A powerful sense of hope


Obama wins!  I feel a powerful sense of hope.  I know that we have miles to go to fix our economy, our environment, our reputation throughout the world.  The damage that has been done cannot be fixed in four or eight years.  But my hope comes from believing that President-elect Obama has a gift for leading us through dark times without division and blame. That he can set an example for the country to follow whereby we settle our differences and sort our priorities through fierce debate and the development of ideas that will advance America's principles.  I have hope that our own dark Joe McCarthy era has  ended with this election and that we can now stop putting so much energy into stopping the bad and instead put our precious labor into building a world we can be proud of.
