Respect For Obama

Obama and his team ran an impressive campaign. Organization and control are probably the two words that I would use to best describe Obama at this moment. Those are two good qualities, although control can easily morph into oppression if not careful. At any rate we as a nation should allow Obama the opportunity to pull together his administration and their policies. This could be a good time for our country to honestly debate several issues that have festered along the surface for years: most notably health care, taxes and wealth distribution, and our role internationally. I do not believe that any of us should roll over and just let Obama have his way. Many beliefs are worth standing up and fighting for . . hopefully not only will people do that, but their rights and ability to have a say in this administration will not be oppressed.

On the humorous side, Ann Coulter wrote today something that made me smile: "For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president."
