November is over, Thanksgiving is almost up, and we are in the homestretch for the end of the fall semester. Tensions run high as the economy (and gas prices) go south. As Keith Olbermann keeps up his liberal rhetoric on O'Reilly and others, everybody else is cautious of an Obama presidency with a little suspicion and a lot of fear.
A Democrat Congress and President in the midst, we now must make the best of the end of a legacy. President Bush came in as the "illegitimate" elected President from the chaos in Florida 2000. Now he goes out with the worst approval rating, Katrina, two wars, a faltering economy, and the American reputation ruined by tortured prisoners and Middle East wars.
Personally, I have some fear of an Obama presidency. Bill Clinton came in promising change and the GOP took over the Congress in 2 years. However, this time we don't have a Newt Gingrich to promise us a Contract for America and fiscal discipline. Instead, we have infighting among Republican over who should support the new political powers coming to Washington next year and their fiscally irresponsible spending requests and bail-outs for everybody.

If things get so bad, I will head to either Canada (free donunts every time you stay at a hotel or motel room) or Germany. To tell you the truth, Im glad that Obama beat Hillary Clinton. I really do not want a former hippie running the country and messing up all the progress we made in the last 232 years.
