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.

I think you worry too much. I tried to be positive about Bush his first time being elected, was with him with the war in Afghanistan, but he totally disgusted me since with going into Iraq. I got more and more disgusted when it became apparent that the intelligence was cooked as to look like we realy needed to go into Iraq. all the justfications, the WMD's that were never found, the assurances that it would be over quickly were ALL WRONG. I don't know how anybody cannot see the MESS this Administration has gotten us into.
We aren't Mayans, why should we give a hoot about their calendar? This reformation and uprising and the establishment of Al Qauida came about after the first Gulf War. Our troops were then on Muslim Holy ground, that was part of the enragement of the radicals, Bin Laden included. He resented the coziness of Daddy Bush and Saudia Arabia.
you do know that the viet Nam was was a way for the United States to flex it's muscles and show it's power to the rest of the world, don't you? The VN war was also a war for the wealthy to get wealthier.
Hum, you do know that Vietnam is one country now north and south combined. We did good there and we are doing good in Iraq too. Interesting response We aren't Mayans, why should we give a hoot about their calendar?, Afganistan, if we iqnore them they will keep training children to put bombs on and kill. Not to mention the isolationist nation we once were and allowed Hitler to do his thing it was more important not to get into war, not to care after all we're not Germans. Lets just care about ourselves and become islolationists that is
We did good there and we are doing good in Iraq too"
Did "good" (well) in Vietnam?
