Last night was historic, I will give you that.

Unfortunately though I couldn't see myself supporting Obama and his policies of wanting to expand the federal government and its control in Washington, D.C. The Constitution and the founders of this country never wanted a huge federal government as can be seen by their writings and even by the Constitution itself.

The Constitution of the United States plainly states:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

That is often overlooked, but it does mean that the power of the government should rely in the states and not with the federal government. If a state lets say decided to make a law lets say that made gay marriage illegal or even legal, that is their decision to make, not the federal government to force on every state. Voters of that individual state according to the Constitution should be able to make that decision on their own.

I think as a nation we have gotten way too far away from the founding principles of the Constitution. Unfortunately the candidate that I supported, Ron Paul, wasn't able to make it through to the election. Ron Paul is all about restoring what the constitution set forth... freedom from a bunch of old men sitting in Washington, D.C.
