i get it. the first african-american president is a big deal. not only for a race, but for america as a whole. it builds on what the american dream is all about. but wtf? why is everyone so in love with obama? he hasn't done jack yet. its not that i dislike the man or anything like that. i think he's very intelligent and capable, but i know, and i'm sure others do too, that he will be hated if he doesn't make things better. just like bush. being a leader is difficult.
bush did the best he could. he did what he had to do. he took it to those who want to harm americans and put the safety of our nation above all else. and he cared about the troops. (but so many have died!) i know and it sucks. but let's face it, that's what we soldiers do. we fight and we die. he does not feel the pain of the families and friends, no one can, but he feels the pain as our leader. that's what i believe. as for obama? i respect him as a person, but he has to earn my respect as our president. at this moment, i don't think he feels for the troops as much as bush did/does. how could he? he hasn't been with us through the war like bush has. obama says he's satisfied with keeping bin laden in hiding and on the run? if that's the case, i feel like he's spitting in my face and in all the troops' faces. that's not good enough damnit! for all those who have fallen and those who continue to fight, bin laden and all insurgents need to be brought to justice. its a shame that bush couldn't see this to the end, but hopefully obama will.
so i pray for our new president. God be with him, his family and his administration. may he lead us well, through and out of these difficult times. amen.
