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.

So, it's suitcase nukes now?
You can be afraid of getting your second amendment rights away if you want.
The mention of suitcase nukes has me pondering a question.
And the porosity of the borders can be compensated for by not respecting the privacy rights of individuals in regards to phone calls?

And an assault rifle isn't?
Rights are rights.
Perhaps not, but Obama is personally of the opinion that what firearms we should be able to legally own should be severely curtailed, and I wouldn't be surprised somewhere down the road to see him push such an agenda.
