Only a few more days till Christmas. The Christmas spirit has been tarnished some this year due to the economy and here's hoping that Obama and his team can indeed turn the country around. When Bush was elected in 2004 the watch word was gravitas. It looks like the watch word for this administration will be pragmatic. Whatever the watch word something needs to be done and I am willing to give Obama every opportunity and support him all I can to make it happen. Americans have weathered much worse storms and come out stronger and more determined. Lord willing we will do it again.
