I know that there are hard feelings about the campaign and about Barack Obama being elected President, I would have been crushed had it gone the other way. I recognize that there are a good number of White people who supported Obama and I thank you.

I do recognize, and those who don't should acknowledge that a majority (hopefully) of the votes for Mc Cain had nothing to do with Obama being Black; they are the result of fear implanted in them by the Republican party. The same fear that got Bush a second term in office.

As time goes on, they will recognize that the fear they have been feeling was based on a lie much like the War in Iraq was started based on a lie.

In the meantime, we have the opportunity to come together and make America great again. But we can't do it if we continue to snipe at each other. What makes America great is that we can all have different opinions and beliefs. I think that we should all agree to disagree and come together to get ourselves through these challenges.

I plan on taking my future talking points from the opposition party of the past 8 years.

I think I'll start with "Obama stole the election."

From McCain's concession speech:

I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.

It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.


Words we can all take to heart.

Since the only things Bush accomplished while in office was get us into a war based on a lie, leave the people of New Orleans stranded and made it impossible for them to get funds to clean-up the ENTIRE Katrina-ravaged area and cut taxes for the rich, what was there for me to support?
