Well, it's over. Obama is our President-Elect, like I predicted. I am disheartened by the results of the election but not devastated. I was part of a historical moment in United States history and only time will tell the effects it will have on our country. Obama foreign policy inexperience still worries me but I am hoping that the advisors/Cabinet he surrounds himself with are well versed and intelligent and that he heeds their advice. I pray that all of my worries about him come to be unfounded and he is able to do what he says he will do (although he has already started backpedaling some).
I am excited because I think this loss will energize the Republican party like nothing else could have. We had become complacent and stuck in a rut. I think this will open the door to some new and upcoming people in the party like Bobby Jindal and that a new and stronger Republican party could emerge. I also believe it has shown us that the Evangelical part of the party is not the only part of the party and that all sects should be heard and represented.
All in all, I pray for this country and its new leaders that they will have wisdom and discernment in leading our country and that we as Americans are able to come together for the good of our nation and our fellow countrymen. Time will tell and we will see.
