LMAO! Yes it does!
To everyone that posts here. . .we've had our riles, but we are all smarter for it. And that ultimately is what it is all about. I posted earlier about the lady at the polls that didn't know how to vote. No one here can claim that. At the very least we are all educated voters (sorry I do have to exclude the one cheerleader among us
).
I just finished watching Obama's acceptance speech. It was moving. . .and from the depths of my soul, I hope he is truly everything that he appears to be. I can honestly say that I hope I am wrong about Obama and that for the good of our country, I hope his supporters are right.
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
- Abraham Lincoln
Second Inaugural Address March 4, 1865
ETA: Sorry couldn't leave this one out:
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. . .that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. . . that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. . . and that government of the people. . .by the people. . .for the people. . . shall not perish from this earth."
