This man is my president. I'm trying EXTREMELY hard not to rub it in people's faces, and trying even harder not to punch anyone who says this is now the downfall of the country. Check your facts just one more time for me. Do some ACTUAL research and then please, battle me. But I warn you, not much is going to sway me from my firm opinions and optimism about his upcoming presidency.This is a positive change, and in time, I'm sure all the doubters will see the benefits of him leading our country. Foreign relations will be strengthened. We will soon no longer be sinking our tax money into a pointless war. There will be tax breaks for the hardworking middle class. The environment will be on it's way to being saved. New research for freeing us of our dependency on oil will be started and encouraged. Health care will be receiving more help from the government. Where is the downside? Had McCain become president very few, if any, of those positive changes would be put into effect. Not only that, but he (and Satan aka Sarah Palin) would be TAKING AWAY MY FREEDOM to choose what I do with my own body. And I'll be dammed before I let any bald white guy, or retarded hockey mom, tell me what I can and cannot do with my uterus.
Some of you don't see it now, but give it time. Little by little this economy will recover, our foreign relations will strengthen, our national debt will start to heal, new jobs will be made, the environment will be saved, this country will become a much more positive and happy place. Whether you see it now or not, in time you will look back on your reaction and see how misinformed you were. Barack Obama is the change we need, and you WILL be pleasantly surprised.
"There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. .... As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too." - PRESIDENT elect Barack Obama
