People's creative imaginations...

Hello Blogging World,
As the election results continue to sink in, many McCain supporters and Obama opposers have been making comments about Obama that frankly are ungrounded. He is constantly being labeled as a socialist based on some of his policies. Many of my fellow co-eds were posting on Facebook that they were moving to Canada to escape the supposed socialism that is to ensue. There are many flaws with statements like these in themselves, but what troubles me the most is the ignorance surrounding these comments. I know personally that a lot of these people are simply regurgitating things they hear others say. Very few of the people opposing Obama actually know anything about Obama and his platform. People should not say things unless they actually do a little research to back up their opinions. However, even more disturbing than reading these posted comments is stumbling upon articles that are actually voicing the same concerns. It is no surprise that people are reading such articles and trying to make these opinions facts, but it is certainly aggravating!
