A Democrat in the White House, nice gains in the Senate and House and a fresh start for the country.
Obama has been left an absolute mess but this isn't all bad. When you are rebuilding something you also have the opportunity to make needed changes. Since Obama now is faced with rebuilding our economy, our military, our infrastructure our balance sheet and so much more, he will have the opportunity to make the needed changes to grow our country.
Two of the early keys that will indicate if the Obama administration will be a positive one are governance and accountability.
Obama need to run the country with an eye to running the country well. Bush viewed his administrations first job as getting more republicans elected and appointed and hired into government. He did not care if this was good or bad for the nation, only if it benefited his party. Obama can not allow this to happen on his watch. The second issue is, holding those who have misused their authority accountable for their actions. This will be an first step in righting past wrongs and will provide an example to those now holding power and those who will hold power in the future, that violations of the law will not be forgotten or forgiven once the administration changes.
God bless America and God bless Obama, we have a lot of work to do, and we will need all the help we can get.

It is indeed a great day for America!!!
However, if the Deocratic controled Congress does like the Repugnitcans did in Bushies first six years (run a mandate congress) we will be in the same mess that we had under the last six of Bill Clinton, and to a much less harmfull extent, the last two of Shrub.
Meaning, mandate congresses are for a second term president with his last congress, provided he still has the majority to run the mandate.
We can not go mandate on America, or we will lose big in two and four years.
Just my halfpence.
