"There is no leisure about politics." - St. Thomas Aquinas

The country has spoken and we have a new president. Whether you voted for Senator Obama or not, I think we all realize that he has a lot of work ahead of him. Amidst the election hoopla, which will go down in the history books, I think people forget how incredibly difficult a job it is to be president of the United States. I often wonder, why would anyone even want that job in the first place? Who really wants to attempt to please 305 + million people?
Well, Senator Obama does.
And no matter your party affiliation or stance on our new president, we should all look forward and truly live up to our name - the UNITED States of America. Let's not be hypocrites here. We are privileged enough to live in this country and vote. The least we can do is respect the man that's going to be in charge and hope and pray for the best.
