New President, New Hope

Well, if you have been abducted by aliens and were temporarily off-world for the past few weeks, Barack Hussein Obama was recently elected the 44th president of the United States of America.

Here's my take on it:

So he's the first black American to hold the office. So what if he's black? If anyone, male, female, black, or white, is capable of handling the job (ANY job), and they posses the talent, skill, and determination to perform the tasks and duties of that job in a manner that is professional and respectful, then, I say, they deserve the position.

Race and gender have nothing to do with it. Personal character has EVERYTHING to do with it. Things like honesty, integrity, dedication, thoroughness, attention to detail, and more define who we are not only as Americans, but as citizens of the planet Earth and as friends and neighbors, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers.

So I say to you, President Obama, good luck and God speed. You have all of my best wishes and my faith that you will pull our country out of the terrifying funk that it has sunk itself into. We, the citizenry of this glorious country, are behind you all the way!
