I feel good about many things that have to do with my country, but not many of them have a damm thing to do with Obama.

REALLY?

God, that is enlightening. Glad you contributed.

Actually, if you read what I've written, I didn't really say anything about Obama specifically. What I said was that it was cool seeing a bunch of people speaking and emoting about the greatness of America, about the hope that a free people can muster.

I would have been equally impressed with such a display of hope and joy had McCain won and put on a big show. I'm just not sure that it would have come off quite the same. But who knows?

Eh, point taken. But you know as well as I do that if McCain had won the "otherside" would have protests and an uprising. The riot police would have to be out in full force. There would be claims of fraud and other BS. Not to mention we would have 4 years of gridlock with Pelosi in charge of the House.
