Congratulations to President-elect Obama

There will be plenty of time to talk about what President-elect Obama has to do, how he meets the expectations he's raised for his administration, and much, much more.

For tonight, it's enough to say "congratulations." We are Americans first, and therefore I wish the Obamas health and happiness. It's even possible to wish them success -- so long as it is in keeping with the best traditions of American liberty, virtue and prosperity.
