President Elect Obama

by Susan

Congratulations to President Elect Obama and his family on winning the Presidential Election Tuesday.  I'm so glad the election is over!   It was the longest, most grueling campaign in our history and I listened to way too much of it.   I wanted to be informed but I think I went overboard reading, watching and listening and became somewhat obsessed with politics.

Obama said one thing in his acceptance speech that I thought was very unifying.  He said he knew he didn't have everyone's support but he would be their president too.   I'm hoping he will be an excellent president for all of us.    I think it will be a long, long time before we see much progress with our economy or any of the other issues.   I also think we will continue to hear politics on the media for quite a time and I'm tired of it.  However, I will be looking forward to hearing some other world and U.S. news.  

If your candidate won, I know you're very happy.  If your candidate lost, maybe you will give our new president a chance to win your support.   Opening up our hearts and minds to change can be a big risk and cause us anxiety, but it can also be rewarding if the change goes in a good direction for all of us.

    Hi there!!!
    Obama wasn't my candidate but that is not he is not getting my support, it is because he just want to impose and control people. Worse times are coming up and believe me, I wish the best but I don't think his ideas make sense. For example, he wants to raise oil taxes!!! what do you think that is going to do? raise gasoline prices!! he wants to raise taxes on people who make over 150,000 dollars so he can put that money welfare!! where at least 50% of the people who have welfare take advantage of this blessing for people who really need it. Less jobs, send checks to people (other's people's money) He wants to have a handicap America, when everything is given to you, you don't appreciate it. And environmental issues? don't even get me started, it is obvious that science wasn't his forte. Thank you to all of you who helped to make America even more handicapped that already is.

    I hope that aaaat least he does what he promised about giving all of us Po folks a stimulus package. I sure can use some money so I hope at income tax time he will tell the government to give out lots of checks to us. Smile. I also want to see what he is going to do about the immigration situation?? I wish him luck. He has got his hands full.. As always I invite you and your readers to stop by http://dogcents.blogspot.com and help me to Save the Dogs and with your help I hope to reach my goal in the next four months.
