Obama The Commander in Chief

Well the election is over and Obama has won. Now it was not the land slide victory predicted but it is still a win for the dems none the less. I have to admit I was saddened, disheartened and fearful for the future of this nation and my loved ones an friends. After all the commiserating I did last night. I have picked myself up and I will fight for the future my constitution promised would be available to me if I worked hard enough for it.

Don't get me wrong I had to listen to my brother crowing on the phone in joy that big business was going to finally get their come uppens. Because it is their greed that has placed this nation in the situation it is in today. Truth is it is the greed and power plays of our elected officials that has put this nation in the situation it is in. Unfortunately it is sad my brother was feeling joy while my opportunities for employment using the degree I worked so hard to get is now in jeopardy. He wanted me to blame big business and their unwillingness to pay higher taxes and employ me for my current situation on the unemployment line. I'm sorry I can not blame them for not wanting to pay more to the government and sacrifice me the colateral damage. Because the government is now going to try and line its pockets and alleviate the debt it created. Through faulty business practices encouraged by the government.

Now we have Obama the radical about to run this country and I have to say I am far from proud at his accomplishment. I can not be proud of a man that would destroy the dream Dr. King had for my fellow black americans. The dream was not to have some one handed an opportunity but to have the road made clear to go out and seek the dream. I look at my own family and no matter what their opinion is on Obama becoming our new president. They were not handed a dream but taking from another. Instead they followed the hard work ethic of my grandparents and made their own dreams come true. Their children have followed the same path. They are not your stereotypical black people. They are professionals making salaries that put them in the range to be apart of the tax increase. Apart of the group that will be paying out of pocket for anothers dream to be achieved.

Granted I am a struggling 30 something finding my way and working to achieve my own American Dream. It is unfortunate that I am going to be entering the fight of my life. Yes may be I would benefit from the hand out that is supposed to be coming but all that will happen is it will go right back to the government. In the form of sales tax for cost of living increases that are going to come or student loan payments. So at the end of the day this money will do me know favors and truely will not bring any kind of benefit. Obama I don't want or need a hand out. I need a job and the ability to afford to live in this country. Right now the cost to just live is getting out of hand.
