I can picture you, CharInOhio, just searching for places on the web to blog negatively about our new President. I agree that it must be hard to be you. Our economy crashed two weeks before the election, so yes, reality changed. What a ridiculous thing to rant against, that our President would "need the advice of LL Cool J..." Did you miss the part where Newsweek asked Americans to write letters to him? Find somewhere else to blog nonsense.

Dear President Obama,
OK, so the fanfare has come and gone, the cheering has quieted down and now you are our new president. (Article continued below...)
Adjust volume for sound
The next chapter of your life has begun. The toughest decisions you will ever have to make lie in front of you. Decisions that will require you to choose between integrity and necessity, enact the promises made to millions of people and recognize a change in perspective that will sometimes make those promises impossible to keep. Only you will be able to make those choices. But millions of others will live or die based on them. No pressure (smile).
You have shifted the cultural paradigm of America, but now you have to live up to the ideal that fostered the shift and work to ensure that the paradigm doesn't shift back. You must deliver.
I am proud as an African-American that you've accomplished so much, but I'm also crystal clear that you are the president of the entire country, of all colors, all genders and all religions that dwell here. I don't envy that position. We both know it's going to be a difficult balance to try to maintain.
