It is remarkable that a black man can be elected POTUS. It says alot, and hopefully puts to rest the notion that the U.S. is a racist nation some have. The racial grievance lobby can now STFU, forever.

I couldn't stand Obama's speech. I hate the "tonight has proven the american dream is still alive, the founders hope is still alive, people still have a chance, etc. etc" bullshit. The implication being that if he wasn't elected the dream would be dead.

I do hope, all evidence to contrary, that Obama does want to work in a bipartisan manner. Like I said, I don't believe it, but we'll see. I guaran-damn-tee you Nancy Pelosi isn't interested in playing nice so we'll see if Barry will stand up to them.

Now is the time for conservatives and Republicans to regroup and become the party of ideas and ideals again. To the GOP congress, do the best you can. Much of their agenda will pass and much can be undone. I expect them to do their best to hold the line (fillibuster till the cows come home) at new entitlement programs because they are NEVER undone.

Hopefully we don't emerge from the next four or eight years as France. God bless (and help) the United States of America.
