I used to be a die-hard Republican (along with my father and grandfather) until Bush came along. The Bush administration was so corrupt and incompetent that I became ashamed to tell people I was a Republican even though I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. In the last election I voted for McCain, but now that Obama has been elected, I see it as our duty as Americans to support our president. I didn't totally agree with the war in Vietnam either, but when I was called to serve, I joined the Marine Corps to serve my country. I think all the bad-mouth aimed at our president as he tries to help less fortunate Americans with a health-care program is very bad, not only for how it portrays us Republicans, but also bad for the USA as it undermines the president, who from what I've seen so far, is head and shoulders abouve Bush in intellect, judgement, and temperament. Americans have always joined to together to defeat the enemy, but Obama is NOT the enemy. Instead, the enemy are those people who are paying Americans to bad-mouth Obama...THEY ARE THE REAL ENEMY !
