Evoking such American ideals that all things are possible and faith in the power of our democracy, President-Elect Obama promised to address our challenges ahead in a bi-partisan way. Quoting Lincoln, he said "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection," meaning that we must stay loyal to our shared values of individual liberty and national unity as we work together while remembering that the strength of our nation comes from "the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope." President-elect Obama stayed true to his campaign theme of hope for a better day and that we can address the many challenges ahead while staying true to our American ideals including working together.
That is a noble endeavor for President-Elect Obama to undertake in the heated partisan environment that Washington, D.C. is currently engulfed in. True progress will only be possible not by pursuing a partisan agenda, but by seeking sensible, bi-partisan solutions.

I am a right-winger, yet I watched in awe last night as Presiden-Elect Barack Obama spoke to the thousands in attendance at Grant Park. I felt a growing sense of pride as I watched my next President. I turned to my wife and said, "we'll always remember where we were on this famous night." I am proud to be an American and excited to see Obama's leadership qualities inspire millions. YES WE CAN!
