Post One In the Age of Obama

So we have elected a new President.

A black man.

Wow.

That is awesome. Let us hope we as a nation can move forward and heal. Because healing is what we will need to do, if you don't think so you are just fooling yourself. Sure you saw lots of people crying for happiness and jumping for joy, but there were a lot of other people who were wringing their hands and grinding their teeth. There are a lot of people out there who really do believe that Obama is a Socialist, and are scared stupid that he's gonna replace the stars and stripes with a big old red star.

Give them time.

Obama is not a Socialist. The whole claim of Socialism was a desparate ploy on part of the GOP, they were playing to fear, not to reality. Asking the extremely wealthy to return to the taxes they paid under the Clinton administration, is not all of the sudden socialism, that is a rollback of a taxcut. If you want to call anyone a Socialist look no farther than President Bush(R) and the nationalization of the countries banks.

Reality will assert itself over the next few months.

You will see that he is not a socialist. How? Not by his words but by his actions.

Obama will have to lead from the center not from the far left, because it is the center where a majority of Americans still reside.

We are not a nation of "Joe the Plumber's." (Who wasn't even a plumber)

We are a nation of middle class, and the middle class has been getting squeezed pretty hard the last 8 years. Lets hope we can all come together and put this country back on the right track and get all of our messes sorted.

If this election taught us anything, it's that Americans want to be involved again.

So lets get started.
