Does everything have a silver lining, or when faced with a situation that we can't get out of do we rationalize why it won't be so bad? Either way here are the rationalizations/silver linings following the results last night.
1)GW and his father GHW Bush were principled men who did what they believed in and the polls be damned. Granted, they may have stayed with a losing proposition a little to long in some cases, but they really did what they felt was right. Clinton didn't, he ran whichever way the polls went, and I believe Obama will be the same. This is good because the people of this country are not quite as liberal as our President-Elect, and if he follows the polls then the will of the people, moderates mostly, will be done.
2)As noted before, I believe Congress will flip ala 1994 as soon as voters get a good look at what the policies really are.
3)All things government run inefficiently and slowly. By the time any damage can be inflicted, the Republicans will be back to block legislation.
4)I believe that Obama loves this country and really wants what is best for us, misguided though he may be of how to get there.. Tales of all of us running around in Hijabs and Kafiahs and smoking Hookas are, well, ridiculous .
5)There's probably a few more, but for now I'll let Senator John McCain have the last one
"Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth....
....to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Americans never quit. We never surrender.
We never hide from history. We make history.
