Can’t we enjoy this for a while?
OK everyone. Take a deep breath. President-Elect Obama doesn’t actually take office for over two months, people! I was really hoping we could enjoy this triumphant accomplishment for a little while. But, no, in the past few days I’ve gotten emails from individuals and groups asking for signatures on petitions (“The First 100 Days will be the most important for our causes..”); questioning President-Elect Obama’s connections to certain industries; comparing recent remarks to this person or that.
Never mind that we have US Senate races to win.
Good lord. This is a remarkable moment in American history. Can I just bask in it for a little while between making buttons and making sure all my friends have absentee ballots?
