A Big Change

So last night it happened. Obama won the presidency. I am happy... I think... I am nervous as well though. It will be a big change. The hardest change and biggest surprise for me was the overall "wiping out" of Republicans in office. It was crazy. I am not a fan of no real check and balance in government (that is all I am really nervous about). I am praying too that God keeps Obama safe and his family safe because unfortunately there are still a lot of stupid people out there that have problems with race still (that have a problem that he is "African American" even though his mom was white).... I just pray that he is safe from people that hate. I would be really upset if there was any attempt at an assassination; REALLY UPSET. I hate racism. It isn't even logical.... stupid....

Catie was happy. She really wanted Obama to win (as you can tell by the sign she place outside of the house). I had fallen asleep and she woke me up to tell me he had won... although when I fell asleep he was way ahead at the time and McCain had already lost Ohio and Pennsylvania. I thought he would win before I even knew he was running for president. Basically I thought anyone who was not a Republican would win just based on the disapproval of Bush.

So here we go. He is a charismatic and young guy that has some serious ground to make up after the last few years (even though I know that wasn't all on Bush). I just pray that he stays pure and way from temptation (as he will be faced with it even more than other presidents... I think). I think he will be good. Yes, I know. He is "very" liberal.... but we will see how that plays out. I think there are always "major" flaws in different candidates that often time never are seen. I remember when Clinton went into office my parents make it sound like there would be all these major problems with him in office... they acted like the U.S and morals would crumble... but that didn't happen. Clinton had other problems..... like keeping his hands to himself (he had moral issues) but the U.S. didn't crumble.

I have also heard that Obama will be not good because he is so inexperienced. But seriously, was Bush experienced.... yeah I guess. How did that turn out? Was Carter experienced... yeah, I guess.... How did that turn out? There are "experienced" presidents that do a bad job too so why not have Obama in? I am sure there are people that disagree with this but sorry... that is how I feel and I never heard one really good argument why to vote for McCain.... I heard a lot of why not to vote for Obama but no really good reason on why McCain is good. And too me that is a problem. Don't just sit and try to point out all the flaws, tell me what McCain will do better and different. I was just a little bit frustrated that other Christians thought I should vote McCain just because I am a Christian. I think that is a really really stupid thing to say.... there are bad things about Obama's ideas, there are also bad things about McCain's ideas. Don't try and pigeon hole me... that is a major problem with a lot of Christianity in general (but that is a whole other subject).

So that is all for my political rant right now. I just pray for a peaceful change in the White House and in this country.
