Dear Mr. Obama

On the way home last night I heard some talk radio guy doing what he was paid to do...talk. I don't know his name. He's one for a couple of hours on Saturday night and I don't generally listen at that time. He was asking the audience what they would say to Barak Obama if they were invited to the Inauguration Ball and got 15 seconds with Obama. What would you say? His thought was "be vigilant". It got me to thinking and the best I could come up with was "don't fuck it up". We have a working republic that has lasted for over two hundred years. That in itself is amazing. Our constitution has survived despite the best efforts of power hungry politicians to mess it up. So Mister President Elect, please see if you can manage to not undo what our forefathers built for us.

It certainly doesn't help that everyone thinks it's a democracy and has no clue what makes one different from the other, though...

When the news and schools keep pushing our "democracy" and don't say jack about what a republic reaaly is, you're right.
