CHANGE...

Many of us including myself worried about the outcome of the election and exactly what it was going to do for our country. Fortunately there is light at the end of the tunnel. Things started to unravel themselves just a short time after the elections.

A couple weeks ago I learned that Obama would keep implementing the Bush tax policies until 2010 when they will set to expire. What this means is that the ideology of taking from hardworking individuals the money they earned would not be taken by the government who would "re-distribute" as they saw fit (as if they don't do that enough already).

Then I also learned Defense Secretary Gates was going to be re-appointed. Since Gates has served as Defense Secretary for the Bush administration and carried out the Bush policies for the past 2 years, many far left individuals are shocked at Barrack Obama's decision to keep him in position.

Below is a link to a very intersting article by Politico.com, they have noticed the center/almost right position Barrack Obama has taken to carry out his administration and how that has many liberals feeling deserted.

It's interesting how things can CHANGE so much from elections to only a month later. Am I as sorry that Barrack Obama was elected then as I am now? Not really, in fact I'm somewhat glad that he's taken some of these positions that he has. It gives me something to look forward to for the next 4 years.
