there are going to be changes. KEEP IN MIND: America is all about change. If a nation, a superpower like ourselves, didn't change every so often, we WOULD explode. Ancient Rome didn't change much, and guess what...they collapsed. Ancient Egypt, Myceanea, Minoa, Greece, ect were all the same way as well. I applaud America for changing so often and being able to go different directions very fast-like. It shows that, as a nation, we are strong, and will endure.

Probably the worst thing to say in accordance to Obama would be "McCain would have done it different/better." HOW DO YOU KNOW??? McCain isn't going to be president for the next four years, so get that in your brains right now. We don't know what McCain WOULD HAVE done because he WASN'T elected.

And finally, if you didn't vote, please don't argue, because you obviously didn't want to voice your opinion in the first place. If you didn't vote in this election, YOU GET TO SAY NOTHING for the next four years about Obama. Those who were decisive enough to get up for ten minutes, go to the polls and vote are the only ones who get to say anything. Excersising your right to vote is also excersising your right to have an opinion. If you didn't vote, you obviously didn't have an opinion.

I'm personally going to pray for Obama, just because he is now going to be our president. He doesn't need a bunch of whiners to deal with, and I will most certainly (try) NOT be among those who are. It's called respecting authority. You always didn't agree with your parents, but you still respected them. I'm not saying Obama is your Daddy, don't take that out of context. I'm just saying give the man in charge the respect that he deserves, and especially the prayers that he will need.

Maby people don't realize how much pressure the President is every single day. You cannot claim to know this unless you are one of four people: Jimmy Carter, George Bush, William Clinton, and George W. Bush. If you are not those people, you do NOT know what it's like to be president, thank you very much, so don't claim that you would be able to do better.

People of the United States of America: I decree you to support our next President. Those of you who did not get their choice, remember this: you didn't always get a cookie when you were younger, but you still had enough respect for your parents to not tell them how lousy of a person they were. Give the same respect to our leader. It was a hard road to get where Obama is now, and now that he has won, let's give him what he strived for: the utmost respect of the nation he will serve.

That's all, I'm done
