Beginning on January 20, 2009, the Obama Administration set out to help America recover from the devastation brought on by the Bush Adminstration. After 8 years of arrogance, corruption, deregulation, senseless wars, pro-rich tax laws, and destruction of economies world wide; we all needed a major change to restore hope!
Obama took swift action to prevent further damage and keep us from falling off a cliff. While it will take many years to fully recover from the Bush Depression, at least Obama has saved us from a total economic collapse and has us on the loooong road to recovery.
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texaswill vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
