Barack Hussein Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United States of America.

Mr. Obama led his party in a decisive sweep of Congress, putting Democrats in control of both the House and the Senate for the first time since 1995, when Bill Clinton was president.

Mr. McCain called Mr. Obama to congratulate him and said, “We’ve come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation’s reputation. I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us. I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president and I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair in our present difficulties but to believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit”.

After which Mr. Obama announced to cheering crowds, “I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead”.

In addition to the unresolved issues of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, N. Korea and many other places the president-elect and his expanded Democratic majority now face the daunting task of governing the country through one of the most difficult economic periods in its history and we wish them well.

“Because of what we did on this day, in this election, in this defining moment, change has come to America,” Obama told 125,000 supporters gathered in Chicago’s Grant Park to celebrate his victory and ended with “Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America”.

This site continuously urged caution with regard to Mr. Obama because of his connections with Jihadist and communist groups and because so much of his past was intentionally concealed, but we congratulate him on his victory and hope his promised changes will make the entire world a better place.

An article that I read yesterday sent a cold shiver down my spine …

Is Obama Secretly Sensible?

It was similar in vein to something that I wrote earlier in the month entitled “The World Will Be Very Different In 2009” but it caused me to ponder what Obama really wants and what changes he really has in mind for America.

I went to bed thinking about his about his 30 minute infomercial that aired across network and cable television last night and woke up believing that I finally understood what Obama really wants.

He doesn’t want to be just another President of the United States and he really does want to bring about enormous changes!

If elected, he would want to rein like Putin!

Very few Americans understand what life under a Putin like regime would be like but members of the “New Party” that helped Obama and others to rise through the political ranks know exactly what it means and they have worked for years to bring about its implementation.
If Obama is elected we can envisage as many changes as possible being made as quickly as possible to ensure that the United States would effectively have a one party system, and many of those changes are already being planned for as written about in The Fairness Doctrine.

Russia supposedly has Democracy and most Russians will tell you that they have one, but did the power behind the throne change when Dmitry Medvedev was elected last March?

In 1787 a Scottish professor by the name of Alexander Fraser Tyler wrote about the fall of the ‘Athenian Republic’ which occurred more than 2000 years ago.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith
From spiritual faith to great courage
From courage to liberty
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to complacency
From complacency to apathy
From apathy to dependence
From dependence back again into bondage”.

Do his words signal the end of a cycle for America?
