Dear Santa,
Can you go to the children that are hungry and give them some toys and make a Merry Christmas to them. Guess what I want for Christmas. My two front teeth.
I will leave ou some cookies!
Love,

He's MY President.
If you're following this blog you probably don't have much doubt that President Elect Obama wasn't my first choice for commander in chief. That having been said, let me tell you where I stand now that the election is over.
President Elect Obama is MY president now. He wasn't my first choice (but then McCain was my next to last pick from the Republican side of the ticket - I wrote in Romney in the general election). During the election the people of my conutry voiced their decision.
When I was a manager at EDS I used to tell my people that there is a time to huddle and a time to play. During the huddle I encouraged folks to voice opposition to the plan, argue about what is wrong and why we shouldn't do it. I liked to surround myself with folks who were opinionated and agressive. I must admit, we had some fairly rowdy businesses meetings.
Then, once a decision was made we moved from the "huddle" mode to the "play" mode and I would expect my team to all go with the decision, regardless of how they felt about it during the huddle. You can't succeed when everyone is running a different play. You just can't.
So the election is over and the play has been called. I spoke agressively against him during the campaigns but that was the huddle.
I just want to go on the record and say Barack Obama is MY Pesident now. I will pray for his well being and for God to influence him and bless us through him during the next four years.
I hope you will join me.
