I had a conversation with my friends dad the other day and I thought what he had to say was very interesting. We got into a discussion about the election. We were speaking about how some people are not happy that Obama was elected and how they think he will not be capable of leading this country. My friend's dad told me openly that he voted for McCain and thought he would have been a better leader. I asked him if he was upset about the outcome. He responded by saying "So what. So I wanted McCain to win and he didn't, but now I've got to be a patriotic American. I have to support our president even if it isnt the man i voted for. He is our leader." I thought this was very interesting considering the fact that many people who don't support certain politicians campaign against them. Sure, many people out there who voted for McCain may be upset that he was not ellected, but does that give people the right to not support Obama? Is it unpatriotic to express negative thoughts towards our new president? Should the people who did not vote him into office silence their negative voices and support him even if they dont believe in some of the things he does?

I think that it is unpatriotic to express negative thoughts towards our countries new president. People might disagree with his stands on certain issues, but if our country wants to change to become a better nation and turn around the current crises that are going on today we need to come together. The people should silence their negative voices and support him even if they do not believe in some of the things he does. I think that those who do not support Obama should follow the example of your friend’s dad and say, "So what. So I wanted McCain to win and he didn't, but now I've got to be a patriotic American. I have to support our president even if it isn’t the man I voted for. He is our leader."
