This is my first post. I'll be talking about all kinds of things but I'll be following Barack Obama's presidency closely. I feel a certain trepidation that he's just been elected. Call it intuition.
I consider myself an informed voter. I look at the candidates, weigh their stance on the issues, their resume, their politics, their character, and the substance of their actions. I voted for John McCain.
That said, I'm not surprised Obama won the election but I'm disappointed and concerned. Considering that the vast majority of the media outlets served as Obama campaign outlets both in print and broadcast, they constantly pounded away at the easily persuaded masses. It was obvious that McCain was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Obama was elected as a change agent. What Americans fail to realize is that what they think of as "the change that's needed" is not the change Obama has in mind. I'm concerned that with the shift in power to the left, the United States will be tested like never before from both internal and external forces.
What we have is an Obama with a Democratic legislative branch in support, with his pen in hand will be virtually free to pass whatever legislation they see fit. I predict bigger government, higher taxes, economic turmoil, homeland security risks, and a social agenda that will further erode traditional family values.
I think he's wrong for this country. If anyone thinks we're better off with Barack Obama as president I think they're delusional. He's not my President until such time as he proves me wrong.
Till next time.
