Awesome...Congratulations to our 44th

President of the United States - Barack Obama. I just listened to Sen. McCain's concession speech on Fox News. I have gained so much respect for Sen. McCain. I admire him for all his efforts during the campaign and for his statements wishing our new President his support. I also wish Gov. Palin well. As for the Republicans, who I've listened to over the past two years, in their failed effort to destroy the credibility of Sen. Obama, I only have the utmost disdain for all of you. I have seen the devil and it appeared to me as the Republican National Committee. And for the Republicans who call themselves Christians, you are clearly ignorant of the teachings of Jesus Christ. You should be ashamed of yourselves and how you all conducted yourselves during this long and hard campaign. Thank goodness the majority of the country ignored your fear mongering. I am proud to have been part of history. I am glad this election is over. There is a lot of work to do. I hope we all come together and give our new President our full support and follow Sen. McCain's lead. 

PS/In memory of Dr. Martin Luther King: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles. Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
