President Obama

Thanks for coming back to visit! If you would like to be a guest blogger at ArmyHousehold6.com - please let Tammy know!
Congratulations President Obama !
While you are not MY choice for President, you are none the less the next President of the United States. You are my President. While I don’t agree with your philosophy, ideals and beliefs, I will give you the respect that your position commands.
Speaking as a military wife, you are my husband’s new boss as Commander in Chief. I know that you don’t have any military experience personally and I truly hope that you surrounded yourself with the right people to do that part of your job effectively. Just remember to let the military commanders in the field make the decisions on what is best for our Armed forces not politicians, lobbyists and legislators.
I guess only time will tell. I just want you to know that my husband , several of our friends and family as well as lots of Americans’ family members are part of your team. I just hope that you do things for the right reasons in the name of the USA and protecting what we have.
I am so proud to see that our country can have such a peaceful and smooth transition from President Bush to yourself. It shows a lot about how great our country is.
Congratulations again President Obama
Great post Tammy. I just Stumbled it. And Obama wasn’t my first choice either but I still found myself kind of watching and being intrigued with his inauguration today. Maybe it’s just because this is the first year I’ve had anything to do with politics and been somewhat interested in what’s going on – I don’t know. But none the less as you said he is our President now and only time will tell.

I seen your blog on Blissfully domestic and although I rarely comment I had to comment on your blog. I am one of those who did not vote for Obama and I wanted to say thank you for your post. Although he wasn’t my choice,like you, he is my president and I will not disrespect him or his position. So many people publicly disrespect the position and man and to me that is just wrong. That looks so bad in us with other countries. Once again thank you for this post and for the service to our country your family is giving.

Tammy, very good post. I agree that though Obama was not my choice either, I believe that we must respect the office and give the man a chance. He is our President and we must stand behind him as a nation. Our prayers for him, as you said, to listen to those more experienced are what we can do in support of him.

Let me just add that I will be watching him closely to see that he is doing the right thing.
Do I trust him ? Not really but I am willing to give him a certain amount of respect unlike what the liberals did for President Bush.
Great post – I’m an Army mom rather than an Army spouse and BHO was definitely not my choice, however I too will show respect for the office, and the role as my son’s commander in chief. I have my doubts but I hope and pray he’ll do right by our awesome military men and women. And while I appreciate that Mrs. Obama wants to become involved in supporting military families, I kind of resent the insinuation that she’s the first to address that cause – so very many have quietly and tirelessly served our military families throughout the GWOT. And I just hope we can all survive the liberal financial policies!
Thanks so much for all you do as spouses to keep your families in tact at home, for giving your spouses the love and support they need to do what they do, and for the selfless sacrifices you make in your own service to our country.
And thanks for letting me vent! All the best to all of you!
I am a veteran, federal employee, and Army spouse who voted for and support President Obama. I respect the man and the position. As Marianne stated, I appreciate that Mrs. Obama wants to become involved in supporting military families…perhaps others have stepped up the the plate and QUIETLY supported military families, but I truly commend her for taking a strong stand to support, because those quiet supporters over the years my husband and I have served have been darn near silent. With repeat deployments, we need strong, active, “in your face” representation and involvement. I urge you to celebrate and support her efforts, as all she has said is that family and military is her cause. No comparison is necessary. Laura Bush focused on education as many before her spoke on the importance of literacy and education, but no one resented the fact that this was her primary platform that she worked on for eight years.
Thank you for your response. It is time for a change and I celebrate that we in the military are on our First Lady’s mind. The best to you as well.
Hello, Iam a career military spouse. My husband has served as a military officer for over 20 years. He and I both voted for President Barack Obama. I am finally happy to see a First Lady make such a definitive effort to address and support military families and families in general. One could assume that since President George Bush was the President, Commander in Chief who decided to invade Iraq, that someone in his administration or his spouse would be concerned for military families. No one in that administration spoke up. I don’t resent that fact , and noone should resent the fact that his spouse did not actively address that or make it her platform. What we should do is appreciate and be thankful that our new Commander in Chief and his spouse are already showing more concern for the military and mil families than anyone has in the last eight years. Also, if we truly respect the office of the President of the United States, and the man, then we don’t shorten his name to an acronym. He should be addressed as Mr. President or President Barack Obama. It is that “lowering of the standard” that we don’t need. I thank all military families for their support and sacrifice.
First and foremost, thanks you for your family’s sacrifice and involvement in our nations greatest Army
As a military brat and and government contractor, the world of a military family is dear and treasured.
I think our new President is taking the right steps to meet with military leaders and protect our troops and our nation…I’d hope that would be the intent of any President.
He was actually in the Pentagon earlier this week to meet with the JCS. See this article for more info
