The big secret of the cosmos is that the author of evil is smaller than the author of goodness. If we collapse everytime there is a trial (because of our lack of faith in this fundamental fact) then we get nowhere. Quite true, Obama is probably going to brag on his usual vapid nothing, and we have to steel ourselves as best as possible for it. But an iterative process is going on here and when the good dares to make a move, it will make progress in the big picture.
