A new beginning...

I slept well last night after a wonderful evening of rejoicing over the victory of Barack Obama as President of the United States. I never disliked John McCain. In fact, he is a very honorable man who has given much to his country and he delivered a very gracious concession speech last night. My problem with his candidacy was his age and less than perfect health and his choice of a running mate. Also, the record of the Republican party has not been good during the past eight years.

Barack Obama certainly has his work cut out for him. He has inherited a mess and will need the help of everyone to turn things around. I hope and pray that everyone will come together and do what is right for the country. Now we can move forward and hopefully repair our relations with other countries as we become part of the world once again.
