Hi Jack and Joann,
Enjoy the victory. I will keep the comments you posted to use during the coming months. John McCain is a Democrat in a Republican suit. I never thought he could win. I really don't think Sarah Palin made any difference in the outcome at all. We all had better pray Obama is something more than he appears to be. Pappy
Great Myworld post, congrats on your new President.
Cheers!

This is a perfect post for My World. The world has hope that this president will be a vast improvement over the last.
What a fitting entry. We're all proud and hopeful. God bless everyone!
Good set of quotations.
Great post and photo!!
It's too bad the weather isn't a little better for Tuesday! I don't think I would have braved it, even with better weather. I'll watch from home. Front row seat, no traffic :)
Very good quotes...some I had heard ~~~ some I had not!
Thanks.
I will be seated in front of the TV all night! Glued, so to speak to the screen.
I wish the USA all good frtune with the coming change. May reason prevail this time.
Joan: Beautiful post with all the quotes, I watched a lot of the show today.
I heartily agree we need to give him a chance ... but the interesting thing is he can't do this alone ... we, all of us, need to pitch in and help. Conserve but spend, pay our taxes and save for our individual retirements. We're in this together. It sure does help to have a visionary leading the way, however. thanks for your comment. And I noticed the Space Needle under the flying flag on the boat on Lake Union -:)
