BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Republican Party Barack Obama...President

Yes, I am also glad for his victory, He also my vote!

If McCain had ran as McCain, the one who delivered the speech last night, he could have won.

But I am satisfied that America made the best choice it could.

Not satisfied.

Not satisfied and deeply, deeply saddened for my country and the impending ruin that will result under a socialist leadership.

Check out Rachel Lucas' Blog , it will lift your spirits.

I'm heartsick over this. I listened and studied so much about both candidates for months. It wasn't enough to cast a vote and talk about it. Next election, I'm CAMPAIGNING and getting really involved. That's a promise.

Pray and pray some more, and do all that I can to do my part as a voting American.

The road ahead is a tough one. But, the majority of America has spoken, they wanted change. Regardless of who you voted for, there must be unity. Because, only with unity, and opened minds and hearts can we tackle what is ahead.

Barack Obama won, but the work continues. And as he so eloquently said, we have to do it together.

I'm sorry, Ruthe. If you wish to buy into the rhetoric, that's your call. But I'm not a supporter of the socialist movement. Therefore, unless Obama moves his views to a more democratic stance supportive of the republic in which we stand, I cannot support him.

Again, I may be surprised and Obama may alter his socialist course; but I doubt it.

Lets everyone not forget, the President IS important, but he is not the only arm of our government.

We still have the congress, house of representatives, and judicial system as well.

If in the next 2 years things seem to be really sucking eggs, then we can vote out 1/2 of congress and replace them.

That is the whole point of our checks and balances system.

Amen, Michelle.

YEAH Chelle, by the way I voted for you sorry Vance. I guess this is probably why I am so surprised by the negative attitudes about Obama being President. He doesn't get to just change every thing he wants , it has alot to do with the congress, house of representatives and the judicial system. We should pay as much attention to who are in those offices as well as the president, it all works together. I think we also need to start taking some responsibility for our own actions, often times people start yelling about things and it ends up they put themselves into a situation, not always but often.
