The fact that we have to have an agenda in order to accomplish goals doesn't seem to matter anymore and that's a good thing. Let us continue to exist peacefully and prosperously. All people are equal everywhere. The world has hope now. From a Canadian who pays attention to world affairs.

I had the thought yesterday that the next time I'm at the Bellagio and the fountains are dancing to the strains of "Proud to be an American," I won't be feeling guilty. It's been a while since my heart swelled in that regard, but difficult to express. I'm not a proponent of "love it or leave it." I prefer "love it and improve it." With Obama's election, we improved something fundamental that's been wrong from the start. And we got a uniter, too. Dang! We really did it! How can we not feel proud? I say going sane is worth the risk! Steve — yeah!

Mark Steve,

If your family is very wired, they will still find this comment — but perhaps that is just as well?

But, I have to say that the America Obama spoke of yesterday is the America I grew up loving. I didn't recognize the gang of idiots that was America the past eight years. I'm going to hone down an opinion on what might have been happening and pubilsh it, but for now, I'll say here (where my family won't notice) how proud I am to be American just now. When I was little I knew that we could pull off getting rid of second-class citizenship, and so we (mostly) have. Damn, but that makes me feel better! And, instead of calling himself a uniter, this man is acting like one. Can you believe it? As I said, the world has apparently gone sane! Is it safe? :-) My hope is that in a few years we will again be the shining beacon for the world, instead of the neighborhood bully. This country is just too good an experiment to let it go to helena handbasket. I am so looking forward to the next few years (in that regard.)
