After 8 years of a very unpopular president and a fairly inept republican party, the Democratic triumph is not unexpected. McCain lost the election when he didn't stand up to the bailout and decry it for what it was: A sham bailout for undeserving, greedy crooks, which covers the mistakes of speculators who turned the economy into their own personal roulette wheel and offers not a dime to help normal people struggling not to lose their homes. He likewise should have denounced the stimulus package for what it was: a band-aid on cancer and a tacit admission by the left that what the country really needs are fewer taxes.
No, an Obama presidency is nothing to worry about. We survived 8 years of a Clinton presidency, this can't be any worse. This economy is beyond repair and in 4 years, Obama will probably be hanging on to his job by a thread. If the republicans can come up with a dynamic leader between now and then (Not Sarah Palin) then it should be a simple matter of "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" Since unemployment will probably have doubled, and foreclosures will still be high, I'm guessing people will be ready to see him go.

Maybe activist judges will finally get the message that they should not read their own political views into the law. Maybe the Homosexual Agenda will finally realize that the way to bring about change in the country is through broad consensus building and not forcing unwelcome change down America's throat by way of activist judicial fiat.
So, while america voted for change in personnel, it HAS NOT embraced a liberal and permissive agenda as some would have you believe. In essence, the vote against gay marriage says:

THat's what Democrats thought after the first four years of Bush, but then they had to go and nominate Kerry.
But at least we learned our lesson and nominated a winner this time.
Yes, now you need to convince him to stop chain smoking. The thought of Joe Biden as President makes me pray for Obama's continued health and welfare.
Obama.... No shock there. Since I am convinced that Americans vote solely on visual appearances,McCaine had less than a shade of a chance. Oh well. What is skyrocketing inflation and more government influence on top of everything else?
