I have to say I am worried about the outcome of this coming election, and I can’t imagine I am alone. I wish it was already done and over with so we would know what to expect for the future of America. But it’s not and we still have to hear both sides bashing one another and we have to hear about 101 different polls predicting who knows what. Frankly I am done with it all! All this election has been successful at is breaking America down further. The war between Republicans and Democrats is worse then ever and now this political hate has spewed over into the American way of life. People are afraid of an assassination and even that their vote will be “lost” because of their skin color. I am sick and tired of all this unnecessary hate, there is already enough to go around three times over so stop! All I hope is that whoever wins actually fulfills what they have promised and doesn’t turn out to be a complete liar like most who have come before them. The American people deserve a good leader who will help them with things that actually matter, not just issues that promote themselves or their party. If something doesn’t change fast in the government, America will no longer be great. Let’s make positive changes to ensure that the America we know is great is still there for future generations. So… America get your butts off the couch, go vote, and pray for the best because we need a miracle.
Peace

I completely agree with you on this subject! I must say that I am so happy that this election is now done and over with. Even though I must say I was not going to be happy with either one of the candidates that were running. I too felt that this election did nothing but tear down America even more then what it was! We had enough to deal with two different parties running. The democrats will always disagree with the republicans, but when this election threw a curve ball into the equation then not only did we disagree with political values but now we have to deal with race on an even bigger playing field then we had already been playing! I over some of my employees talking the night of the election and it really disturbed me! One of them stated they really wanted Obama to when but it would be such a same because they felt by voting for him they were contributing to Obama losing his life. I was so sick of hearing about this election that I had to stop all of my employees from talking about any politics in the office! Now that it is over its not any better though. This election will for ever go down into history as not only as the election that we got our first African American president but also the election that helped destroy the American people, in such a way that even the drunk people at two O’ clock in the morning felt the need to fight over Obama and McCain!
We all realize that the world we live in has become sort of a fragile state. Wall Street displays this almost everyday losing or gaining hundreds of points. This is not a time to panic, this is a time where our leaders need to stand tall and put policy in place that makes sense.
In Gabby Dollinger's post, "Stop Already" she expresses that our country is in a troubled state and needs help. She claims that the election has stirred up racial tensions, possible assassination attempts, and increased hatred. The blog "Stop Already" seems like an emotional post, but I was not able to find a lot of info to back up the claims of tension, assassination attempts, and increased hatred. I do however believe that tough economical times can certainly take a toll on people.
Although there needs to be changes made I am not as alarmed as Gabby. Through out the history of our country we have prevailed and bounced back from tough economical times.
Whether the oil crisis in the 70's combined with the Vietnam war or the dot.com bubble bursting, 9/11 attacks, and corporate scandals in 2000/2001 this country is not new to recession.
A recession is defined as contraction phase of the business cycle or a period of reduced economic activity. Like I stated before recessions are not new to our country and have been around since the existence of civilized society. Since our nations birth we have experienced more than 10 recessions. By using all the weapons in our arsenal, like the bailouts, interest rate cuts, and new legislation we will prevail.
In Gabby's blog she had stated the war between the parties was tearing down the country. I think the candidates may have been tearing down each other, but I don't believe that they were tearing down the country. Each party has it own beliefs and agendas. I believe over the past 25 years the gap between Republicans and Democrats has lessened. Gabby stated she wanted someone who would get into office and help the people. I feel the same way. I don't care if they are white, black, republican, or democrat. They need to work for the good of the country and its people. I think that politics as a whole is realizing this and we are beginning to see less of the left or right.
It is important to view a situation in its entirety. We can use lessons of the past to guide us in our current state. We have had economic recessions in the past and have also had earth shattering elections. I believe as citizens we should do everything in our power to aid the country. We should not panic, after all it took time for us side into our current state and will take additional time to rebuild.
