I voted for
President Obama the last two times around, so I’m not seeing much good news in
the election results this morning.
I’m afraid
that the next two years could be a very bad time for Americans, America and our
system of government.
Maybe I’ll be
surprised.
Maybe the
Republicans in Congress will respect the fact that the will of the people put a
Democrat in the White House two years ago.
President Obama
has already figured out that Republicans control both the Senate and the House.
Maybe the
Republicans in Congress will decide to work with the president to start
governing the country.
We’re going to
need compromise all over the place to start passing legislation to boost growth
in our national economy, help create jobs for the millions of Americans who
want to work, tackle the rebuilding of our transportation infrastructure, work
on smart energy policy that won’t fry our planet, deal with our education
problems….
The election
is over.
In Washington,
let’s stop the yelling, and get to work.
