Election Reflection

I will go on record saying that I am disappointed with the results of the election. I voted for McCain and was hoping for a McCain victory. Oh well.

Barack Obama's election as president is a historic event. It is a huge step forward for America to have elected a person of color to the White House. It is exciting! What is not exciting, however, are his promises and platform.

While I respect Obama as a person, I think he is completely backwards politically. I think he has made promises he will soon discover that he cannot deliver. I think his liberal thoughts will creep up and really surprise people...although, I wouldn't necessarily consider him socialist. But he has said some things that come close. He's going to change the world? Umm...OK. But, he may have the ability to cause a lit of change with Democratic majorities...scary.

Some say we were able to survive eight years of Clinton. Others say we were able to (soon) survive eight years of Bush. I say we can survive four years of Obama. Only time will tell what he will be able to accomplish, good or bad.
