9. Change

This week was big for America history, our first African American President! I am so excited that one day, I can tell my children I lived through that. What aggravates me is that I will also have to explain to them how some people reacted. I didn't even get on facebook and myspace Tuesday night, because of all the ridiculous status.
If there is one message I would tell everyone its that we are Democrats and Republicans second, first we are Americans. Obama is our president now and we should honor that, no matter who we voted for. In the Bible, King Saul tried to have David killed. David still honored him. If you have not watched McCain's concession speech, I highly suggest you do. He is very classy and the speech is beautiful. If we all listen to his words the transition will go a bit easier.
I guess by this blog, I am saying, please stop hating and saying you are moving away from America. The truth is, America is our home and we should be proud of it. The new President Obama deserves the chance to show us his new policy.

I agree with your point. People need to realize that we're Americans first. Personally, I don't like political parties because some people will only vote based on the party.

You make a good point here. these points are very true..people are dumb when it comes to who they vote for and why. Not to mention, the worse part of it all is, like you said, what all goes down after the election. But what can you say...people are always gonna be just plain "stupid".
