What Will Happen Now?

What will happen now?
I’m mentally exhausted by the election.
The drone of endless commercials, Internet accusations, polling phone calls, media surveys, yard signs, billboards, mailings, the incessant bias of television news and so-called entertainment programs, comedians cum-political analysts, talk radio.
I have, at this time, only two world-view views.
1. It’s time to suck it up and be Americans again. Not partisans. Not Democrat. Not Republican. Americans. Americans who don’t spout venomous hatred like that spewed for eight years because of some perceived hanging chads, but good ol’ Americans who rally ‘round the new president to make sure we remain the finest nation in the world. Loyal until proven incompetent.
2. In this economic crisis, marketers need to get their act together by changing their act. What worked yesterday doesn’t work today. Confidence is now the product and service. Confidence in the day. Confidence in our capitalistic system. Confidence in our ability to rise above the patent greed of the financial system. Confidence that well-intentioned Americans will, once again, rise to the occasion to build a better day.
What will happen now? Only the inimitable American spirit, innovation and ingenuity will tell. Do we still have it?
