A New President - WARNING: OPINION POST

Well, once again, we elected a new president. I'll admit that I was a McCain supporter, not Obama (actually, Huckabee, but that's beyond the point). However, since my candidate did not win, I will support the one who did as much as possible. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, I'm instructed to pray and support my leader. That's not to say that I'll agree with Obama on every (or even most) things, though! He's about as complete opposite of me as one (other than Hilary Clinton) can get! I'm very excited that he's the first African-American to be elected! That's opened the doors to SO many people now! I'm still hopeful that I'll see a female president during my lifetime (just PLEASE not Hilary Clinton!).

I truly hope and pray that Obama holds true to his word of changing our country for the better! My fear, though, is he will lead us to a more socialist country. Just for the heck of it, here's the Wilkipedia definition of "socialism":

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly.

In other words, in a socialist society, everything is split evenly whereas in a capitalist society, each person is given the opportunity to take care of themselves. I want to take care of myself and not rely on the government! I don't want Universal Healthcare. I don't want to "spread the wealth around." I even want Social Security to be handed to the private sector. That's a perfect example as to why we don't need to put our healthcare in the government's control!

That being said, even though I'm quite fearful of Obama's policies, I have hope that he will be a successful president. Only the next 4 years will tell, though.

'Nuff said!
