Ultra-conservatives are dressing themselves in sackcloth and ashes, bemoaning the doom of America.
Ultra-liberals are crying and shouting with joy at their supposed messianic figure.
I'll be happy with something in between the two perspectives.

President Obama
Now that everything is said and done, I look forward to seeing what will happen in Obama's presidency. I'm just relieved to have the whole election behind us.

I doubt it will be the death of the republic.
I think Obama ran as a human Rorschach test, and his supporters will have conflicting expectations of him. I suspect he will be more of an empty suit than anything. I hope he's adaptable.
Even though I'm one of those ultra-liberals, I too am hoping for a middle-of-the-road approach. He'll get the most done if he pisses off both parties on a regular basis :-)
While I didn't vote for him (and my vote was very reluctantly cast at all!) I am hoping for the best, despite my strong disagreements with the ideals he has spoken of in the past. I pray for his success (not personal success but success for the true betterment of America.)
