Camelot Anyone?

We have a new President-elect today. I have read and experienced a whole menagerie of responses. On our favorite morning news show, they were gushing - without any objectivity I might add. It felt a lot like the munchkins on the Wizard of Oz dancing and singing, "Ding, Dong, The Witch is Dead." If I remember right, the current President is still President. At my small group meeting this morning there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. Around our office there was sincere concern and wonder about what is on the horizon. One person I talked to didn't care about the issues of the day. They were just wondering when their check from the Obama government was going to be in the mail. And as you can imagine, the blogosphere and Internet featured a full range of emotions.

Emotions are just that, emoting. On days like today it is "hyperbole run amok."

Now for a reality check I think we can all grab onto regardless of whom we voted for: I sincerely hope this all works out. Like they were juxtaposing on our favorite news show this morning, "Camelot anyone?"
