With Change comes Responsibility

I did not want Barak Obama to be elected, that being said I hope he is hugely successful. After all we still need to live in this country. Although, if things get really bad us Texans can say vaya con dios and part ways friendly. I doubt that would ever happen but it is nice to have that as a possible exit strategy.

Now Obama must handle the financial crisis, the sliding economy, the wars in the mid-east and of course the soon to arrive attack that soothsayer Biden said will come. Much blame will be given to the Republicans over all these crises, but they are now in charge and must fix the problems with their policy of change.

The problem with the "Change" rhetoric is their policies have been tried all over the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, even Great Britain and France and they have all moved away from Obama's changes. Much of the financial crisis started when the Dem's took over the Senate, so if it is business as usual we will really have big problems. There are leaks about federalizing the automotive industry--as an individual with twenty years of experience in the car business more government involvement would be the death of the domestic car industry.

Obama is a smart man. I hope he governs differently then his voting record. One more issue that I am extremely concerned about is the fact that he is the first black president. My choice for president never had anything to do with race but, what if Obama's presidency is akin to Carter's how long would it be before we have another black president. That is what is really concerning. Their are some articulate, out of the box, minority politicians that could do this country some good. However, there are still many that will blame failure on the color of the man in office. This is shameful, but still the case in the U.S.

I was not happy when Obama won the election, because of his policies, however, I was proud of my country that he was elected, because perhaps we have finally put the slavery issue behind us. That goes for the Aryan Brotherhood and the black Poverty Pimps--there is change and these groups are now insignificant

Did You Know Obama is Our First Black President?

The election is over and the sky did not fall. Yes, it was disturbing to see the blatant biasness of the old and soon to be extinct old media. Likewise, Black Panthers with night sticks at polling locations seems a bit fascist, but in the end the system worked.

California passed a ban on gay marriage--CALIFORNIA did this. The Senate did not get a super-majority and we have only two years until the House turns over. Reportedly, gun sales went ballistic the Wednesday after Obama's election. These are all good things.

The ultimate, God-given right of all humans is to fight and have descent against tyranny of all forms. There may be some tyranny on the way, but let's not forget the red states have plenty of guns and know how to use them. I am not suggesting a government overthrow, but if the government attempts to eclipse the rights that were written in the constitution be ready. The important thing to remember about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence is they enumerated our right given to us by God--not any government run by man.

Finally, there are two historical similarities of the Obama presidency. The first is the one term of President Carter whose policy threw our country into the depths of stagflation. Obama's Reaganesque tax talk does not equate to the spending and re-distribution of the wealth which he also discusses. Likewise, speaking of redistribution of wealth, the last time the media was having orgasmic celebrations of a world leader was when Gorbachev came upon the scene. In both cases, the leaders' terms or countries did not last long.

We are still Americans and we have lived through similar situations, but we must now be the loyal opposition. Fight all forms of tyranny. Use your freedom of speech in the form of descent against wrong, idiotic or un-American governmental actions.

Do not disengage, fight the good fight, our country was founded on inherent God given rights that no man, agency or government can deny. I founding fathers found this worth dying for and I can't think of many things worth more than sacrificing whatever it takes to keep our country America.
