Change is Coming

As I'm sure you all know, here's our new President.
I'll admit it. I didn't vote for him. I don't agree with everything for which he stands. But regardless of how the election turned out, I have to have take confidence that there were lots (and lots) of good people with high moral standards who voted FOR him. I don't think he would have won otherwise.

I believe we have a good country. I believe the majority of our country (and I pray our country's leaders) have righteous intentions to make our world a better place, even if they don't agree completely with my political and social views.



So congrats, Sen. Obama. Use your power wisely. Make our country a better place to live.

Thank goodness I am not the only one who voted for McCain. I have been stunned by how many of my friends have told me today they voted for Obama--citing his optimism and charm but not a thing about their taxes, abortion rights, or national security.

But what can we do now but be supportive and pray for him! I don't want to be one of those people who was obnoxiously anti-bush for the past 8 years, but did nothing to better the nation themselves.

Well said Jacqui!

Agreed. I'm glad that the nation is happy to have "broken through racial boundaries"... but I'm worried. I don't agree with Obama's politics. I think he could do an incredible amount of damage to our country in a very, very short time (look at just this past year in Bush's term...) But thank you for being so positive, here's to hoping for the best.
