He's President for the next four years. He has the opportunity to become a great president if he pursues the ideals he just expressed in his acceptance speech. Perhaps what's past is
not prologue. Perhaps he pursued the path he did, through Occidental and Columbia and Harvard and Chicago and community organizing and Rev. Wright's church and the Democrat Party and the Democrat Primary, as a political path to the opportunity to strengthen this great country according to our unique constitution. Perhaps he is the Manchurian candidate for what's good about America, who had to "tunnel" through the Democratic Party in order to lead us all to the promised land. Perhaps he will be able to stand up to the Democratic Congress more strongly than our Republican leaders have done.
Although there's little evidence supporting that, beyond tonight's speech, I'll give him a hundred days. He surprised us by winning. Perhaps he'll surprise us by doing the right thing. He'll have at least 50% of the country behind him no matter what he does, so he might as well do what's right.
I "hope".
