The election is behind us. As I have seen written several places, now comes the hard part for Obama. Up until now he only had a campaign to win, now he has a country to lead.

It is my belief that he will lead it poorly. In fact, I think one of his lasting accomplishments during his four years in office will be to make the Carter presidency look better.

For better or worse he will be America’s president, which means he will be my president. I am sure that I will disagree with nearly everything he does. Still, I respect the office and I will strive to show that respect to the office holder. A pet peeve of mine is the bad habit that has developed over the past years that doesn’t recognize that respect. It will be my goal, here and in private, to refer to Barack Obama as President Obama once he has taken the oath of office. Not as a sign of agreement, but as a show of the high esteem I have for the office of President.

That being said, I will use my small platform to speak out against those things that I will inevitably disagree with. I will fight for what I believe to be right. And after what is bound to be an historically short pause I will fight to help conservative men and women become elected. Twenty-four months of President Obama working with the expanded majorities in Congress could make that easy.

Given that he is still Senator Obama, that is how I refer to him; I always use the honorific. There are many times I use the civilian honorifics of Mr or Mrs or Miss, simply to vary my prose a bit.

I do refuse to use the abomination “Ms.”
