Do you know what you have done?

I would really like to know whether those who supported and voted for Sen. Barack Obama ever considered the full ramifications of him being elected? 

Did you realize that your vote only served to embolden Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank and the rest of the liberal, left serving in Congress as they push forth their liberal agenda? I honestly do not
believe that the majority of those who voted for Obama really embrace the goals of the liberal left or are willing to pay the price to achieve those goals. The cultural and political divide within this country,
exacerbated by the apparent lack of common decency and respect, will only widen.

Did you not learn anything from Carter election, where Carter was able to defeat Ford because of the blind anger that existed toward Nixon?  Contrary to how people feel about Bush, the Carter
administration was the worst in our nation’s history. We are still paying for misdeeds of the Carter administration and it forever weakened our status in the world. 

I sincerely hope I am wrong here, but did you ever consider the predicament the election of Obama puts Israeli in and how it will impact Middle East policies? 

I believe that in order to preserve their nation and their very lives, the Israelis will now be forced to launch an attack on Iran, to take out those nuclear facilities. They will do so, out of fear that an Obama
administration will do nothing to stop Iran.

If this does happen, it will thrust America into the middle of the quagmire. Could this be what Biden was referring too when he said Obama would be tested?

Yes, there will be change; I just hope that all of you who voted for Obama understand that there may be a very high cost associated with that vote for change. 

Of course, I pray I am wrong.
