Barack Obama wasn’t my pick, but I wish him well in his new job. I can’t help but be excited to see the first African-American president. Regardless of my political views, it is, as Obama says, a defining moment in our history.
I was never in any delusion that the pendulum of American public opinion would stay swung to the Right indefinately, nor did it deserve to. Neither should my jubilant Democrat friends believe that they won’t see a Republican majority again in the future. Despite his campaign promises, Obama is going to have a tough time pleasing all of the people all of the time. Remember, the majority of Americans used to think George W. Bush was a swell guy too.
