Next week we get a new President. The old one is leaving and moving to my neck of the woods. It will be very interesting to see how much of Obama's original agenda he will be able to even introduce with the economic problems we are seeing. Luckily, so far things aren't any worse than they were under Carter's last few months in office yet. (In case you think I'm bashing Carter, let me explain that I believe Nixon's wage/price freezes of 1973-4 caused the problems of the late 70s.) Hopefully, things won't get much worse than they are now.
Let's all stay involved with our Congressmen and Senators. Let them know what you think about any issue that is important to you. And don't be a name-caller or basher. If we disagree with our elected officials we need to let them know why. If we agree, we need to let them know. That's what representative democracy is all about.
Those of us who pray should also pray for wisdom for our President and those around him. He's facing a lot of problems caused by people on both sides of the aisle and will need it over the next four or eight years.
