[Grovenet] Congratulations America, you have just elected your first ...

Agree with you 100% on his being the best qualified, etc., David --

You said: "I want him to choose the best person for a position without regard for non-essential features like height, weight, dental structure or shoe size."

Amen to that. Good grief, a president-elect who wants to be president to *all* of us ... Who wants us to be the *U*SA ... 

Remember right after 9/11/01, when Americans felt united -- not only with each other, but with other parts of the world who mourned with us?  (Then we had over 7 more years of Bush/Cheney, bullying and roguishly running roughshod over anyone who wasn't one of "them," leading this country into a slow & painful destruction.)  Well now I feel the sense of that unity again, only in a *celebratory* way.
