It is truly a historic day in America. I have never felt as much pride for this country as I do today. I thank those that voted Obama/Biden and hope that those that did not can unite with us that did so that we can turn this country around.

One thing I have noticed from day one…Obama promotes change. Most people do not like change. They get comfortable and freak out when things change. Look around you people. The last 8yrs have been hell. We have gone to war with two countries, our economy is in the toilet and right now we have states passing bans on marriage. Is this really a situation you can be proud of? A way you want to raise your children?

I guess if you feel that you can not come together as one and realize that working together to get this country turned around is the only way we’re going to thrive as a nation, you should move. If you can not be proud of this country and what we achieved yesterday, get to steppen and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Don’t be a sore loser. Take defeat with grace and focus on the future.
