Yeah, I've been laying low for the last couple of weeks. I did offer my sincerest congratulations to my one friend who is an Obama supporter, but beyond that, I still haven't gotten my head around what happened last Tuesday.
You won't find any Obama Derangement Syndrome in these quarters in the coming years. I'd like to think that whatever criticisms I offer up here will be constructive, and I'd like to think that, years from now, you can compare what you read here about our President-to-be with what you've read about President Bush on various lefty blogs the last 8 years and say, "Yeah - he took the high road."
Still, I can't help but think that last Tuesday's result is a direct repudiation of my values, not to mention the values that I thought (erroneously) a majority of the Republic held dear. Optimistic as I try to be that things won't be so bad the next 4 (or - gasp! - more) years, my cheer is dampened by a feeling of dread.
I'll expand on these thoughts later, but I'll leave you with something to chew on:
If the Reagan Revolution isn't dead, our party's leadership has done its damnedest to kill it.

Please note: My policy at Bramble Tamble is to not use real names for private citizens. I hope you will adhere to this policy; hell, it's my only rule here. (But you can use your own real name if you'd like. Cause I'm magnanimous like that.)
