Well, Some People Are Just Sore Losers.

So I'm listening to the Glenn Back radio program today (November 7, 2008) and he's talking about the great U.S. Constitution and the way our system is setup with regards to the bloodless revolution we have every 4 or 8 years when power is transferred peacefully from one administration to another. He also spends some time talking about the fact that even for those of us (including yours truly) that voted for the OTHER candidate, Barack Obama won't be the Democratic President, but he will be the President of the United States. His point is that he will be OUR president. That means he is also MY president.

A couple of days ago I wrote in my blog about this very subject. I said ...'my prayers will waft to heaven; "Dear Father, let Barack Obama be President for all of us. And Dear Father, let the American People accept him as the President of all of us."'

So of course, right after Glenn gets done with his monologue, the first caller says that Glenn is confusing and upsetting him. When asked why, the caller says that Glenn has been spending the last three months demonizing Senator Obama, drawing attention to his association with Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan, as well as talking about his extremely liberal voting records (what little there is). The caller then states that President-elect Obama can never be HIS president and that he cannot support him. Of course, Glenn Beck pretty much went nuts on the guy and GOMP'd him (GOMP = "Get Off My Phone!").

America, you need to get this through your head. Every four years the U.S. Citizenry gets to poll for who they want to represent them as their President. Some people vote for this guy, while others vote for that guy, and still other vote for that OTHER other guy. At the end of Election Day, one of those guys gets more votes than anybody else. If he gets over 270 Electoral College votes, he get's to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in about 80 days. Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals, Libertarians, Greens must all support this president and claim him as their own. That doesn't mean that I'll kowtow to a vast shift to the left by a Democrat President that rubber-stamps everything sent to him by a Democrat Congress. Where necessary, I will LOYALLY OPPOSE him. But where he needs my support in matters of civil responsibility, national security and other issues that are appropriately the responsibility of the Federal government, I will support him. And no matter what your political affiliation is, YOU SHOULD TOO. He is OUR President.
