My Hopes Regarding President Obama

Last night I was pretty depressed. I cried when John McCain conceded. I prayed for our newly elected President Obama, and for our country.
I started thinking about this man with the paper thin record, and thinking of his words, "I'm a pragmatist", and I started to feel a glimmer of hope. Is it possible that he won't push an ultra liberal socialist agenda? Food for thought, maybe his "present" votes were votes cast so that he wouldn't "tip his hand"? Maybe in good conscious he couldn't vote to the extreme left but knew that if he didn't he could never make it as far as he needed to in the extreme environment where he was traveling up the ladder to the white house?
We really know nothing about this man aside from his thin record. Maybe he won't be the Socialist leader that we expect. Maybe, now that he is in a position of power, he will seek good council and steer our country in the right direction rather than the wrong one.
I'm praying for that, because I don't want to see the country brought to her knees with another great depression and oppressive laws that limit our success and our freedoms.
I think we conservatives should put our money where our mouths are and start praying that this man will see the light, and lead our country well. I much prefer this scenario than the Jimmy Carter scenario on steroids which messes up the country so badly that he will not serve a second term and set the African American cause back for another generation.

Me too.
Actually I am concerned about the "Fairness Doctrine". Censoring the opposition does seem to be a main goal.
God answers prayers. We need to pray for our country big time.
I don't know how you can be
I know that it took more than 8 years to put the economy in this mess, and I also know that it was social engineering by the Democrats that put us in it.
It does scare me that he chose an idiot like Biden to be his V.P. I hope and pray that his other choices for council are much wiser. Even though Biden is an idiot, and has been wrong on most of his foreign policy votes, he does have experience and sees what Obama is in for with foreign leaders. I think we should all be on our knees about this one.
I do hope that this change is one for good. I will support President Obama when I think I can support him, and oppose him (unless opposition is silenced) when I think he is wrong.
I like to think that everything happens for a reason, but I have seen suffering in other countries who have followed the wrong path, and I don't want to see my country having to suffer likewise. We did very well for a very long time in a Capitalist society.
Why push for prayer 'now'. The US and the safety of our troops should always be in our prayers...
Relax
