President Obama and My Hopes

I watched with joy the inauguration of our newest president. I can say the joy is not from knowing his desires for our country but for all those who thought becoming president was impossible.

Here are my hopes for the next 100 days:

  • That the Republican party will soon embrace all races and hear what they are saying
  • That the Democratic party will stop looking down on everyone as if they were really that high and mighty
  • That the Democratic party would stop being intolerant
  • That President Obama listens to the counsel of those wanting the FairTax
  • That President Obama will truly stand up for the principles our nation was founded upon - in Christ
  • That President Obama would accept the principles of the Pickens Plan
  • That President Obama would listen to the AMA and work with them to lower our insurance rates and find a better way for people to pay for their own insurance
  • That President Obama would remember Christ as His Savior and govern in a manner that reflects the moral standings of our nation
  • That President Obama will not give in to the homosexual agenda
  • That our government will put education back into the hands of the people at the local level
I could go on. If you have read this blog, you know that I strongly support the FairTax, the Pickens Plan, and the AMA's attempt to help everyone get medical coverage.

I have spoken a little about education. I just want to mention that we cannot compare ourselves to nations who have smaller populations as if they had answers for us. We are a large and diverse nation. We have many differing religious and moral views. You cannot put education in the hands of our incompetent federal government and expect everyone to look the same.

Education needs to be put back into the hands of the local population, at most with a set of standards. It must be privatized or at least allow parents to use funding to send their children to which ever school they choose (even if it is a Christian school).

Anyway, that is my hope list for the next 100 days.
