Merc, sorry for your loss. I hope you can overcome your anger. It did me absolutely no good to be pissed off for these past 8 years.
Now: YAY!

Not really a loss for me, I didn't vote for either one of them. The pain is about to start for many. I will be fine.

Wow.
McCain's speech was very gracious. He showed the class and inner strength that had to come into play when he sacrificed so much for our country. Bravo on him. Obama's speech...I didn't expect anything less, but was still in awe. People who don't support Obama like to poke at the fact that people really came out for him, people who maybe never voted, people who had become so apathetic due to the status quo of many years...yet isn't that what our country needed? We needed to pull together, to care about something, to feel a fresh wind in our faces. You can say, tongue in cheek, that he is the Messiah. He is not quite that. He is a man, a good man, a smart man, and a visionary. Can it hurt us to have as our leader a man with charisma and, for want of a better phrase "people skills?" I have faith in this guy. I am very happy today.

I have faith in our country and a sense of relief the election is over. But I have always been a pessimist. So I will keep my microscope handy and watch for the payoffs. Obama has made a lot of promises that I do not believe he can deliver on and it is among those promises that got him elected.

Now all we can do is wait and see, I suppose.
And I can stop yelling at you.

After tearing up at the concession and acceptance speeches last night....Grant Park was simply amazing...I have a great sense of relief. Obama is a moderate. He's smart, bold, persuasive and creative, but also measured and cautious. I like our chances.
Checking the pulse of the cellar was interesting. When Obama started to capture the interest of staunch independent thinkers here, I grew very hopeful. Toad! Griff! To have a president that can unite and help move us out of the petty crap to take on the tough stuff...yow! |

For everyone who didn't get to see the President Elect's speech.
The man can speak, everyone needs to accept that at the very least.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

WOW! Powerful speech. He did a great job. That is the first time I got to hear the whole thing. Who ever wrote that did a historically good job.
