The morality, responsibility and consistency of those who voted for the winner may be gauged by the statement - which I have already encountered three or four times - that they "hope" that those of us who warned them against him were wrong.

Hope.

They have elected a politician to the most powerful post in the West based on what they hope he will prove.

Such appalling insouciance and irresponsibility is certain to be punished. God may delay His punishment for sin - often to the next world - but He never intermits anything to the punishment for stupidity, which is always paid, and paid strictly and with plenty of interest, here on Earth.

OK, we shall see. I admit that Obama has good advice - he is currently conferring with Warren Buffett, among others - and in general, the Democrats have long been much better on budget issues. Reagan wrecked the federal budget; Clinton slowly brought it back under control; Bush II wrecked it again. That is one thing one should hope will be better managed.
