"TRUST... BUT VERIFY"

Ronald Reagan said it, and I believe it. Barack Obama wins the election and the pundits start pontificating. That's fine. I will not do the stereotypical thing and rail against fellow GOP'ers or conservatives, or go on the attack immediately vs. Obama-Biden. I want to believe that President-elect Obama means what he said in the big speech last night. It's a history-making event for our country, and does lift hearts to see we're moving beyond racism. Time will tell. His record shows the rhetoric doesn't match it. But maybe it's a new day in America. We can hope. We'll see what changes. And we'll continue to debate the issues.
