I feel bad for McCain--he is a really decent guy I'm sure. And I feel for Sarah. But the way they view the world is off, and I know that there are some who will disagree with me, and that's cool. Soldiers disagree with each other; theologians, lawyers, politicians and so on all have their own opinions--just as you can find African Americans who are Republicans or conservatives, you can also find NCOs, WOs & Commissioned Officers who are Democrats or liberals. But tonight I'm feeling a little more hopeful for my nation. I'd like to think that tonight the vast majority of Americans came together in a way I don't think has happened since Reagan, crossing party lines, up and down the social scale & so on to choose a head of state who has a sharp mind, who knows how to choose his advisers, especially those who will challenge him in his own preconceptions and make him work towards a solution, someone who knows how to think out of the box, who is analytical, engaged, who has worked his way up and through his example will inspire kids to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, stand with dignity and work hard to achieve their dreams. Its not going to be easy, what with two wars, our economy in very poor shape, but I think that unlike most politicians Obama knows how to ask the right questions of the right people to get the information he needs to make a sound decision. Over the past two years, there was only one candidate who kept an even temper and who kept his bank account in order. With the support of folks like Warren Buffett, Colin Powell & Susan Eisenhower among others I think that we will see something new as President-Elect Obama meets with President Bush (they're 11th cousins, once removed, BTW) and I sincerely hope that, in the spirit of "gung-ho" we will as a nation work together, helping our friends, family & neighbors out of this place we find ourselves. This isn't a time for "me"--its a time for "we". Of course that's just my ever so humble (

) opinion, and hope no one finds offense.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
