Time to come together

We all knew that regardless of yesterday’s election, half of the American people would be disappointed today. And so it is. But as we told our children this morning, we must put the negative campaigns behind us and support the man who now is poised to lead this country.

But over the past eight years, many of those who were disappointed by the election outcomes chose instead to ridicule and look down upon man elected to lead this county. The Wall Street Journal has an opinion piece about this very topic in today’s paper that reads, in part:

The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.

It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.

Now I pray we can all come together to support Mr. Obama because we all know he’s inheriting a multitude of problems–problems that were rooted long before the current administration. Instead of those bumper stickers saying, “Don’t blame me, I voted for NAME”, I’d like to propose a new saying:
