President Obama

Wednesday, November 5, 2008


So congratulations to President-Elect Obama. But, did anyone else notice how he is already trying to weasel out of responsibilty for actually changing things. First he said that change had arrived in America. I guess that's true, we elected the first black president, but he's almost as white as McCain, so that's not real change. I want to see real change, just like he has been promising for two years. But he went on to say that it might take a long time, it might even take more than one term (he's already campaigning for 2012). But, Mr. Obama, you have no excuses for not getting things done, your party dominates both houses of Congress. So, get things done.

On a side note, does anyone else think that it is sad that the two candidates for President were McCain and Obama; how disappointing. Are there no better people out there that want to be President of the United States? Hopefully in 2012 we will have a better candidate to run against Obama.
***I was told that this post makes me sound pissed about the Presidential election. I am not pissed at all. I truly hope that Obama can make the country a better place. Much like I thought with McCain, I don't think Obama will be a great President, but I hope that I am wrong. Just don't turn us into a socialist country (I have seen first hand what socialist medicine looks like) and don't give me excuses, you have a strong majority in Congress, get things done. Good luck. I would have totally redone the post, but I don't know if all of the comments would make sense, so I left it.

The problem is, good people don't want to be in corrupt political positions. Thats why we don't have good candidates. Sucks huh!!

Obama said what people wanted to hear so he could get into office. He will now try and implement all the socialist policies that he attempted to get passed while he was a senator (just go look at his voting record). He was very smooth and evasive during the months leading up to the election. So much so, that people really believed that he would bring about change, and that all the country's woes truly are the fault of republicans. What the ignorant masses fail to recognize, is that we have had a democrat controlled house and senate for the past few years. It's not the fault of republicans, as he made people believe. Oh, and spot on for how sad that those were our two best options.

I love your blog, Spencer. You always have good topics to comment on. Obama got Colin Powell's endorsement which sold me on him. I truly hope Powell will decide to run in 2012, but I think he's too morally straight and honest to do it. He really should have been the first black president. I also wonder how much love Kanye West will feel from Obama.

Umm....I have to TOTALLY agree with you! I was not a big fan of either candidate and would hope there are a few better men out there to run our country. Anyway loved the comments.
