"It is true there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea.’ You are the sea. Although I experience many ups and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts and changes in my inner life, you remain the same." Vincent Van Gogh

The Day after the Election
It was an exciting election night and it certainly came with a few surprises. I had predicted an upset, and although I was wrong on who would win (McCain), I was right in that it was a bigger margin of victory than expected. Obama won the electoral vote by nearly a 2 to 1 margin, although the popular vote was much closer. As McCain and George Bush did last night, I will have to offer my congratulations to Barack Obama for his decisive win and pledge my support for him as my next President come January 20, 2009. I certainly hope that he can follow through on his promises made during his campaign, and wish him the best as he attempts to change America into a country that is more accepted around the world. I do feel that once in office, he will begin to understand the enormous challenges that George Bush had during the past 8 years and particularly the past four. I am concerned now about the balance of power shifting to the democrats with their majority in both the House and Senate. I did find it interesting that the futures market this morning was predicting a down day in the stock market. Obama's choice as the next Treasury secretary will be very important.
