One reason why I can be appreciative of Obama's victory, despite of his policies, is because of the time we lived in inner city African American neighborhood in Atlanta. For a perpective from our former pastor in Atlanta, read his blog on Sojourners. He also has a book out entitled New Neighbor.
Yesterday I voted. Today I gave blood. Who knows what I'll do tomorrow.
Even though I didn't vote for Obama, there are nice aspects of seeing him President. He is definitely a great speaker and will do much for uniting the country in ways we haven't seen before. But, I am wary of his policies and approach of running the country. It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next 8 years...
