First, congratulations to President-elect Obama.  As the President of the United States, he deserves our respect.  I will certainly disagree with a great many things he says and does, but regardless he’s my President.

Second, looks like Rove was the closest on predicting the electoral college.  A number of Senate results are still outstanding but the Republicans [...]

Nearly 125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer, Total Is About Double The Death Toll In Iraq

So let me suggest Obama’s response….

Obama’s Plan for Ending the War in [Chicago]:

“Here is the truth: fighting a war without end will not force the [Chicagoans] to take responsibility for their own future. And fighting in a war without end [...]
