What was done in the dark all these years has finally come into the light and its not pretty. The loss of jobs, home foreclosures and economic crises have not screamed that a change was needed and necessary for all Americans. Do you honestly want 4 more years of our hard work, sweat and tears going down the toilet? How much more were you actually willing to lose? America spoke and it was decided. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but please let's agree to disagree and stop all the name calling and hatred spewing. Once sworn in, President Obama has a tough job before him to clean up the mess that has been left at his feet. I don't know about you, but I want something to show for my hard work and sacrifices I've made throughout my life for the benefit of my children, grandchildren and their children to come.

A Former Army Brat, Former Army wife, Mother & Mother-in-Law of Soldiers who have already put in 2-tours to Iraq (and the war isn't over yet), who can finally say for the 1st time in her life she is Proud to Be An American
