by more than 4 million votes in the popular vote... we should congratulate
ourselves for electing a champion of freedom and liberty, and allow him to
do his job...

Paul, thank you for informing us all how many votes Obama won by. However, we were established as a Republic and I assume you know the difference. (champion of freedom & liberty) hmmm. we shall see. I am the last person who is stopping him from doing his job at least until we find out what (his job) is. Also, I did not realize my prior remarks were directed toward un-congratulating those who voted for Obama, rather to clarify that there are others, many others. Finally, perhaps that was president Bush's failure, no partisans on his behalf went forth and asked for him to be allowed to "do his job" in the beginning. this board lacks sufficient space to register the bile and contempt he yet endures.  Jim

PS: when I read your sub-post " Have a great day!", I want to cringe and think to myself> It would be better if it said; I am elite, I am Democrat, I know best, Hear me roar..<, but that's just me. Have a nice day

Certainly, I should not speak to Saul's (or any other Person's) post. It speaks for its self 

Editor's Note
One thing I tell REALTORS every day when talking about their websites is that they need a website strategy...and hope is not a very good strategy."I hope someone will come to my website today.""I hope I get leads from my website.""I hope I can convert website leads into sales and commission checks.""I hope my website helps me get more exposure for my listings."A strategy requires a long term or broad view and then the tactics to achieve the goals and objectives as described in the strategy."Saul

Maybe there should be a difference between hope with a "small h" versus Hope with a "LARGE H".  I would argue that the inspiration offered by Dr. Martin Luther King that dreamed (and HOPED) for a time when a person would be judged by the content of their character, the vision to put a man on the moon envisioned by John F Kennedy, the democratic election blossoming from the quiet strength Nelson Mandela, and all such transformational events in world history possessed the element of HOPE.  Hope without action and direction can certainly pave a path to no where.  However, without HOPE, a path is never gets started at all!

To those gifted few who inspire others to HOPE, we all owe a debt of gratitude.  Such figures come along far too infrequently.  And when those figures are able to also mobilize others into taking positive action, to get up and DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEMSELVES AND OTHERS ... that ability should be applauded, not demeaned.

--- Well, at least in this country you are entitled to your opinion...
whether real or imagined.

As for knowing the difference between a Democracy and a Republic, yes, I
know the difference... see several of my previous posts during this long
election debate.

Have a great day!

Wow, Jack, that was absolutely awesome.... beautifully written.... and I agree wholeheartedly...
I am going to pass your post along to some friends (with your by-line)....

As a blue-eyed blonde, I've had it easy.... I don't think I ever applied for two jobs that I didn't get at least one of them..... black people (especially in the South) generally have to apply for 30-40 positions, and are lucky to get ONE job offer.... I have been in the workplace and have seen how those "black" applications were handled.... I've seen so much discrimination, years ago, and still today.... it's less now, but still there.

What so many people don't understand, is that black people want jobs, not hand-outs. Hand-outs are for the truly needy. Most people want the dignity of having a real job. There are exceptions, to be sure, but citing those exceptions as being typical is just plain wrong.

I'm still in awe at how preceptive you are, and how well you captured it....

Jack,

Your observations and insight are right on. America will never be the same again. We are beginning a new era in America that will benefit everyone regardless of race, creed, color, age, region, income, etc.

Thanks for an excellent analysis.

Keep Hope Alive.
