Obama Citizenship

A Government in Transition

By Phil

Barack Hussein Obama is now officially America’s 44th President. This means that despite many eligibility challenges, the onus is now on him to successfully execute his duties in keeping this nation safe and secure. It’s also time to say “thank you” to President Bush.

Chris at AmericasRight.com talks about that no matter what happens to America with President Obama, the ebb and flow of events affects us all. Leon at RedState.com opines on the presidency as well, wishing that it would succeed on matters of national security but fail in the sense that morality is taking a beating in the nation (and I think that’s an excellent point as well).

To me, what I found absolutely heartening about today was the peaceful transition of power (RedState.com discusses exactly why we are unique at accomplishing this among historical civilizations). And, for the moment, I congratulate President Obama on his day in DC.

However, very shortly, the real business begins, and as part of a blogosphere of loyal opposition (true to the American system of government), it’s now time to hold him accountable.

First, he is going to have to deal with Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We will have to watch him on abortion policy. And even his VP might continue to get him into potential legal problems. In fact, there’s been talk about repealing the 22 Amendment and even tracking firearm use.

The right wing of the nation will continue on, and we will continue producing constructive dialog and holding the majority to account.
