Congratulations to Barack Obama, the 44th President of The United State of America. I had the privilege of watching the results from Rockefeller Plaza in Mid-town Manhattan. It was absolutely packed to the gills with humanity. Yes, it was overwhelmingly a Democratic and Pro-Obama crowd, but if you were there it seemed like more than that. The word catharsis comes to mind.
Congratulations to John McCain, who ran a strong race and gave a moving and unifying concession speech. He gave me hope that the John McCain that I grew to love and admire 4 years ago is still in there somewhere and will hopefully reemerge as a stalwart of the senate that all Americans can look to for a cool head and an honest opinion. His party did not let him be himself during this election, but now that it’s over, I hope he goes back to answering only to himself. That’s the McCain I loved.
Tonight, my wish was granted. Now lets see if we, the American People, can stand up and answer my prayer.
In closing…
Good boy, Rob.
Hold him to it, Robert.
Congratulations to you!
