First, congratulations to Obama for his historic win....
and that in and of itself is a wonderful thing.
That being said...I still have concern for the country. Obama may be POTUS; he may be John McCain's President, but he is not my President yet. I don't trust him. He has to earn that trust. Only time will tell how far to the left he will lead this country. Only time will tell how far into socialism he will take us. Thank God I think we retained enough senators on the Republican side to keep them somewhat in check, if they are willing to do so.
I will not be trying to drag his presidency down. I will check in from time to time as we see how his Presidency unfolds. Is he going to govern like his books (very liberal), like his past (very liberal, Marxist socialist), or is he going to govern more from the middle, like he has run his campaign. Who knwos? How can we know? He changed his story depending on who he was talking to (i.e., in Pennsylvania and in San Francisco). Now that the campaign is over, will the real Barack Obama please step forward?
When he does...that will determine whether or not he is "my" President.
All that being said...I sincerely hope he governs more like the guy who talked in Pennsylvania vs the guy that talked in San Francisco. I mourn the millions of babies who will die during his tenure. I wish he was as concerned about them as he is about "living" Americans.
In closing...congratulations to the Obama supporters on this board. I hope you hold his feet to the fire...I certainly intend to.

Obama Scores Victory of Historic Proportions.
Twenty-four days into his presidency, Barack Obama recorded last night a legislative achievement of the sort that few of his predecessors achieved at any point in their tenure.
In size and scope, there is almost nothing in history to rival the economic stimulus legislation that Obama shepherded through Congress in just over three weeks. And the result -- produced largely without Republican participation -- was remarkably similar to the terms Obama's team outlined even before he was inaugurated: a package of tax cuts and spending totaling about $775 billion.
Read it and weep, pubs!
