Maybe this deserves it's own thread but I can only hope the Obama gets full support and the respect that a president deserves regardless of your vote or political party. It's damn time the US comes together in this fashion and although i didn't vote for him, I respect him greatly and I respect the office of president greatly.

There are those out there in the far left or far right that don't share my views and refuse to respect those elected that may be in a different party. I think that view is one of disrespect to the US. It's their right, but it doesn't make it right.

I think you can pretty much count on Barack governing from the center. And when it's all said and done, I think he'll lose some friends on the left and gain some new ones on the right.

Obama has used the word himself in the past. Hey he won but I still do not think he is going to run things as a moderate as some here think. If he did then I will feel lucky that how I feel now did not come true. If anything he is going to move to the left now that the election is over.

Then count yourself lucky, First. Obama will move to the center on some things, and remain, well, a Democrat (left) on most of his issues.

Besides, let's stop getting too caught up on what's right and what's left. How about moving forward and not backwards. How about solving problems. Who really cares which party get's credit.

Give him a break, at least he didn't confuse Obama with Osama. Don't worry jbcjr14, the ship is so off course even you could sit on the captain chair and steer it to land. I have confidence in your captaining skills.
