Barrack Obama is probably the better decision for America in a time like this. He says that he sees America as a united group of people, but then again most every democrat sees America as a group. He used the golden word "change" a lot in his campaign trail to the white house. Ill just say this first, "a change we need" is a way better slogan than "country first.' "Country First" is implying some scarry shit. Americas borders are already big enough, spilling to the far reaches of the world, where we are trying to "spread democracy" which aparently is the best form of government known to man. At least that is what Manifest Destiny told us if you all remember correctly. Those last two sentences were sarcasim if you didnt already figure that out.
Now, Obama is in the white house. It is going to be interesting to see what he is going to try and do with congress, and the way things are run in Washington D.C. But remember everyone who thinks that there will be significant changes, trying to solve problems with government hasn't always worked in the past, infact, things that try and get solved by government can take a really long time, and can be completely forgotten about. Look back to the Progressive ERA. People liked to think that they were progressive, but not a whole lot changed. This time could be very similar 100 years later where we think that we are making changes, but we dont really move that far.
(note:I didn't vote for Obama)

I'm very pleased the Obama won. How much he'll be able to achieve in office, and how well he'll be able to lead this nation remain to be seen, but I agree wholeheartedly that the best man for the job won.
