http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brdjDyzqyWQLet us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection."
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/articles/2008/11/05/prepared_remarks_of_president_elect_barack_obama/?page=3 I appreciate your frustration, but those 60,000,000 people did NOT elect someone who delights in partisaned politics. Not gonna happen.
