I am guessing that I am a little older than most on this board, but I have to say that listening to Obama's speech last night stirred memories of JFK and how uplifted the county was by his vitality. I hope that we can move on united as a nation as well as show the world what we are made of.
We had several friends from around the country over last Wed. night, representing a mix of conservative, liberal, and independent views. We all agreed that this was an important step in our country's history. Most emphatically, we celebrated the fact that regardless of someone's political beliefs, we can all be grateful for a peaceful transition of power.
Until now it seems for me, as if Obama has done the right things and have chosen the best people to his government. I don’t know all of them, but it was clever of him to choose Hillary. She has a good reputation in other countries, which I still feel means something.
You know what, Linne, you are so right...we will be in much better shape to come...a better future is a good thing. People just have to give this new leadership, support, understanding and it will resolve itself.
