What Was America Thinking?

The article I read is called, “The Obama Transition: What Will Change Look Like?” It was about how people are worried about Obama switching to President in a bad, almost depression like, time. The article also talked about how they have a lot of things planned to make the smooth go as possible. I don’t blame the people who are worried at all. In fact I am as well. In this time of desperation we can’t afford to have things go wrong during the transition. Especially with a leader with close to no experience, and have him face an extremely important question. I am still in aw about how this country voted for a candidate with no experience and risk making these problems in country even worse. For example, the price of living rising, war, and stocks are falling. If it were up to me I would chose the candidate with more experience, because there would be a better chance of him choosing the right option to help our country. One of my problems with Obama is how he wants to pull the troops out of the war. Now I am all for the least amount of casualties, but I think we need to finish what we started, and not just give up. If we pull out now, people will think that we are weak and try to take advantage of us. My guess is if that happens we will have more terrorist attacks and lose the same amount even more people than we are losing now, but even more tragically. There will also be a lot of building or cities wreaked, and it will cost a lot to replace them, which is something we can’t afford.
