So it has come to pass.  My new president will be Obama.  I have never been disrespectful to him, and I will never be.  The policies he’s articulated are socialist, and that’s a fact.  That’s not name-calling.  But you will never see the evil things that people have said about President Bush articulated here. 

Pres-elect Obama will be tested, and let’s hope America doesn’t suffer as badly during that test as it did during 9/11.  And, let’s hope a President Obama responds appropriately to that attack and not how all his new-found European “constituents” want him to. 

Obama will also be closely watched on his policies.  I hope the Conservatives that are left can regroup and stand up against him on his more liberal agenda.  We can’t have card check in this country.  We can’t have socialized medicine.  We have two years to fight this agenda, and hopefully, we can reclaim some power in Congress after they fail to fix the economy.

Anyway, here’s to President Obama and hoping that he’s not another Carter.
