I can’t stop smiling, even though I didn’t vote for Barack Obama. Even though I have every reason to expect that a liberal-controlled government will run us farther into economic recession than we are right now, I can’t stop smiling.
I’m quite sure I wouldn’t have smiled as much, had McCain won.
I’m happy for everyone who supported Obama and who has had to suffer under an administration they never believed in for eight years. I’m glad that the other half of America will have to look at themselves today, and consider why they lost their power. Reproof is good for people; in Proverbs it says that “correction is the way of life.” Only beloved folks receive correction, and half the nation was handed a large correction yesterday. This is not a bad thing.
And I’m most happy that this election settled the question of whether we have healed our racial past or not. Yesterday, we showed that we have, and I’m so glad. I knew we had; you knew we had; but now everyone in the world knows we did, and we can move on.
