Had to log onto see what the talk was about the election...
I could have guessed but, of course, MV is upset. I consider that a plus.
But now we have a (1) President who was legitimately elected, by a majority
vote (51%) (2) Does not allow U.S. security to be bound by outdated
"treaties", (3) allows private enterprise to dictate the course of their
business and recognizes the health industry is in turmoil but throwing the
government resources into a social program is too costly, inefficient, and
will not solve the problem (realistically, it is the scam of insurance and
frivolous attorneys (like John Edwards) driving the problem), (4) Responded
to the declaration of war on our people and country, (5) Has gutted the
terrorist organizations responsible and continues to fight those who would
twist a peaceful religion into an extremist propaganda evil agenda, (6) has
no respect for an organization which fails to enforce its own rulings, calls
on our participation when it desires then asks us to pay for it also, and is
corrupt with bribery, self serving members, and was so deeply mired in
inaction they couldn't decide which way to turn, (7) and is disrespected by
those who were profiting from their own arms and oil deals with Saddam and
did not want U.S. involvement in Iraq because it would upset their own apple
cart.
Yes, we have a President. We do not have a White House resident who would
poll the world before acting in the best interests of the United States.
If that also means we'll be able to ride our bicycles in the woods without
elitist interference from self described experts, all the better.
