Another observation: you know that you are in trouble when stone aged savages who were recently chopping people up with machetes are celebrating your new president. I am referencing the Odinga/Obama supporters in Kenya, Africa's oldest working democracy, who , when their candidate, Odinga, lost the election, began killing their opposition with machetes. Approximately 1500 were killed including a group of mostly women and children who took refuge inside a church only to be locked inside and the church burned around them. Understandably both sides are celebrating; the Odinga/Obama supporters because Obama won and the opposition to Odinga because they did not have to endure another loser's slaughter. Change we can believe in. Right...

McCain's Concession Speech

Watching the concession speech of John McCain I was struck by something I had never before seen at a concession speech. The crowd was respectful and supportive of their candidate, but they were quiet. There was the occasional outburst of support for McCain and a more frequent booing when McCain would mention Obama, but overall there was a somber, resolute quiet. The faces in the crowd were not fearful, but determined. The determined look of someone with a difficult job that has to be done, and is ready to get started. The quiet confidence that they will commit to success, although success is not guaranteed. There were no glassy eyed fanatics, just Americans who are used to working through difficult problems, realizing the task at hand.
