New Presidential Regime

So Barack Obama won. That's pretty cool. And historic. Obama, I must say, is a very charismatic guy and, while he might not get everything he promised done during his presidency (people forget that congress has their own part in government, too, not just the president), he's very idealistic and will at least try.

A lot of people are quite mad at the election results. Though it really is kind of stupid. I mean, I'm not a democrat--not really--but I know that it's best that a democratic president was elected. The government goes through a very healthy cycle of democrat-republican. And this cycle keeps us in balance. The Republicans believe in freer markets, thus encouraging growth for entrepreneurs. This, however, can also cause a lot of problems if allowed to go on unchecked (as with now, especially if the president before did not properly address the economy). And then there are the Democrats, who take a more socialist, government-involved approach. This seems bad but can be good. Whereas Republicans open up the market (for good and bad), Democrats close it up a bit (again, for good and bad). Now is a time for Democrats. We need to patch up this economy of ours and the best way is to put a bit more government control. Now, as I said, I am not a democrat, so when the election of 2016 rolls around (i believe in the two-term policy. four years is just too little time), I will support Republicans and their call for more open markets. But for now we need a bit of regulation.

Please do not kill me for my opinions; I simply like the economy.
