Obama Wins

I am so relieved that the President has won the election. For me it is not so much what he can get done. It is much more that he is far closer to my vision of what should be done about healing, poverty, peace and justice.  His opponent is a good man but enthralled with a pro-business, free market, individualism point of view that is antithetical to the poor, disadvantaged and minorities. He gave a clear choice for Americans about the vision and actions necessary to a humane government. Stances of anti-gay, anti-women, anti-abortion, anti illegal immigrants etc. show Romney and the Republicans less than caring.

However, 49 % of the American voters share his point of view. It saddens me that we are nation so divided on ethical and economic issues.

Learning to live with this vast ambiguity is the mark of maturity and better mental health.
