Portia9,
God bless you. My father came here after WWII and (despite some European chauvinism) was profoundly grateful for the blessings of America. He started out an an intellectual liberal Democrat and turned conservative in short order when he realized how many Americans had no idea of how lucky they were to be in this country.
He (long since passed) would be quite distressed at Obama’s victory. I always thought that the European mind set was a bit too existental/negative, perhaps because of their history. As an American, I am hopful we will survive Obama. Our lifestyles will suffer a bit and we face real challenges to our freedoms, but we are a very resilient people.
