A while back I posted about the micro-blogging website Plurk, because I had starting using it and thought those of you who don’t blog as much would want something small and convenient. Well its rival site Twitter was hacked Monday and a few celebrities were targeted. Why I am writing this was because one person in particular was targeted, President-Elect Barak Obama.

From BBC,

The celebrities, including US CNN broadcaster Rick Sanchez, awoke on Monday morning to find their Twitter accounts – which allows users to post short updates of less than 140 characters – with some bizarre and, in some cases pornographic messages.

The fictional updates included a message from Mr Sanchez saying he would not be in work because he was high on crack, a link to free petrol from Mr Obama and some very personal statistics from Ms Spears.

Though I don’t really use Plurk as much as I did when I started, this goes to show why I chose it over Twitter.

Obviously as we all know Barack Obama has been selected as the next President of the United States, and with that he will be my our new Commander-In-Chief.  Though there are mixed reviews about having him as our next President, no matter what I think or believe, I will carry out whatever he deems necessary and involves the military because I am an American serving in the Armed Forces, and I took the Oath of Enlistment stating “that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States.”

I do offer my congratulations on his achievement in becoming the next POTUS and the efforts put forth in order to gain the trust of the people of the United States to select him into office.  As a military member, I do not do my job based on race, religion, personal preference, but to complete the mission at hand, be it real or an exercise.  I do it because I don’t know when my Commander-In-Chief will call upon the Navy to carry out a real life mission, but at least I know I will be ready.

To those who refuse to accept Barack Obama as our new President, there is nothing you can do and will accept him like every President before him.  Those in the military who do not accept him, he is your new Commander-In-Chief and you will carry out his orders because you took the same Oath as I did.
