Now that the dust has settled

You may not like President-Elect Barack Obama but there is no denying his magnetic persona. As I sat and watched the election last night, I was just amazed at the number of people who were drawn to see this man.

Grant Park, Times Square, Los Angeles, Atlanta, the White House, and Kenya – all filled with people hanging on to Obama’s every word as he made his victory speech.

I have never seen anything like that.

I truly believe that his ability to invoke a feeling of hope is what is going to help move America from its current position to a better place.

I’m not naïve in believing that he will be able to deliver on each promise. No politician has ever done that. But, I think he possesses that innate ability to inspire that is going to help bring us together and heal the wounds of this election period.

There is no way we’re going to make it if we stay divided. I hope Obama realizes this and truly works with everyone to find the best solution.

I have a feeling he will.

The next four years are definitely going to be interesting.

The Wizard has spoken
