My Take on the Election!
Yesterdays election have mixed feelings for me. I am so happy for our nation, and the advances we have made from the civil rights movement of the 1960's. It was a historic election, that some people never thought would come. I am glad that I was able to witness history. I am proud of our nation, and the ability to rally for the love of a nation, and the hope that the government process with improve. There is an intense feeling of joy, and satisfaction for how far we have come.
Where I am dissapointed is some of Barack Obama policies. His universal welfare plan/socialistic ideals, are an area I don't believe in. I think you should earn everything you get, and not get hand outs from the government. I believe his Universal Health care plan will continue to bankrupt Americans. I am also worried about his attitude to appointing Supreme Court Judges. He has said he want to appoint judges who judge according to their conscience. This is WRONG, you have to appoint judges who judge according the THE CONSTITUTION!!!! I am worried about his stance on the second amendment.If the second amendment goes, what amendment is next? I think his tax plan will force companies to move more jobs out of the United States to escape his taxes. If they don't move, I'm worried the cost of the new taxes will be pushed back on the consumer. He has also said he will slow the development of new weapons systems to save money for our military, which effects my friends!
I believe his election has been a case of symbolism over substance. His history in the Senate has not been long enough to know where he stands on many topics. We do not know too much about who he is and what he has stood for in the past. Many topics have been left up to the wind, and questions left un-answered. Most people who I've talked to who wanted to vote for him voted for "Change", whether they knew what that change was or not. Yes we need change, but that is an idea. Which is why I say "symbolism over substance". Where his election has been a major symbol of hope, it leave many topics up in the air.
In some areas I agree with Obama, is the processes in Washington needs changes. Major changes need to happen for the government to be an effect representative of the American people. It is apparent how much Barack Obama loves this country and the people in it. Of this fact, there is no doubt. I believe that whatever he does do, it is him trying to make our country better. Where I may not agree with his tactics, this does not affect his overall motives behind what he accomplishes.
I am trying to be optimistic about the next four years in the United State, but have many concerns. In the end, he will be our commander-in-chief. Unlike the population with the current administration, I hope everyone can rally behind him and support him through the good times as well as the bad. I will not be one of the idiots with the bumper sticker that says "Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy". I will be supportive when i agree and crucial when I disagree. But it will not change the respect he deserves and has rightly earned. God Bless the United States of America, and the leaders of the nation. I hope that with Gods guidance, Barack Obama will take this nation into prosperity. I will be rooting for him. I hope everyone in the United States is rooting for Barack Obama to succeed.
