President-elect Obama

I congratulate Barack Obama on his election to become the 44th president of the United States. I was born during Eisenhower's term, had my first political awareness during Kennedy's term, voted in 1972 (the 26th amendment setting the minimum voting age at 18 was passed the previous year) and voted in each election since. I wish for success for the United States in the next four years, not for the success of many of the proposals that Obama made during his campaign. Getting elected president is an accomplishment.

To the extent that Obama calls for "unity" around the elimination of any state law restricting abortion, I call for division.
