Keep your chin up, America

The 44th President [Elect] of the United States

For two hours now, I have been trying to put words on paper. It hasn't been easy.As a man who believes in the virtue of fundamental fairness, I am delighted that the United States of America will, come January, see its first African-American president...

As an American, however, I wish that president could have been someone else. My God, we elected a socialist tonight. My God, we elected a man who has done nothing to show that he actually likes this country, nonetheless has its best interests at heart...

Still strugging for words, looking to connect my head with my fingers, I find myself disheartened because, if tonight is an indication of the near future, my daughter will not grow up in the same America I did. I find myself disappointed that my fellow Americans were not able to see past the rhetoric, past the spin, past the cloud of Bush Derangement Syndrome enough to do the right

thing yesterday...

Yet, oddly, I find myself optimistic...
