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.

No, at the time they were fighting the British.
“If, by a ‘liberal,’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people – their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties – someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘liberal.’”

So, it's suitcase nukes now?
>>>your entire post is filled with lies and half truths put out by the propagandists on the left
Really? The part about how I broke down and sobbed, how I feel beaten down by the past 8 year, about how I am proud of my country for what we did on Tuesday ... Those lies and half-truths?
Okay, I'll check in with you next time I want to know how I feel about something.
You have the nerve to make that kind of statement but not the stones to back it up with any "facts"? That hardly makes for a credible retort.

I wonder what his chief of staff has to say about that.
I don't understand why everyone is so freaked out by the Patriot Act? If you're
>>> Who has Presidential experience except the presidents who have been presidents.
That's kind of like saying that no major league pitcher can have experience before becoming a major league pitcher so you might as well draft anyone.
>>> You people are really crazy.
Maybe so...but I didn't vote for a guy with no experience and socialist policies to run the country. LOL!
>>> Man where do you come from, where do you get this stuff from, are you not educated at all, do you not have any thoughts of your own?
Hope and change...yes we can...hope and change...yes we can...hope and change...yes we can...I hear if you repeat it long enough, and drink enough kool-aid, it actually stops sounding stupid and starts making sense.
>>> I will pray for all the misguided souls.
Thanks...I can always use a little extra help.
>>> President Obama will do what he can do to help. Obama '08
I know...by screwing the economy and encouraging our enemies.
