Alright Mr. Obama...
We've invested ourselves emotionally and monetarily in you.
We elected you President.
We, as a nation, are entrusting you with our future.
We are handing you the keys to the '56 Bel Air that's sitting on blocks in our front yard (that's a metaphor, slowpokes).
Let's see what you've got.
Because whether we voted for you or Senator McCain, you're now our president whether we like it or not (for the record, I do like it).
Take a couple of days for yourself, but remember that January 20th is coming up really quickly.
McCain supporters...
Listen to your man's consolation speech again. It was the best speech he's ever given. He was right: all of the mistakes that were made were his. Instead of running his campaign like he did in 2000, he chose a different path and he's going to have to live with that for the rest of his life. He lost. He knows he lost. Go ahead and hang your head if it makes you feel better. You can even rant about how "Obama isn't your President" for a few weeks. Keep in mind, though, that McCain doesn't want a divided country. He wants all of us to serve America and support Her, no matter who is sleeping in the White House.
So get on board: your voice matters, too.
Obama supporters...
The game isn't over yet. There are still millions of Americans that don't agree on many of Mr. Obama's political profile. Just because their guy lost doesn't mean they are wrong. Just because our guy won doesn't mean that we are right. They are still Americans. They still matter. Remember that. Don't get upset when Mr. Obama puts a couple of Republicans in his cabinet. It's going to happen. It's a good idea. Lincoln did it and he's on money. Money talks, people.
The rest of the world...
Look out. We're back...and yes, we can.

I think that it was great speech by McCain, and although I'm happy that Obama won, I don't think any of us can get ahead of ourselves. We need to all continue to hold the government accountable, but I do believe that we've put ourselves in a position to succeed, and that's a great first step. It will be nice to have a little global respect if we really can fix this thing.
Very good young man. You are a bright boy. Maybe America does have some smart kids....
God I'm old as dirt.
Seriously, well said.
Good words Jim. You go man. I've never heard your uncle as willing to turn over the reigns (jk.) to another generation as he is here. Now he's counting on you (and me the Obama supporter) to do our part as well.
