Anybody feeling a sense of regret among Obama voters

I spent a great time talking to my sweet, but sometimes clueless daughters about the impact of this election. They tend to see themselves as more progressive - pro gay marriage, global warming, etc... (before you guys flame away, please know I did my best -- this is college academic influence on them). The sense I get from them and from my conversations today with friends and acquaintances, is that there seems to be a overwhelming atmosphere of regret or to be more graphic and explicit...an oh s__t, what did we just do attitude.

I don't see an in-your-face hurrah jubilation like 4 years ago (except among the DBM)...just a quiet, somber reaction. I wonder if you guys are sensing that and if so, is it registering in Washington? The dynamics are definitely different this time around and I hope it is seen as unsettling to those in power. I'm feeling an edge, a vibe of unrest, uncertainty.

Wow. That professors has guts! I hope his job is not threatened as a result. Was this a history class?

Yes. History. I’ll let you know if he ‘disappears’. ;>)

That is one of the best, most rational post election reality checks I've read.

I used to hear, but never fully understood, how Scripture comes alive for some people, but thanks to current events and an awareness of history, NOW I am one of those people.

I have to give obama credit for being such a source of inspiration and motivation. Not exactly what I thought I had been praying for, but the results are.

I haven't been this motivated and inspired in a very long time. I guess obama's good for something after all.
