Democratic President and Congress

I think that the effects of a democratic president and a democratic congress will be dramatic. I think that they will be great also. Of course I will naturally think this because I am a democrat. Also, Bush (a republican) has been president long enough and it is about time a democrat is president again. With both congress and the president being democratic that is even better. This country under President Bush has been a mess. We have engaged in a war that was not even necessary. We have spent way too much money on a war that was not even necessary. The economy is worst than it has ever been since the great depression. All of this took place with a republican president. Hopefully, all of this will change with a democratic president (and congress). When the president and majority of congress are of the same party, (most of the time) they can get a lot more accomplished than if there is divided government. To go along with this, it seems as though Barack Obama is a very active president and will get the job done. I know that it is a little early to say this because he has not even became president yet. However, I can conclude that he will “get the job done” just by how he carries himself and by how he has acted these past few days. It has only been a few days since he was elected to be the next president of the United States and he is already appointing (or trying to appoint) people to different position in the new government that will be formed when he is president. That is very good. If he is doing this much now, just imagine how much he will do and (try to) accomplish when he is president. I am so happy that he won the election between him and John McCain. For one thing, he black. This is great for America as a whole and shows that the United States has come a long way since the days of slavery and is still growing. It is also good for blacks also. Hopefully, this will help blacks out and cause them to be better looked upon in society. If McCain became president, like Obama kept saying, it would be “eight more years of Bush’s failed policies” because “McCain voted with Bush ninety percent of the time.” He calls himself a maverick, but I do not see anything that resembles a maverick by his voting history, which coincides with Bush’s. Hopefully a democratic congress and a democratic president will bring about the needed change that needs to take place in the United States, and it is more likely to happen because their will not be a divide government. I know that this change may take some time, but I am confident that they will be able to work things out. I really do hope they do because I do not think that some people can continue to live the way in which they are living now for a long time.
