It seemed like the whole world was pulling for Obama this past Tuesday-- the press remained firmly in his corner as countless foreign politicians and government-types expressed their gratitude to the American people for sending "The One" to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this January.
As a conservative and someone that did not vote for President Elect Obama, I actually felt pretty good about the outcome-- clearly much better than when President Clinton unseated Bush 41 and Senator Bob Dole lost to the "Man from Hope" four years later.
The GOP did manage to avoid a full on bloodbath by limiting the democrats to 58 senate seats and therefore short of a filibuster gold card. Considering everything that happened in the past 4 years, the GOP should consider itself lucky- getting drunk with power and partaking in all the excesses that the Newt Gingrich led "Contract with America" railed against.
