I don’t know how you Americans do it.
Eighteen months of elections.
This is only my second political post on this blog – promised to stay out of it – almost made it – but considering my last post, obviously found myself caught out at the last moment.
I have a profound respect for America.
Taken as a whole, nothing on this Earth even comes close…at least not yet.
This election was won by a slim margin really – even though the Obama Campaign knew the math and executed like Warriors.
-Just over one hundred million votes, split, round about half way for each party-
That’s 50 million voices either way- formidable numbers to deal with.
You WILL heal.
Onward.

Amen, my friend! I did a post about it all called, “On Further Reflection.” Check it out! I MISS YOU! I think I am going to surprise you one day and call you on your phone,, since you don’t seem to have the time or energy to write me a note. (I haven’t got much of that either!) I want to read more of your poems, Kenny. You always inspire me!
Hey! Did you see that I won the best blog review prize for my review of Khanh Ha’s book, “Flesh?” Really surprised me!
I hope to hear your voice soon. . .

I love your entry. Obama has his work cut out for him. But he is up to the challenge. He gives me such hope!
