Congrats go out to Barack Obama the current president-elect who when inaugurated is poised to become the 44th President of These United States. This election was dare I say electrifying. Turn-out was at an all time high. The body politic was energized and infused with vigor. While I disagreed fundamentally with many of Mr. Obama's policies he outlined while stumping; I as an American have no choice but to congratulate him on his historic achievement. Even John McCain who was gracious in defeat realized that to truly move forward as a country cohesion is neccesary. So Mr. Obama you have your Majorities in both the House and the Senate, as George W. Bush put it you have political capital. Spend your capital wisely. You made many promises now you will have to keep them. The measure of any true leader is not whether he/she can make promises. Nor is it whether he/she can position themselves in a positive light. The measure of a true leader comes when adversity is knocking at your front door and you answer it with the same resolve you had when everything was going good. Hypothetically you have what it takes to lead. Well hypothetically has come and gone and reality is fast approaching. Lead with heart, lead with courage, and always remember if you acknowledge God in everything you do he will direct your paths.
Don't blink or history will pass you by

But you don't HAVE to use all of that political capital wisely. Seriously!
