Obama Wins: Now What?

Home > General > Obama Wins: Now What?

Posted On: November 5, 2008 by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

I rarely offer my views on subjects outside of personal injury issues on the Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog because I don't think anyone really cares. No, really. I'm pretty sure about this. But today is a pretty special day so I'll make an exception, regardless of whether anyone's listening.

I was more thrilled by Obama's win than anything that did not directly involve me, my family or friends since the Washington Bullets won the NBA Championship in 1978 (somewhere I have the championship ring I swore I would never take off). I found it so odd to have such a personal moment share by literally billions of people. But I'm struck by Michael Gerson editorial in the Washington Post today that Obama's victory "is likely to unleash an ideological and vengeful Democratic Congress."

I hope Gerson is wrong. But I fear he is not. We won. The challenge for us now is to not be jerks about it and join hands with Republicans to try to make a better country.
