What an amazing evening with the triumph of Hawaii’s own Barack Obama. As readers who have followed this blog know, we have been a strong Obama supporter from the beginning of his candidacy. The emotional exhale with his victory last night was felt not only by me, not only here on this little speck of rock in the middle of the Pacific, but all over this blue planet.  But the time will come oh so soon when when we must all inhale again and fortify ourselves again to deal with the seemingly intractable problems in health care. So, for now, I’m upbeat and optimistic. The country is ready to shape a new future for her citizens. We will all be in the bus and along for the ride. Let’s hope it’s headed in the right direction.
