Yes We Can

Yes, Barack Obama is now the President elect... FREAK OUT.

People need to calm down and take a deep breath.  Maybe attend a yoga session, get a drink or something.  Obama is not a socialist, he is not the Messiah, nor the antiChrist. duh.  Paulin is far from the oval office and this makes my heart smile. Obama will not be deciding if abortion is legal or not, so if that is your only concern... I guess this is as far as you have to read.  Lastly, he will be your President of the United States in 2009, so get over it before then, he deserves your respect.  

Don't MOVE!  However, if you do decide to move, I wouldn't pick China... communist country?? Yes.  If you are trying to escape the "socialism" that is about to swallow our country whole, don't move to a socialist country.  Furthermore, if you feel the need to move because you don't appreciate the country you live in, please do.  If you can't appreciate the amazing country that has come so far, maybe you should move.  If you're not thankful for the lives that are given for your freedom everyday, move.  If you can't give a moment of your mindless thoughts to those who die for people they have never met, please move.  

No, Obama is not the Messiah, but that doesn't mean he is the antiChrist either.  Who's place is it to designate the antiChrist? Not mine, not yours.  Lets leave this up to God.  I wouldn't want to be responsible to appointing the WRONG antiChrist... that would be all bad.

If you can't rejoice in the fact that Obama is now the President elect, just be happy that Palin is far far away from the oval office.  Every time this thought shoots to my head my heart warms.  It terrified me to think that we had come this close to seeing Pallin in the White House.  If (and lets admit it... the dude is old) McCain were to die in office, it would be President Pallin, and that is a scary thought.  Someone who thinks she has experience with foreign affairs because she lives close to Russia?? REALLY?!?!  Lets just rejoice in the fact that, Pallin is back home in Alaska and far from D.C. 

For those who voted McCain simply because Obama is "pro-abortion," you are an idiot.  He is not pro-abortion, he is pro-choice.  And no, he is not pro-choice because he believes that abortion is right or the best way to do things.  He is pro-choice because he believes that he cannot press his beliefs on other people.  And while I feel very strongly against abortion, I'm not sure it is the most important topic to take into consideration concerning the election.  Seeing as, abortion and gay marriage are currently regulated by the states, not federal government.  So it isn't even within Obama's jurisdiction to legalize abortion and gay marriage.  Maybe focus on something that the President elect will actually be working hands on with, the war and the economy.  That is what is really important right now and that is what we need to be concerned about.

Lastly, Obama may not be the best President in history, but how are we to know.  He will be our President of the United States in January and needs to be respected regardless. 

If you still have hard feelings about outcome of the election, at least consider this.  On November 4, 2008, the first black man ever to be elected President of the United States, stood in front of the American people and accepted his position as Commander and Chief.  This is huge!  Take joy in the fact that we no longer live in a divided country.  That we may have different ideas and opinions but we have overcome the racial barrier that has divided our country for so long.  This is a changing moment in history and you were here.  Be thankful that you were able to witness this moment.  This moment will be in the minds and hearts of Americans forever.
