My President

I didn’t vote for him and I may not agree with him on several issues but as the President of the United State he is now My President. Those words are not hard to say (or type in this case) because the beauty of our democratic system is that the people vote in the leader. This means that sometimes the person you want to win does not and you have to live with that result because the people have spoken.
Overall I think we needed some change in Washington an I hope that Obama can make that happen. He has a lot of problems to deal with right away and I do not envy his position right now. The next 100 days or so will really show us how the next 4 years are going to go.
For the record, there are several things that I criticize Bush for over the past 8 years as well. So even if the guy I voted for had gotten into office there is a good chance I would have had problems with his policy as well.
