The waiting game is over. The sense of being in limbo ends. The moment we have a President designated, it means an action has occurred, and resolution is in sight. Then, reality hits, and people s veneer of patience and politeness falls away, disappointment, frustration, recriminations surface and Monday morning quarterbacking begins. We need to have concern and caring for more than ourselves.
Cooperation is paramount.
The new parent, or in this case the President is immediately faced with one of the most difficult tasks in human relationships, blending a family or in the vernacular of political parlance forging a new alliance. Whom ever leads our nation will start without the usual force of a large faithful following. In fact, the pied piper s followers may well contain a historic share of a raggle taggle exhausted and disgruntled following. Many will feel that the victor has claimed his place of honor through chicanery and unethical means. Voters will experience distrust, and mistrust and though Casey may not have struck out at bat, there will be minimal joy in mudville on inauguration night.
