It Doesn’t Matter Who the New President is. Pray for him.

So last night we voted in a new President of the United States. I myself was a McCain supporter from the beginning, but I am not as disappointed as I am eager to see if Obama holds to his promises and is as good as all those who voted for him think he will be. McCain went down in style, saying we are in a country where we can have a say as to who we want to lead us and we got a chance to do just that. Not only am proud to be an American, but I am also very grateful for rights and freedoms we have. My man didn’t win…so what. The majority wanted Obama, and we peacefully got a majorities choice into the White House. I hope I am wrong in thinking Obama’s policies could be hurtful in the future. Millions of others think his policies could be helpful, which is why I hope they voted for him. I didn’t think all of McCain’s policies would be great answers to our countries problems either, I just thought they were a little better than Obama’s.

So now, my personal belief is that all of us need to hope and pray that our new President moves quick to keep his promises, and that his “ideas” work for the better of our country. All our past President’s did what they thought was best for the country with what they could control. Some did a lot better than others. Even George Bush made decisions based on what he thought was best for our country. He’s human and he made mistakes. He is surrounded with smart advisors, and yet things didn’t work out as well as he wanted toward the end of his term. Hopefully Mr. Obama makes a lot less mistakes and things do make a difference for the better.

To Mr. Obama I’d like to say “Congratulations”. You put up a great campaign with a lot of promises for change. I am praying that your promises can be kept and that they end up being “right” for our country. I pray that you are wise in your decisions and that your cabinet truly serve the interest of the American people. I pray you have the strength to fight hard against the economic turmoil that has already begun to hurt so many Americans, and perservere. I pray you prove me wrong in thinking that McCain’s policies were better than your own for the good of everyone who lives with us in this great country.  You will undoubtedly make mistakes, you’re human. So I pray that if mistakes that are made, they are learned from and make better results for decisions made thereafter. You were not my pick at the poll yesterday, but it doesn’t mean I do not support you now that you have won. You have my full support as my new President and I am in your corner praying for the change you promised to turn our country around and that it can, in turn, help the rest or the world get back on track. You’ve taken a path to accept more burdens than anyone should have to handle. God Bless you, and good luck!
