We have one day left to see the election through, and granted the prognosis is that Obamas got it. MA2, I like your analogy of the 6000 crew and the battleship, fitting for the ship of State.
Let us not lose the wonder for that which is the election, the democracy on tap as it were. I fear as y'all do, that with the double digit win, Obama will win a mandate. This is not necessarily bad, but the 'new' friends of state surely will be an indication as to the direction the new President and congress will take us, as sure as his friends of old indicate the new presidents political leaning, whether he reclaims them after the election or not.
Will that put in peril the balance of power world wide,... already Chavez is requesting a meeting with Obama when he wins. Russia has Georgia nervous on the balance, Israel is plowing down houses on the west bank, Mexican police are being murdered, our borders are still unchecked,....
At this point I wonder, 'is the support for the "New President of the United States" unilateral amongst nations and governments of our Allies, or is here a concern'? How about in our own internal security departments/agencies?
This is exciting, as come January 20th, we will be facing a brave new world, one of just more of the same, where behind closed doors destinies are decided, wealth is accumulated and power is divided,..
..or one where the very fabric of what is 'normal' is ripped, shorn into pieces that will confuse the very astute, confound the insider and without the guidance of a past,.. seek a new pinnacle of balance.....
or just Jimmy Carter all over again.
