And so the results are in.....

I have been silent these many months on matters politic. Why? I wished to provide space and time for all of our good intentions and wishes to take hold, give our elected leaders a chance to change direction. I wanted to think well of our president, congress, our fellow citizens and certainly our direction.

I am sad to say that I think the Era of Hope, hope we can believe in is over. I ask that you please read the article by Drew Westen in today's NYTimes, Sunday Review section. He nails it and it is not a pretty sight. I am not advocating that we turn against our president; but I am suggesting that we may have misjudged him and he is not up to it.

Now what ?
