I remember back after the 2004 election when Obama won the Senatorial seat,  my friend Matt and I idly noted that his charisma, character and intelligence showed that he was on the fast track for the White house. Well it seems we need a political commentary show as we were correct.

Obama is coming into this seat with quite a lot on his plate with the economic problems, the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the international image which we need to repair there is little doubt he will be tested and tried.

His politics are radically different than my own but now he is to be the President and so I support him. We can take our political differences up later.

His campaign has changed the political landscape for future elections, and it has opened the door to the power of a well organized and well motivated ground force.

Congratulations to you sir.
