The majority of Americans, just over 50 percent, have decided that they would be more comfortable with four more years of Barack Obama's on-the-job training. So what should the remainder of the country do?
TOP TEN THINGS TO CONSIDER THE DAY AFTER
1. If you have young children, hug them and tell them that they are the most important parts of your life.
2. If you have adult children, call them and tell them that you are proud of them and they are the most important parts of your life.
3. If you believe in God, go to a quiet place and have a conversation with Him. He listens. Really.
4. If you are spiritually ambivalent, seek out a church and surround yourself with like minded, though imperfect human beings, who find comfort and inspiration through the Gospel according to Jesus Christ.
5. If you have a job, dedicate yourself to being the best employee or employer you can be. Remember: Work is man's salvation. Scores of people depend on your best efforts, regardless of what you do for a living.
6. Look around the world. Americans still live in the greatest country in the history of the world. Would you rather move and disrupt your life or take action here to make your community better.
7. Hate and bitterness destroy one's own soul and do nothing to the object of your hate.
8. I think we all know that the Republican House (except for the Tea Party members) is not going to implement the real steps necessary to address the collapse of the U.S. financial system. Do we really want a Republican President at the helm when the collapse comes in the next four years?
9. Prepare for the worst, but do not let fear consume you.
10. Love thy neighbor as thyself. I know it is hard at times. It may not have an effect on your neighbor, but it makes you a better person.
