Ugh....what did I walk into in this thread?
Like it or not, here's my opinion:
I could care less about the color of someone's skin. In my opinion, the Bush Administration was one of the worst in this country's history. Proof? When Presidents and Leaders from other countries call up on the night of a national election, and state that they are excited about working with a new president and a more open America....that speaks volumes.
I've heard people state that Obama is going to throw this country into Socialism, or Nationalism, or whatever the heck they call it....they complain that the government is going to take control of everything...etc....etc.
Guess what? The government already has more control than the citizens of this country realize. The problem is that they don't have control over the industries that they should have SOME control over.
Proof of that can be seen in all of these pieces of wall street **** that have stolen hundreds of thousands, to millions of dollars from investors...and then they take off because they don't have the balls to show their face.
So rather than criticize someone for their skin color, I prefer to listen to the man speak, determine whether or not I agree with what he says, and then decide whether or not I feel he is capable of following through with his words and initiating that which he says he is going to do.
Actions speak louder than words, and now he should be judged on his actions. If his actions match the words he spoke during his campaign, then he is worthy of credit and respect. Given that he's only been in office for 72 hours now...so far, I haven't seen any reason to be disappointed.
