After the Votes are Tallied

We are just one week away from electing a new president.  It could be John McCain or it could be Barack Obama.  No matter who wins, there will be people who are going to be angry or worried.  These are difficult times and our next leader is going to need the support of all Americans if we are to survive this largest ordeal and come out on top.  according to the Seattle Times. our next president will be facing a plethora of problems, among which are the pressing issues of global warming, energy addiction and a tanked economy.  According to Yahoo News! many people will be loosing jobs and the housing market hasn’t hit bottom yet and probably won’t for at least two more years.  Who really knows what will happen in the financial market?  I hope that once this election is over, we set aside our differences and work together to focus on what needs to be done.  After all, we the people, came from immigrant stock and we know how to roll up our sleeves and get the dirty work done.  And that’s what this country needs right now - people who are going to work to get us back on track.  That means farmers and business people,  mothers and educators, laborers and scientists, engineers and techies, and all others; we all need to set aside our differences and think of the common good.  What are you going to do to help turn this country around?
