Goodbye Bush; Hello Obama

Tonight after watching the Presidential Farewell Address, it made me think about how tough of a time George Bush had as President. Not only was he at an early start when 9/11 occurred, but there have been many economic downfalls in his time. Many blame him for this; I personally disagree. We must think in the perspective that God allows things to happen in His mind of what is best. Because He truly knows best. And in that He gives us the gift of free will and choice, and that is where we screw up. So maybe there is a reason that all of this happened. Indeed there were more deaths during the American Civil War than this one we are in by far, so why did Bush receive more criticism than encouragement? That is why I feel that - although I was for McCain - Obama does deserve love from the citizens and a supported term.

And in the end, think that it is God's will to allow Obama to be President. So in this year, as Bush leaves and Obama takes office, let us pray for our nation, President and government that God will give us guidance and that His plans will be beneficial to the American society and our world and its corruption. And in hope that we can provide accountability and kindness to the ones against us, and maybe - just maybe - there doesn't have to be all of these conflicts. Maybe we the American citizens - or wherever you are in the world - can spiritually, emotionally, mentally and in action, give Obama our trust and support as he will be taking on the most difficult job in the country. God bless Obama, Bush and America!
