The Fearmongering of Certain Republicans

The election is over. The Republicans lost. You live in country where there is a democratic process and the people choose the President. If you can't deal with it, leave. Most of us Democrats didn't like it when Bush was elected...but we dealt with it. And we didn't leave our country because we didn't have the money...(just kidding). We stayed here because we love our nation.I am really concerned about the people who are panicking about the election of Obama. The man has not even taken office yet! And, even when he does, this government is a system of checks and balances. One branch cannot go and do something crazy (not that I expect that, anyway); the other two branches can stop it. Let me be a little honest here: When September 11 happened, I was initially impressed by Bush's handling of the situation. I actually thought to myself, "Well, maybe it won't be so bad after all." Seven years later, I know I was wrong. Even though I have not liked Bush for a long time, I have NEVER said that he is NOT MY PRESIDENT. Whether I liked it or not, he was and if, for instance, I ever met him - I would grant him the respect due his position.BUT the difference between me and the folks who are already calling for Obama's impeachment is that I ALREADY GAVE Bush a chance. I have seen the results of the policies and actions of his administration....the wars, the bank crisis, the divisiveness. I have seen my country become more hated and less respected over the last eight years...and it bothers me.If people are truly believers in what the founders of this nation wanted, they should at least give Obama the chance to get in office. You DO NOT know what policies he is going to make. You DO NOT know what new challenges lay ahead. You DO NOT know what the first "100 days" will bring. So, for the sake of unity, give Obama the chance to show what he is made of. If he starts doing things that you don't agree with, FINE...complain all you want. But he is STILL YOUR PRESIDENT-ELECT and he deserves respect.
