Accepting Defeat Graciously...

After all, we were trounced!

I appreciated this essay by Andrew C. McCarthy, "The Possibilities of President Obama" (see link at left)....

Time for soul searching, humility, and a bit of courage. I'm not optimistic about the future, but I'll pause to acknowledge the greatness of the moment historically-speaking and hope for common sense to prevail. However, I fear the momentary conciliatory rhetoric will shortly give way to retribution once the after-glow has worn off...after all, this was never really about idealism or even race...it's always been about retaliation.

We'll watch, wait, and see, I guess. Meanwhile, for now...congratulations, Mr. Obama.
