Our President...

Now that we have a new President elect, it's time that I re-evaluate my thoughts about him.
First of all, I must say that he should be allowed to make mistakes as all Presidents have done before him.
A good thing that's come of this is that many feel that the Civil War is finally over and that blacks no longer need to call themselves "African-Americans"...they're just Americans, like everyone else. Blacks can no longer say that America is racist.
A bad thing that's come of this is that gun sales have gone through the roof in anticipation of the new gun controls that he may institute.
Regardless, Mr. Obama is now our President and is due the respect that the office is entitled to. He is our President, like it or not !
In his latest speeches, he has finally become honest with us; telling us that he can not kept his campaign promises. There shouldn't be any disappointment over this as anyone with half a brain should have known that he not only was telling us lies but that most of those promises were impossible to keep. His past record shows that he continually has had poor judgements in choices throughout his adult life. Therefore, we must expect more poor judgement on his part.
In the meantime, until he either steps on our Constitution or starts a wave of tyranny in this country, I am obligated to support him...and you should too.
Obviously, I didn't vote for him and righteously so. That's "water under the bridge". He is coming into office under tremendous pressure and needs every bit of support from all Americans to help resolve the problems this country faces. This doesn't mean that we can't be critical of his decisions; it means that we practice his mantra of "hope". That we hope he is effective in bettering our position in the world, is effective in keeping us out of a depression and is effective in protecting us from terrorism.
Should he start chipping away at our freedoms in the name of any of the above, I will be the first to ask for either his resignation or impeachment.
So, let's sit back and give this man a chance..................I wish him luck in being a great President.
