Win or lose it is the speech that says a lot about the person.  Both President Obama and Governor Romney gave gracious, appreciative speeches thanking all of their families, supporters, and the other person who won or lost.  They both seem to agree that it is time to put the party lines aside and work together to improve America.  Hopefully, this can happen at all levels of government/politics. 
    I worked from 6 am until 11:20 pm at the polls yesterday.  I did not come home and check the results due to being exhausted so I obtained my results online this morning.  I worked at Precinct 5 we had 972 voters.  At this Precinct Governor Romney won the Presidential race.  When we were packing up one of the gentlemen loading up equipment informed us that President Obama won the election per the information he heard on the news.
    For Michigan, hopefully this means a rising economy, more jobs, more incentives for education, less foreclosures, and a brighter future.  Time will only tell what will happen.  The leaders of this Country are doing what they feel is right for the American people.  Some programs will do well others will fail we will never know unless we try.  All of the Michigan proposals 1-6 were rejected.  I felt some of the proposals were moving us in the right direction, especially the renewable energy proposal.  The problem is they were attached to the Constitutional Amendment.  If they were proposed as laws I believe they may have pasted.  People do not want to touch the Constitutional Amendments.  With that said nothing will change at this time and we will carry on as always.
Congratulations to all those candidates who won and may you do an exceptional job for your constituents.  For those who lost the election, hold your head high you fought a good fight and won the reward of knowing you did your best.  The future is as bright as our dreams will take us!
