I received a comment asking where a reader could find information about a specific blog. If you want to read more about each topic, search online for the topic and which candidate you would like to read about. (For example: McCain’s views on healthcare). All my information I found online so you should be able to also. Thanks and good luck.

More changes

Obama has chosen former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to head a new White House panel. Obama believes he will help create jobs and bring stability to the ailing financial system. So many changes are being made in our government. We have yet to see all of the changes President-elect Obama makes in our government and in our country. In time we will see if the changes are for the better of our country or not. All we can do now is hope for the best.

Obama Appoints Richardson

Barack Obama appointed Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, to be the commerce secretary. Along with being the governor of New Mexico, Richardson was the United Nations ambassador and energy secretary durning Bill Clinton’s administration. He is serving his second term as governor of New Mexico. He has also served seven terms in the House of Representatives and two tours of duty in the cabinet. He has a very extensive record and has led Americans for a very long time so he should be able to handle his new position well.

New Secretary of State

President elect Obama announced that Hillary Clinton will be the new Secretary of State under President Obama. He plans on leaving the Secretary of Defense the same as would President Bush has. Robert Gates will remain Secretary of Defense. It is crazy that Obama is not in office yet and still making some changes. Apparently the stock market has even gone up since Obama was elected since he tried to boost confidence into investors. We still have to wait and see the many more changes Obama makes in this country.

Waiting for Change

shelbyjay — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:55:10 +0000

Now that elections are over the debates and controversy has died down. There are no more presidential debates to watch or pick who is best to vote for. All of that is behind us. Now we just have to wait and see the changes President Obama makes in this country. Hopefully he will put alot of thought into every action he takes so that everything goes to better our country. I fear that Obama will pull all or our soldiers out of Iraq and Afghanistan too soon and ruin what we have been working so hard to accomplish. If we withdraw from the Middle East to soon, what will keep them from attacking us over here? Wouldn’t we rather fight over there and keep our homeland safe? I know fatalities are occuring over there and in places it is a terrible situation to be in but every one of the men and women fighting for our freedom signed up for it and are gladly serving our country.

Safety of Obama

In May of 2007, Obama was granted 24-hour Secret Service protection. This was only a few months after he started campaining. Many people have already been arrested for planning to kill Obama. I fear attempts to murder Obama are not going to end. Eventhough he has Secret Service protection, there are many people that feel like they have nothing to lose so why not attempt to murder him. It is pretty sad that Obama had to be inside a bullet-proof box the night he was elected as president to keep from possibly being assasinated. Sadly to say, Obama and his family are always in danger and must have Secret Service around.

My opinion

shelbyjay — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:28:43 +0000

Throughout this blog process I never admitted who I was voting for/voted for. I tried to be as fair as possible when discussing both candidates but at times I am sure I failed at keeping my thoughts out of my writing. After receiving a comment to my last blog I realized what I wanted to talk about in this blog. I, in fact, voted for McCain but am willing to see what President Obama has planned for our country. I am a little worried and hesitant since Obama is all about change and I do not like change. All we can do is wait and see what happens though, we have no choice now and why complain about what is out of your hands? Like the comment said, “All we can hope for is that he gets a good group of people to show the way,and pray he will listen.”

History in the making

shelbyjay — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:32:13 +0000

President Obama is America’s first black president. Many people who did not support him still see this as a great moment in American history. It is neat that we got to be part of such a huge event in American history. Most people are setting aside all differences and just seeing this as an important part of history. There are tons of people that are disappointed in the outcome of the election but it is too late to do anything about it now. On the other hand many Americans are thrilled about the outcome and would not want it any other way.

President

Well it’s official, Barak Obama won the election. We now have a new president. All of the voting, campaining and debates are over with. Now we just get to wait and see what changes Obama makes in the United States. Will he follow up all of his policies? What will he change first? I’m anxious to see what happens now.
