Barack Obama Elected President

Last night, the American people spoke, choosing Obama and Biden to be the next President and Vice-Presidents of this great country. To many, this was the sign of great change. To others, a cause for concern and anxiety. Despite our (obvious) differences, we must support our President. For eight years, we have endured the complaints of the left with shouts of "He's not my President." Let us not stoop to that level. Whether we like it or not, Barack Obama is our President. As difficult as it might be, we must work together. Instead of complaint after complaint, it is paramount that we take the high road and offer solutions.

I was asked today by a caller if I was worried about Obama's ability to handle a terrorist attack. I responded as truthfully as I could. President Bush has established a sound system of uncovering and preventing future terror attacks, but no system is fool proof. I do doubt, strongly doubt the new President's ability to make a judgment in a crisis situation. On many key votes, Obama voted "present" or simply abstained. I do not think a tea party with Osama bin Laden will solve the problem of terrorism. We need to be even more steadfast in preventing attacks and securing victory over insurgence and the Taliban in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although the venerable Elizabeth Dole lost her seat in North Carolina and the Maverick John Sununu lost his seat to tax-aholic Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, the GOP is still in decent position in Congress. The Democrats did not obtain a so-called "veto-proof" majority but working together will be a challenge. This generation, however, must cross the aisles more than ever. In the wake of the financial crisis and the increased intervention on the part of the federal government, it is crucial that Ben Bernanke hold his ground and that our Congress resist the temptation to further interfere in our economy. We do not want to raise the hammer and sickle over our country. Bernanke is a smart economist with an eye to the future. He must overcome the whims of the liberal administration.
