It is now President Obama that is a fact and he's been in office less than 1 week and there's already a lot of bellyaching from the right. Limbaugh has already said he doesn't want him to succeed. I guess all that- he's the President of all of us and support our leader stuff goes out the window as soon as the shoe is on the other foot.

Sorry if I slighted former President G.H.W. Bush (guess I got that right?) who has now reserved his place in history, but I was just trying to make the point that a change has come and that there are some of us who welcome that change and have hope for better days ahead.

I didn't see much ambiguity in that election result.

Well things always change and in ways that are hard to predict. I think this downturn is likely to linger a while. I remember when Reagan came in things were bad and got worse for a couple of years before turning around.
