Barack Obama

It was the sounds of cheering crowds on the tv last night that awoke me to the realization that a new day was dawning. Finally, I realized that the long dark days of the previous administration soon will be over. Gone will be the bunker  mentality,  torture, Guantanamo , wire tapping, mission accomplished theatrics and divisive politics. Finally we can go about working with the world's inhabitants to clean up the environment, to open channels of communication to the nations of the world. Thankfully we picked a candidate that would talk to Iran rather than sing songs about bombing them. Thankfully Barack does not need a supreme court or a hanging chad to determine his destiny. The vote was overwhelming. It restores my faith in the election process. I don't envy Barack the mess that will be delivered on January 20th. He will need to hit the ground running. If his choice in election team, and  VP is any indication, he will hit the ground running with a team that will be focused and productive.
