I'm glad to see you're calming down. I was about to give up on you for good, thinking that all that hatred had gotten the better of you.
Obama has the highest post-election/pre-inauguration Favorable numbers of any president since they started tracking that number. I think he's going to do everything he can to fulfill the promises he made and to change the tenor of American politics.
You gotta' love his reaching out to Hillary and McCain. No Republican would have done anything like that. I think he's gonna' be a great president, and the republicans are going to look sicker and meaner as they continue to attempt to block him. I'm hoping they've sealed their fate for many years to come.
And in the spirit of reconciliation that Obama is making a focus of his presidency, I'd like to follow that model and see if you and I can't do the same.
I think now that the emotion is fading everybody will have a better chance of returning to sanity and pragmatic dialogue instead of screaming at each other at the top of their lungs.

she is working off her personal shame for having voted for bush both times, then turned on him, now is totally self-righteous about her position of having fallen in with the chanting herd.
Her history of having voted for bush apparently qualifies her for a position of Republican strategist, as most of her posts are about what the Republican party should do.
Even those of us that do not like obama are supportive of him and wish the best for the country since obama is the only president we have for awhile, but instead of welcoming people into the fold, people like her keep on the attack since that aspect of the race is all that excited them about the campaign anyway. So far, obama isn't making any patently bonehead moves, actually he is proceeding in a rational manner, such most folks that opposed him and that have any pragmatism left are just watching and wishing him well.
The clueless ones are still refighting last months battles and it just makes them look silly and shallow. But good character is not a requirement to post here, such as the dimwits that keep posting "Loser", etc. over and over. They are not even worth engaging, as there is nothing to be learned from them, and their ability to evoke sympathy for their apparent insecure pathology is their primary station in life."
