But, having said that, I would remind you that it is the maniacal left and their allies and sycophants in the MSM that have conspired to diminish the current President in the eyes of our nation as well as by fearmongering about both the economy and foreign policy for the last 8 years. For that entire time we have heard such things as “He’s not my President”, “Bush lied, people died!”, “Chimpy BusHitlerBurton”, allegations of intentionally ignoring the effects of Katrina-a responsibility more appropriately laid at the feet of the Mayor of New Orleans and the former Governor of Lousiana, and whisper campaigns of fascist intent and how “Boooooosh is intellectually incurious”.

Had it not been for the MSM running interference for him, Obama may not have won. Indeed, the media would have had a field day had:
1)McCain sat in a white supremicist’s church for 20 years, and called the same person his mentor and spiritual advisor.
2) Had McCain had a political ally that was an unrepentant abortion clinic bomber who had escaped prosecution on a technicality.
3) Had McCain been nearly as secretive about his past as Obama has been.
4) Had McCain reneged on his promise to accept public financing for his campaign and effectively bought the election

Again while I accept and congratulate Obama on his victory, and wish him well, I am already tired of the hypocritical calls for conciliation and moderation by the same hyper-partisan zealots who have spent the better part of 8 years tearing down Bush and America, indeed rooting for our defeat and humiliation at the hands of our enemies, merely as a function of their will to power. You can be sure that this will not be the predominant posture of the folks on the right; we will be more of a loyal opposition than the Democrats and the left ever were…

Best Wishes

This post seems to me like typical kiss-ass commentary from someone addicted to the Obama kool-aid. There are still so many questions about our new president-elect that haven’t been properly answered and his stand on abortion is NOT moral. And will you still sing your pretty tune when you start paying MORE taxes?

Yes, he’s my president now so I’m stuck. I honestly wish him well, hope he grows in the office and rises appropriately to the challenges. I will give him the respect due his office, unlike so many who would not grant Bush the same courtesy in the previous elections. Nor will I or others of like mind cause riots, throw tantrums or threaten to leave the country…

Rather, I will continue to pray for our country and will include Obama and his advisers in those prayers, just as I have with Bush & co. I sincerely and DEEPLY hope Obama proves me and others like me wrong who are still suspicious of him and his intentions.

Oh, and Ruidosoman? Why would you deny civil rights to your fellow citizens? Do you feel that is moral? Denying our gay and lesbian fellow citizens the right to marry sets a dangerous precedent. Spew enough hatred, and maybe somebody will try to tell you who you can and can’t marry. How would you like that?

I use to think Colin Powell would make a good president…then he became turn coat; and not for the reasons he stated…apparently Mr. Powell is moral according to your morality scale as well? McCain was the best candidate when George W. Bush ran the first time…How McCain got pushed to the side I will never understand, and McCain was the best candidate during this election as well.

We’re in for some really hard times. I hope Obama does not continue messing up our military and our health care insurance systems the way the Clintons did…oh…Obama was a much better candidate than Hilary…but he does not have what it takes to run this country. I hope he proves me wrong, but I doubt that he will.
