Somehow in the coronation ceremony of yesterday, the fact that 53 million Americans did not vote for this man got lost. When Bush got 52% of the vote we were a country divided, but when Obama gets 53% suddenly he has a mandate. Yep, the libs are definitely in charge and we are given our marching orders to go to the back of the class, sit down and shut up. I agree we should not be gratuitous in our criticism. But if anything that Obama said he'd do on the campaign trail actually gets proposed, you can bet he'll be hearing from me. Like Sarah Palin says, "We'll praise him when we can and oppose him when we must."MommyGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09671319348018059667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381987080543168709.post-9808811528077732832008-11-06T18:30:00.000-05:002008-11-06T18:30:00.000-05:00Mike, That's when the serenity prayer kicks in.

The fact is that Obama is our next President. It doesn't matter how he got there (even if there was cheating going on). It matters that he was elected and we have to respect that.<BR/>We treat him just as we did Bush. We applaud him when he's right (which might not be often) and stand up to him when he's wrong. And we try to defeat him at the ballot box next time around.<BR/>There will be issues that arise that he will handle wrong, but we are a strong country and we can survive. We must because throwing in the towel is not an option.<BR/>Stand strong, be brave and fight on.<BR/>I love you.Michael M.

Yes, I'm very upset about the outcome, but, of course I will get over it and get on with my life.

A bit disappointing, yes-but not as earth shattering as a Stephen King novel. We will make it through the next 4 (or even possibly 8) years-I promise (just as we did the Clinton era which was supposed to be all doom and gloom as well). When in doubt, remember: I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

I won't do that. After all, he didn't do anything. Every word he spoke and every step he took was directed by someone else. I agree with you about the media, ACORN and the like, but I blame it all on Oprah - it was her idea for him to run, even though he said himself that he didn't have enough experience. Personally, I'm very depressed about the outcome of the election because I'm afraid of what the consequences will be when he takes office. Tens of thousands of black people voted in this election who have never voted before, simply because they wanted one of their own to be elected. Even Whoopie Goldberg said this morning that her daughter voted for the first time. It's not like she's that young, she has an 18 yr. old daughter. I wouldn't have admitted that. I think I mentioned to you a while ago that I believe the fix was in for Obama to win this election and I was right. God help us all.Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273764786645642965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381987080543168709.post-54256957994924100632008-08-25T20:33:00.000-04:002008-08-25T20:33:00.000-04:00I can just picture it. Very funny, indeed. Not at all like when we had a bat in our house when I was a kid. A camera would have been great, but getting the bat out of the house was more important.<BR/><BR/>Love, MomCarolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07153107460379569290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381987080543168709.post-29516899790741903252008-08-25T15:07:00.000-04:002008-08-25T15:07:00.000-04:00Too funny! Kudos to you and the girls for not having a freakfest! I'd have been screaming and hiding in a room while the boys took care of it.<BR/><BR/>You need to learn to keep the camera with you at ALL times!<BR/>Love y'all!Hockey Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02911795863896443865noreply@blogger.com
