Gracious....even in Defeat!!

Throughout this whole year, the Presidential Race has been heated between John McCain and Barack Obama, which really isn't any surprise...it's Politics what would Politics be..without mud-slinging. Alot of verbal attacks between the 2 whether it was through debates or commercials. But all of that came to an end, when the nation chose our new President, and it wasn't John McCain. Now, for those that are reading this, your probably going to assume that this is going to be Bash Fest on John McCain...no, no my friends it's just the opposite!!! Never had I been so moved by words coming from John McCain in his concession speech. He walked up to the podium, and admitted his defeat to Barack Obama, instead of speaking of what he could have done if he were President, he spoke extremely gracious and congratulatory words towards our new President, shooshing the crowd in front of him who were booing everytime John McCain said Barack's name. He, acknowledged that it was an honor to have ran against him in this Presidential Race, and that as a nation we should support him.....for the good of Our Beloved country. I, was moved to tears...Gracious, is an understatement. John McCain fought for our Freedom, and endured years of Torture as a Prisoner of War, his love and willingness to do anything for this country is inspiring. I, have such a great Respect for him, and all that he has been through...for our Freedom. I, undoubtedly believe that he will work alongside Barack Obama to help us with our economy, the war in Iraq, and the many other issues that we may have. This country is a better place with John McCain...and he should hold his head high for a good fight. Much Respect to you Senator McCain.
