But there are some who anticipate nothing but bad things in the next four years. It's too bad that they choose not to join in the feelings of most Americans. How sad that everyone won't share in the uplifting emotions of this time.
In almost all respects--fiscal, social, domestic and international, the new President will begin his term with problems on every front that are unprecedented. Bad things have already happened. He has a huge and complicated agenda, far moreso than anything anticipated during the campaign.
The new President will need the support, confidence, prayers and patience of all Americans that he and his team make the right decisions in the right sequence to make things better for all of us. He has mine.
There will be plenty of time in two or three years to begin to determine what the plans and programs of the new administration are working. Plenty of time to determine whether our confidence has been fulfilled.

1. Your implication that we who opposed President Elect Obama are hoping for the worse is, at best, partisan and speaks to what others say on here and else where that with you folks, you either must adore or butt out
In addition, listening to news broadcasts concerning the President elect is anything but objective !
2. To imply with your "He has mine" comment that we who opposed his election do not pray for the President elect is somewhat....cant think of the word but I find it offense. Do not judge me or others with your partisan views...it is just not fair.
3. I cannot understand and never will understand how it became the logic that if we do not adore we are against the President of the United States....I never heard, read or heard that implied anywhere.....why do you keep insuation that we, who opposed his election, are somehow second class people ?
Our current President has been under PERSONAL, not policy, attack for the last 5 years...I do not hear anyone attacking the President Elect on a personal level, but you expect everyone to stand tall and not disagree with anything he says.....explain why ?
