new president.

I am already getting tired of people complaining about Obama being the president and how the world needs to end because of it and how this is not going to get any better. Whining will not change what has been done. I feel like shouting GET OVER IT.

I voted McCain. Couldn't understand what was so "evil" about him being "the lesser of the two evils." Personally, I liked him. Didn't research him all the time but listened to some forums, read some information on him. I wish he would've won. But I kind of expected his chances to be slim due to:

-he is a republican; the current president is a republican and is not well liked by America and the fear of the last eight years repeating in the next four was probably a big factor
-his VP choice. Sure, she seemed like a nice lady. But honestly, her resume was short and hardly even serving her term as governor, plus being mayor of your city doesn't exactly equal up to VP status
-again, the VP choice...his age, her lack of experience made voters weary

Obama speaks very eloquently. It is pretty much obvious that his speeches provided a sense of hope to people (I mean he did get elected and all). His whole campaign was based on one word: change. And people are craving that right now. Things aren't going smoothly these days and people are desperate for a way out.

I was reading an article this morning and it will be interesting to see what promises will be fulfilled. Obama has a tough load to carry out.

We need to quit complaining. What's done is done. Instead of whining, why don't we start praying? When Obama is sworn in, he already has trouble waiting for him. The US is not in pretty shape right now and can you imagine all of the things he's got to take over? It's not going to be easy and probably won't be pretty and I'm sure he can use our prayers. Let's hope that we're all wrong. That he DOES do a good job. In fact, a great one. That he goes down in history as one of the most influential presidents. That he provides change. He provides relief. Even if we're different political parties we need to rally behind him because in the end you have two choices. Either support/pray for him or stand against him and complain. He's going to be with us for the next four years at the minimum. Let's do what we can to make this situation better.
