Now I can forget about all this crap and get on with life.

Comrades.

 

Also get ready to feel him and the IRS taking more of our money for WHO THE F knows.

 

We're done. Stick a fork in us.:eek2:

 

Oh yeah it will be complete chaos for the U.S. after the successfull born again "Christian" George bush is replaced with likes of Obama ...lol

 

Does the average truck driver make low enough money to start getting money from the rich folks?

I thought it was a funny how WV voted yesterday. WV is a purely democratic state and has been for as long as I could remember. Not so with the voting. Ok, I guess we're still racist here in the sticks.

 

Yawn. I don't see much changing my lifestyle. I've been around for about 10 different presidents now and not much changes. Too many other people collectively control what goes on in this country to worry about one guy.

I'm still a working man and I still have to fend for myself. No one else is going to do it for me.

I will say this though, I kinda like what I see in our new President, I hope he doesn't disappoint us all.

 

You must have a short memory. Although as of this election West Virginia's only voted Republican 6 times since 1932, WV went for Bush in both 2000 and 2004. I'm sure racism played some part this time, but overall it may have simply been due to a growing conservative trend.

 

Ya know, for as much as Bush screwed some things up (and he did well in others, too, whether you admit it or not), I can't think of anything that you or I really lost during his 8 years in office. Yeah, we had a terrorist attack...we're fighting a controversial war in Iraq...the markets have done some weird and wild things...but aside from that, what did you lose? Did you you lose any freedoms? Did you lose your country? No. You didn't. Sure, you may have lost a bit from your 401K. I did, but how's that Bush's fault? The whole market thing was set into play long before Bush got into office. Just like the terrorist attacks. And no, I don't agree with the $700 billion bailout, either. But Bush, McCain, and Obama and MOST of the democratic congress put that ball into play. So if you're going to hang blame on that one, hang it on them all.

Bottom line is, we're all tied in to a media driven world, so we get to see everything up close and personal today. Bush went 8 years. Was he a good president? A bad president? It's going to depend on who you ask and opinions are going to be subjective. I think he was middle of the pack, by no means phenominal and certainly not the demon that the liberal left has conjured up. By and large, life went on as normal for me and I'll bet it did for the majority of people, too, whether they admit it or not. But everyone likes to get caught up in media-driven frenzies and never has that been more obvious than the past couple years.

So now, we've got Obama. Nearly a billion dollars spent on a campaign and a media wholly dedicated to you...hard to lose with those odds. So, he's in. My personal opinion is, big whoopdedoo. Do I think we're screwed as a nation? Oh certainly. I've watched Obama closely, listened hard to what he stands for, and there's no doubt that the freedoms you had under Bush are going to come under fire in probably the not-too-distant future. But that aside, I'm not changing my life. I'm not at all depressed or worried. I'm still working, my kids go to school, my wife and I still go on dates, and my family is going to continue to enjoy life. When Obama's CHANGE begins to come forth, and believe me it will, we will simply adapt. That's the nice thing about human drive and will to live and succeed, and I think that by and large, you'll see conservatives and republicans do the same as Obama changes this country. By the same token, though, it'll be the liberals that will suddenly be taken off guard and screaming for CHANGE again, when the changes that Obama plans do not meet with their standards. These are the same people that were unable to adapt to the changes in the world over the past 8 years and rather than adapt, they simply screamed out for change.

Well, they screamed for it and change is what they are going to get. They will find, though, that change for the sake of change is never a good thing.

Welcome to a new America folks. We'll revisit this in a year or two and see how things are working out for you.
