Dear Mr. President

Americans will elect the 44th U.S. president today.

Here's all I ask:

• Integrity is everything. Lead with ethics and honesty.
• Partner with brilliant minds to focus on America's economic health.
• Don't punish me for making something of myself and giving my hard-earned money to those who are lazy.
• Embrace life, but honor choice. This isn't the government's call.
• Reward entrepreneurialism. Don't overtax small business.
• Get the bastard who tried to kill me in Manhattan on 9/11. 

Unfortunately, we don't have the perfect candidate.

But I'll cast my vote.

God bless America.

I would not want to live anywhere else.

There will never be a perfect candidate. I think it's too hard to stick to a set way of thinking to attract the popular vote. Both candidates will backpeddle on senstive issues without committing anything. You just have to figure if bad decisions are made that congress and the senate will do their jobs.

This country has always been a land of opportunity. I am hopeful that whatever the outcome, those that work hard will continue to be rewarded and continue to be able to "spread the wealth" by creating jobs and opportunities for others that are willing to work hard. And, yes, let's get the bastards that tried to kill you on 9/11.

Well said, Dan.

I am thankful. The freedom to vote my conscience is something I cherish.

I voted this morning. The wait was a pain in the ass, but I was glad to be able to do it.

I am very grateful for the United States of America -- for this magnificent experiment...

I woke up this morning to a new America, and I like it.
