A week has gone by since the election and it seems like everyone is settling in to the idea that we actually have a competent president for the next four years.
As someone who works to get politicians to help and protect the poor and downtrodden, I sincerely hope that the momentum that got Obama elected doesn't slow down. We still have a lot of work to do. And it makes a big difference when society is not indifferent to the many problems we still face in our society. The Friends Committee on National Legislation has their annual meeting this weekend and the front of their program has a big quote from FDR that says "You've elected me. Now build a movement to keep me accountable."
What a remarkable statement. And so true.
