Congratulations to President-Elect Obama
At long last, the 2008 Presidential election marathon has ended and we have a new President-elect who will be sworn in on January 20, 2009. Barack Obama’s political accomplishments have broken new ground. He is yet another reason that we tell our kids to not limit their goals and they can achieve anything in America. Not only our kids, but this limitless potential is why immigrants come to America and the reason that America has been so influential and successful over its years. Race relations should be improved as well, as Barack is half African American and has attained the highest position in the most influential country.
Although Barack wasn’t our first choice, he was a decisive winner and will be our next President. His issues were discussed in this blog, and are there to be judged against. Common Sense Politics will not condemn Barack Obama because we have different beliefs, but will certainly hold him to his words, as are included in many of the articles here. We would hope that those that voted for him will hold him to this same standard, doing what you said.
It would be easy to criticize him and his policies, but, as said, we will hope for the best, and hope that the campaign showed him many issues that many Americans want addressed. Although his past may show otherwise, he will soon be President of the United States, and that commands a different level of compassion and values for its constituents. The advisors he chooses should help with this, but time will tell.
This site will continue with political analyses at times, but plans on moving toward another theme that revolves around common sense education. A possibility would be to investigate common sense thoughts for their validity and use it to help teach kids to not take things at face value, but consider several sources of information and arrive at their own conclusion using common sense.
Congratulations again to President-Elect Barack Obama! We hope your presidency unites Americans while keeping its constitutional values. In your acceptance speech, you promised to be the President to all Americans and we sincerely hope you meant those words. This would require consideration from more than one ideological point of view when new programs are proposed and eventual become law.
