It was a little scary at the beginning but Barack Obama pulled through and is the President-elect of the United States of America.
In the early going, John McCain caputed quite a few electoral votes which blew me away. I don't think his campaign did anything to separate himself from George Bush. I still can't remember any occasion where he addressed the middle class.
McCain was too busy hammering Obama on "spreading the wealth" and labeling Obama as a "socialist." Wait a minute. How did Congress attempt to solve the financial crisis? Oh, that's right...it was done by spreading the wealth and bailing out failed financial institutions.
Anyway, back to the main point; the election. Did you notice a pattern in the states where McCain won? There were mostly southern and western. Bible belt. While Barack Obama's victory is historic for our country, there are still some bad feelings in some parts of our country.
One thing's for sure and that is that Barack Obama has a lot of work to do in cleaning up the mess left from the last eight years.
Hopefully, this is the last of Joe the Plumber.
