I wish you had won the election. We need a man with military experience to keep our people safe and confident that another 911 or worse will NOT occur. I am a product of the navy- my father was a retired officer and my brother served in Desert storm I am very proud of both of them as well as of you for standing up to the american people's ignorance on issues of war and homeland security. God Bless all of our brother and sisters in Afghanistan and Iraq and others stationed at the ready around the world to take out terrorism and violence against the human race. We are all one and need to co-exist in this omni-present age of dangerous times. I was and still am a supporter of the Bush Administration I feel that having his father as his predecesor was a learning experience to walking into that position as Commander in Chief and George W. did a great job. I can appreciate the true patriot and humanitarian he is. You are also a great man with alot of power I was praying all through out the election that you would be my president and I would have been proud to stand behind you in that endeavor. Thank you lets hope for a fast 4 years and get our country back on track. Clinton left a big mess for both administrations and there were many hurdles to climb so if thinking that bringing aboard an inexperienced (not to say uneducated because I think Mr. Obama is a very smart man and I am sure he's a nice guy and has a lovely family) individual to keep us sleeping safely at night is the right thing to do then I have to disagree, I think he will be taken advantage of and people will see him as inexperienced around the globe. Good luck and thanks for running I really mean that. I wish you were our new President Elect. What a shame. Our country is in for a reckoning. Best of everything, you are a real patriot and would have served our country well.
