It's a new day...

Okay. We've just elected to the presidency a man we know virtually nothing about.

There's celebrations all over. My facebook friends are falling over themselves with happiness. My Celiberal.com friends are dejected and fearful for the future of America.

President-elect B.O. (following the tradition of presidents being alluded to by their initials, like JFK, LBJ, etc. The H is missing, because liberals hate when a conservative makes any mention of Obama's middle name) ran on the idea that the last 8 years have been an abysmal failure in American history. As of yesterday, he has 4 years to make it better before he has to answer for those charges.

It's his chance to show what kind of leader he is, because he has no experience as a leader that we can look to.

Will he actually seek to work with those of another political party? His record would indicate no, because in Illinois and in the US Senate he voted along with his party in all things. Most leaders will try to at the very least, acknowledge those with whom they disagree.

Will he stand and make the declaration on which he balked in the campaign, specifically, deciding when his administration will acknowledge that life begins? Again, his record would seem to indicate no, with his voting record including opposition to saving the life of a child who survives an abortion attempt.

Will he stand strong, and put the interests of America first, regardless of what world opinion and the corrupt United Nations state? According to his rhetoric, not really.

So, from what we do know about B.O., he will not work with those with whom he disagrees (according to the polls, about 46% of the voting public), he will sign legislation that allows for the continued killing of unborn children, without determining an actual moment when they should be granted rights as human beings, and, according to his campaigning, will sit down with known enemies of America and our Allies and speak to them as equals.

We have what we wanted, apparently. We have change.

And now I have the other half of what B.O. ran on. Hope.

I hope that in 4 years, either I am proved wrong in my opposition to the president, or that the country survives his time in office.
