I’ll peek out from under my rock in four years…

At least that seems to be the sentiment among many conservatives at the moment. I have a message for all of you… One of the most valid reasons for not voting for Obama, no matter who you were, is that he didn’t give real specifics about his policies… as of now, you have nothing to be afraid of from him. I ask you all to join with 52% of the nation in hope, after all, that is the only message that Obama really had. Let’s hope that he can make good on his promises. Let’s hope that in trying to help the middle class he doesn’t destroy small business and force companies to filter higher taxes to the consumers. Most of all, let’s hope he can stand up to the ultra left and govern from a stature not too far from center… right now our country needs non-partisan leadership and intelligent policies that aren’t based on lobbies and affiliations. Let’s hope.

Obama will be my president and if you don’t want him to be yours then it is your right to forfeit your citizenship and depart the country. Otherwise, please stop with the “impeach now” and similarly negative messages. Give the man a chance to promote a positive change in our government and country. He’ll have plenty of time to shoot himself in the foot… and if he does… if he takes our nation in a terrible direction and does none of the things he gave his word he would do… if he leads us into destabilizing harmony with all of Europe… then we can call for impeachment. For now, support him and let him do his job.

On a more/less (depends on perspective) sour note: I was forwarded this today which does make me question, grossly, the competency of our nation. Get ready for the far right loons… they’ll be all over the news for 4 years.

Edit: It is quite unfortunate that the tags in WP are ordered alphabetically… I promise there is no hidden message there.
