[SOC] Congratulations America

[w6jd at comcast.net]

I  only hope that Mr. Obama can meet both of our expectations.
We've had 8 years of totally inept, reactionary and down right
dangerous "leadership". The first time I heard Obama speak I
knew that we had to work hard to elect him to our highest
office. There are many challenges and we can't realistically
expect everything be done at once. Hopefully people won't
expect too much too soon.

73,
Doug
