It’s now over so I’m going to leave off the politics with this post.
Hats off to McCain. What a dignified speech! I wish him a happy period of relaxation and hope it includes some hunting.
He faced a very difficult task to recover from the mire that Bush Republicanism associated with him; what little chance he had was lost when Palin was added to his ticket.
To that fringe of society who post here, those who ranted and raved their bigoted hatred, those who repeated falsehoods, those who compiled Nazi-like hate lists, I pity you.
The others might like to know that 1 in 6 workers in Ireland is absent today, either on a day’s holiday or “sick” due to staying up all night to watch the election. Over here, Obama's victory was warmly welcomed, despite what his taxation policies might do to our economy.
Obama wanted change – he now has it. Let’s hope that he has the determination, ability and team to put America back up there and gaining the respect that should be accorded to it.
K.
