Results of the Election

After many long hard months, weeks, and days of campaigning, the election is finally over. Barack Obama, our new president. It's hard to not feel disappointed myself. I was a strong McCain supporter who believed in almost everything that he believed in. It's hard not to feel like all my support and all my time spent voting and debating was a waste of time. But that is the fun of politics. Someone always has to lose, as well as their supporters. So like McCain said after the election results were in, we must now all come together and support our president. At first, it was impossible for me to not be extremely upset. However, after watching McCain's speech, after hearing how he accepted the loss and now planned on supporting his new president in every step that he takes, I realize i must now respect the fact that Obama is my new president. I must accept the changes that he is going to make, and embrace them. It is not difficult for me to accept new and different things. I have never been a person that is against change. But, after all this hard work on many many peoples parts, it's difficult to not be a little disappointed. Obama now has a hard and rough road in front of him. He has taken over a country that has a lot of expectations from him. Hopefully he can live up to everything that he has promised.
