Rapman 1,

Interesting perspective you have. My perspective is completely different. But that's part of why this country is so appealing (even still) to the rest of the world. We have these great freedoms here. Funny how things have been so terrible the last 8 years and yet America still seems to be the number 1 choice for immigrates to start a new life. Yeah it's been a really bad 8 years. Times were tuff huh? I bet you made more money this last 8 years than any time in your life. Just a guess...Am I right? I see a President who has kept this great nation safe from attacks on our own soil for the last 8 years while being constantly attacked by the left wing liberals and the media (again left wing liberals) and sadly abandoned by his own party and still stick to what he believed to be the correct path regardless of how his popularity may suffer. I see that as a very admirable quality. You spoke of the failed economic policies. You may want to do some research to find out exactly who is to blame. Google Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac. You may not like what you find out.

I wish the best for our new President. I pray he leads this country with his heart in it. I just wish he would put his hand over it when the National Anthem is being played though. That gesture would show some respect for this nation's heritage and those before us who died preserving it and all of our freedoms.
