My mother and step father voted for Obama, They are both college professors and quite left wing. I have found that while I stand firmly to the far right of Obama, it doesnt mean that I cannot look past differences and still have close friends and family that support him and his policies. It is pretty frusterating to see the country that I fought for personally go to what seems like "hell in a hand basket", but as Kathe put it, we are called to pray and trust that God knows what He is doing.
