the happy smiling people are gone today from the world as i took the young one to class. people are still concerned about the economy, their jobs and the lives of their children.

i can assure you that people on the blue side of the fence will no doubt be bitching in 12 months because they won’t understand that some wounds take longer to heal than other ones.

some of our population look for the quick fix and they think they have it in obama. i am sure he WILL do great things and i look forward to that but people have to be realistic….time will tell us all.

It’s even worse than that, if such a thing is even possible. This year, my parents — conservative evangelical pro-life voters who’ve voted Republican since the 60s — voted Obama. That is how grim things are for the GOP.

Let’s just hope the defection from the previous base isn’t simply a rejection of the Republican hijacking, but rather turns into some significant move forward in America’s history. Simply trading chairs on the deck of the sinking ship isn’t going to be worth anything other than having slowed the Republicans.

We’re in desperate need of a tide change here. I believe Obama’s election has started to shift it, but it’s critical the momentum be leveraged and that “defining moment” in American history continue to expand into a new greatness for all of us.

The answer, of course, is that they really can’t unless they can figure out how to deal with the millions of rabid Christians who comprise the backbone of what’s rapidly becoming a regional political party
