Political Revolution

I find it so interesting that the Democarats are being as cocky are they are. Yes, they did an amazing thing taking over the houses of Congress. But there is quite a lot to do and none of it is easy.

Iraq is a mess and it will take a lot of work to make an appropriate exit. None of the solutions are going to be good. And none of them are going to be easy to sell to the general public. They need to be careful not to put too many eggs in this basket.

Energy needs and the environment are high on many people's lists. In order to make changes here, there are going to need to be changes made by many people. And many of these people are not going to trust the new technologies.

I think that the biggest things that they need to remember is that the people want to be listened to. The current adminstration (and many of the former Congressmen) have/had the opinion that their way was the only way. No one wants to be ignored. And We may not have all the answers but in the mix are many good ideas.

I think the Democrats need to be humble and appreciate what they have been given here. They have been given a chance. A chance to help the people be engaged again. If that could happen, it will be a true revolution. One that this country could really use.
