The Obligatory Post
I am so very glad that Barack Hussein Obama II will be the new "Leader of the Free World" in a couple of months time. I am not expecting miracles, the immediate end of a global recession, an end to wars (in general, or even specifically the ones already in place) or the banishment of racism from America and the rest of the world, but his speech was very good indeed.
I hope that he and his party can work together now to pull America together and put it back in a respected position in world regard. I hope he can manage health care reform in a country that can so obviously afford it and chooses not to. I hope his energy plans bring real benefit to the whole world. I hope he can help heal the racial and religious divides that still sully American ideals.
Mostly, though, I'm glad Bush will be gone soon, and Palin won't be getting a look-in.
