I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on the historic election of Barack Obama.  I will be back on topic at the end of the week.

To All:  Whether you voted for Barack Obama or John McCain, you exercised your responsibility to vote in record numbers.  President – Elect Obama has broken barriers and in doing so is deserving of our respect and admiration.  Maybe the racial chasm that has been ever present in our country is a little narrower – a little shallower today than it was yesterday.  We have given him a mandate to lead our nation to a better place than it is today.  It is up to us to give him the support he needs to do so.

To President – Elect Obama:  You did not earn my vote today.  But you did earn my respect and admiration.  You have done a great thing.  You have been given a mandate from what I think is a more united America.  You have been given a mandate to lead us back into prosperity and to do so with integrity, honesty, wisdom, and discernment.   I hope that you can heal the deep wounds that exist and divide this country.  I also hope that you can set an example that will help us as a people to regain our trust in our government and to strengthen the moral fiber that is critical for the future of our country and our society.  Maybe, just maybe, in four years you will also earn my vote.  Good luck and Godspeed.
