DAWN OF A NEW ERA

Do you feel a little letdown after all the adrenaline rush of yesterday? I do, and even though it is a relief to have it decided and over, having all the hoop-la end is kinda an anti-climax. Of course, we were a little oversaturated with political propaganda. The media blitz is over, so what are they going to talk about now? Back to poor ol' Brittany, I guess. I called my daughter to see how they were taking McCain's defeat. She said that the boys were quite disappointed, but their appetite for politics had been whetted and she had no regrets. She said they would always remember seeing "A real American hero"! I told her that I thought Obama's victory speech was very eloquent, as great as any I had ever heard, to which she replied, "Oh, yeah! There's no doubt that he can "talk the talk", now if he is just able to "walk the walk" and fulfill his campaign promises. We had a hard time believing he could do all that and NOT RAISE TAXES, for the middle class. " We shall see! Her brother, a Democrat, is biding his time before venturing a little political ribbing for her. I told her to expect it. She said "Well, at least, we have griping rights now. We've had to listen to it from them for years now. I am hoping a Democrat president with a Democrat Congress can work wonders with the economy, the wars and health care. AND NOT RAISE TAXES for the working class. McCains speech was very gracious, also. Plus, we haven't seen the last of Governor Palin.". I'm glad they have important jobs to go back to. This election has really been an experience. I'm glad I voted.
