Hail to the Chief

All I can say is...
Yikes!
I am so glad the process is over!
For the last two years we have been hearing how we need change.
Duh!
What frightens me is the fact that Obama seems to want to change America- not rectify the poor decisions our government has made. America has always prided itself on being a place where anyone can make it. America has always been a 'If you have the will there will be a way' kind of a place. Our founding fathers built this nation on the idea of getting away from big government.
I see Obama changing America. Will it still be the America we love?
America is two steps away from being a Socialist country. Now with Obama and the Democrats help...
Obama's talk of lowering taxes.
Of course that is NOT for those who have clocked in thousands of hours of school and work and have succeeded in building wealth through employment and investments. Those people WILL be taxed at a higher rate. Essentially they are paying for all those who put nothing into the pot yet always have their hand in it.
In this great Changed America who will want for the American dream of the past?
Will the American dream exist any longer?
Oh and- Thank Heaven- with Obama in office we will be blessed with great celebrities like Heidi Klum,Seal, fabulous Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen staying in America! Yeah hurray. Their threats to 'leave America' if McCain/Palin were in office were so nauseating!
G.W.Bush and the government (Blue and Red alike) made a huge mess. They burned bridges with many nations. This will take a lot of time to mend. I believe Obama will be a good representative for the rest of the world to see in office. The mending will be easier with Obama in office.
For all of us Americans though...was he the best of the two evils- Being "African American" and being able to be President of the United States is Amazing and historic but that alone doesnt constitute the best choice for the welfare of our country and people. Hopefully voters decided their vote not due to the 'color of skin but the content of character'
God Bless America!

Wow, way to nail my thoughts on the head. Great minds think alike-
Wish we could come and visit over Christmas...but not likely this year with our new carpet, my trip to china and new washer/dryer were low on funds! Maybe we can swing something in January with sky miles. My brother has a new baby boy in Del Rio I am dieing to see.
Thanks again for sharing your political views, they are right on...lets hope for the best (and not to high of taxes on those that work)
