And I disagree, most in the nation not only NEED but WANT to celebrate what we believe will be a reversal, if not an outright halt, to the despicable and criminal policies and actions of the past eight years.

If, after Obama gets into office, he does NOT deliver, then it is up to US to hold him accountable.

It's not that I approve of escalating the war in Afghanistan or not prosecuting the BushCo criminals or the other things of which you speak. I don't. But what Obama has said ... or what others have said, supposedly on his behalf ... during this seemingly endless transition period will not keep me from celebrating in the meantime.

There'll be time enough for accountability, once he is actually in office. But I'm willing to give him a honeymoon period of goodwill because he is, by every measure possible, so much of an improvement over the a**wipe who has been in office over the past eight years that celebration is simply a no-brainer.
