Welcome

If the title of the blog finds you a bit confused, watch the movie Bob Roberts. If that's too much work, and you prefer out-of-context quotes, get the movie, forward to 10:50 (not recommended).

For those who've seen the film: it may upset a few people to read, especially those who had tears in their eyes last night, but it's a point too important to leave unmentioned: There are similarities between candidate Barack Obama and candidate Bob Roberts.

We never get to find out what happens after Bob Roberts wins his election.

Obama's acceptance speach at the DNC: "...This election has never been about me. It's about you."

Whether you voted or not, it's always about you.

Voting (or staying at home) was the easy part for us; for President-Elect Obama, campaigning was the easy part.

For all of us, the clock only just started.

PS: Welcome to the blog, and thanks for paying attention. Both of you.
(Sorry about the Reader's Digest format. I'm new at this.)
