Why I am glad that Obama beat McCain

Lets face it, the economy stopped being a bipartisan issue since the 2000 election. Every presidential candidate since has espoused a big government/ high spending economic strategy. Social issues are what we really voted for and the economy continued to slide further “left.” Therefore, we elected a socially conservative and economically liberal president for two terms. This has allowed for a very peculiar political climate. The democrats were able to blame the conservatives for the economic situation that had arisen from their own liberal policies that conservatives supported. The Democrats really couldn’t ask for a more perfect set-up.
But really, How much differently do you think McCain would be handling the economic situation we’re facing? Not much. A little, but not much. McCain, like Bush, is socially conservative and economically liberal/middle. This is why I’m glad Obama is in charge. At least this time, as this country spirals further and further into socialism, the liberals won’t be able to blame conservatives. They’ll try, I’m sure. But, in four years when the idiot masses are screaming for “Change” once again, maybe this time they’ll seek to actually change what’s wrong rather than everything. I know that is too much to ask. So really, I’m just relieved that conservativism may actually get the same blind acceptance that Obama’s socialism received last election. Maybe this time the Republicans will run an actual conservative. We’ll see.
