Obama wins

Barack Obama won yesterday's election fair and square. Sure, there were lots of illegal votes but not enough to reverse the result. Obama will be president come January 20th. The looney Biden will be vice president. At least that gets him out of the Senate where he can do no harm -- unless something happens to Obama.

It's hard to guess which is the greater danger: Obama as president, Biden as president or Obama and Biden in the Senate. Perhaps Biden as president would be the greatest danger because he is incompetent and can't keep his mouth shut. Pray for Obama.

If McCain had won, race riots would have been likely, especially in places like Los Angeles and Detroit. Liberals would have alleged voter suppression or ballot manipulation or something to justify recounts and lawsuits. The situation would have been similar to the Florida 2000 fiasco where Al Gore tried to steal the election. Democrats would have insisted that McCain was an illegitimate president, certainly not their president.

Since Obama has won, there will be no riots and few if any lawsuits. The decision of the people of the United States will be accepted and respected by Republicans and conservatives. It is one of the differences between Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives.

But Republicans and conservatives will oppose Obama and Democrats in Congress when they disagree with them, as they should. In a perfect world, such oppositon would not be necessary often.
