44th President of the UNITED States of America

The longest peaceful transition of power in world history – nearly two years – is (thankfully) over. My candidate lost, but this is America, and I will not be led off to prison tomorrow because I supported the losing side.

The networks have declared Barack Obama the 44^th President of the United States of America. Now is the moment for us all to focus on the UNITED part of that title. In the greatest of American traditions, all of us must now put our partisanship aside and unite behind our new leader. And those of us who pray, should pray, every day, for him and for our country.
