The Most Amazing Thing about the American Political System


I wish I could remember where I first read this: "The most amazing thing about the American Political system is that the government changed hands and the tanks did not roll in the streets." This was written about Watergate over 30 years ago and it still rings true today.

Congrats to President-Elect Obama. Congrats to Senator McCain. I just heard McCain's concession speech and it was a celebration of the joy of being able to run for the presidency with the continuing joy of being able to serve this nation.

Let us pray for both men, their families, and our nation.
