i think your fears are insubstantiated. Obama is for a ban on assault weapons, nothing else. the fear comes from NRA and Fix news propaganda. if you choose to believe them then so be it. and as far as freedom of speech is concerned, im not really sure where you get that from. if anything Bush already trashed the constitution with the Patriot Act. i dont see a President who is for the legalization of marijuana or who is against wire-tapping falling into the same trap. Obama is a populist in the purist sense. but i appreciate your respect for the office, just remember to dissent IS American, it is our right.
I am afraid that certain freedoms may be at stake. Freedom of speech and the right to own firearms are the two greatest concerns that I have. Their are other things as well but really I think that Senator McCain would have been just as bad of a choice. ultimately I will still respect the office that the President holds whom ever the President is.
