Oh, it won't be great in the sense that we just had, and are still having a financial market breakdown that is making average folks concerned about their homes and livelihood. But in the sense of all of us working together. I actually heard Obama say the word "sacrifice" last night. I came from a family in which the elders had a *depression*-era ethic, that is they believed they must all pull together, not get things on credit, save and scrimp, help their neighbors and those less fortunate, and generally, be part of an American team. The Bush years proved that there are some who, even though in charge, were out only for themselves, usually through greed. I like the fact that Obama so often said "We" are going to do this or that instead of "I". It made for a warm feeling of being American, of us all having commonality and being like each other, together going forward even if it means it may be through adversity. Obama is most likely going to be elected, versus the cranky, erratic man who was against him. I think Obama will be an excellent president.
