He's President!

What I want to know is why this kind of thing happens.

I'm not going to lie here. I am one biased, biased person. I was all for Barack Obama to be president and I rubbed it in my republican friend's face when he won. I stayed up all night making sure he was going to win and joined Team Sarah to sabotage their "OBAMA IS A TERRORIST!" spamming.

But if John McCain had won, I promise you, I would not still be complaining. I would not spend every history class bashing republicans and pointing it out every time he said the words "uh" "um" or just plain faltered for a second. Both men are human, and that happens to the best of us.

(Although, Obama is the best of us.)

He's the president! He won! He did it fair and square and get over it! He has four years to turn this country around, and if we're lucky, eight! So even if you don't like Barack Obama, he's who we have, so standing behind him makes his job a whole lot easier and more likely to become a success.

Gerald Ford, who took the office after Nixon resigned had an awful job of it, because Americans had stopped trusting the government. He had no one standing by him; do not make the same mistake in this day and age. Obama can do this because he has the whole of America. But he only has the whole of America if he has you.
