Senator Obama made history today as the first black man to win the White house and thus becoming the next president of the United States. and though i did not support him for President, i congratulate him on this historic moment in the nation's history.
In choosing Obama as the 44th president, the nation took a historic leap beyond its legacy of slavery and toward healing racial tensions just four decades after the tumultuous Civil Rights movement.
But the hard part is still ahead of us, As the 44th president, Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession, and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.
Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months.
withdrawing the troops from Iraq and bringing them home in defeat when victory is just in sight is the main reason i voted against him. time and time again i have said that i was not in favor of the war in Iraq, but now that we are there we have to win the war and bring our young men and women who have pay so much in service to their country home victorious.
John McCain was a great man and i am proud to have supported him, but now the election is over and i hope for the sake of our great country, we will unite and do what is right for the benefit of the nation. God bless America, and God bless the the New President.

What do you consider defeat and what more of a victory are you asking for?
Iraq has already given America a date to start pulling our troops out of Iraq and strategically concentrating on Afghanistan, where our troops should have been in the first place.
