New U.S. President!

Today at 12:04 this afternoon President-elect Obama became President Obama, the 44th U.S. President. The amount of people that went out in the cold to watch history today reached over 1 million. I read that their where people crammed 10 deep along the route President Obama traveled, and thousands at the National Mall. This is a day a lot of people will never forget, mainly because Barack Obama is our first black President. He will be moving into a home that slaves help build, that’s history. I wonder what slaves where thinking when they took part in building the walls of the White House. If those walls could talk I would bet they wouldn’t say a word, but just simply smile. We’ve come so far as a young country, and if we want to go further we need to unite once again. President Obama has a chance to bring this country back together. And I sure hope he does just that.

Joe The Plumber!

Do you all remember this guy? He’s the guy who cornered Barack Obama about his tax plan. Now it seems that Mr. Joe The Plumber is heading to Israel to cover the war for a website I will not name in this post. He’s going has a war correspondent to cover how the “Average Joe’s” are handling the war. He plans to stay over there for about 10 days to cover the war. I would like to know if this guy is nuts, he’s not a reporter nor does he realize what’s he’s getting into. He’s going to get himself killed. When reporters head into a war zone their well funded and well protected. I sure hope the website sending him over there is somewhat funded and will provide him with protection, because he’s going to need it.

Another Good Choice!

Our President-elect Barack Obama has made another good choice with adding another cabinet member. And this member is already in the position. Yes, you read it correctly; one of President Bush’s Cabinet members is staying on the job. And that member is Defense Secretary Robert Gates who is head of the Pentagon. This is a great choice in my opinion; this will also keep the Pentagon in good shape. Obama has also asked Gen. James Jones a retired Marine general to be White House national security adviser, which is another good choice. Obama we need this kind of experience in his administration to help defend America. There’s going to be more positions to be filled in his administration, and hopefully he will continue to make more good picks.

Bill Clinton Again!

It seems that President-elect Barack Obama is using President Clinton’s people. And you what, it’s really not a bad idea if you ask me. I have always said that Bill Clinton did a great job for the United States. He may have done a lot things wrong, you know what I’m talking about, but he did a lot things good too. When he left office he had America on course of getting out of debt completely. And then President Bush came into office and everything went straight down hill. Granted America did come under attack and we lost a lot of American lives. And the actions that President Bush took I feel where the right one’s. But he’s made so many bad choices that it will make for a story for another day. Anyway, the people that Barack Obama is bringing together are a great thing. These people will definitely make up where Barack Obama falls short on. I’m a firm believer in surround yourself with good people and let them do their job. And if that’s what Barack Obama does everything will turn out all right for America again.
