I think we all need to keep in mind that yes, this historic election is going to make the worst of the racists show their true colors, but that there were still enough people to vote for Obama to show that it was not the majority of the people in the United States.

As for the socialist type comments, I think those feelings are pretty equivalent to how some of us felt when Bush was elected. Being afraid that the candidate you didn't support will really screw things up is not an uncommon feeling.

I am not of the mind that we have to support the President just because he is the President. We do not have a KGB seeking out people who disagree with the government. We have freedom of speech. The people who are crying "Socialist" will be proven wrong in 4 years when we still have a capitalist society.
