I watched Fox News for five hours last night

As Obama's victory became undeniable, Brit Hume moved beyond grief and anger with Karl Rove. And Juan Williams justified his existence.

    President-Elect Obama

    Williams spoke from the heart. No one in this country with any emotions or feelings could not have been moved last night -- most to tears. Even these staunch Republicans from Fox who would not perhaps openly reveal those emotions. I'd like to say to Sarah Palin -- All "real" Americans spoke yesterday with their votes. All "real" Americans can be proud Americans today. We can overcome the fear mongars, lies, negativity and the obstacles before us, and Barack Obama is capacable of leading us through these difficult times. The elitiest have had their day and have driven us to the ground. He will have much opposition and greater scrutiny than any other President-Elect. If he thought this election was difficult, wait till he meets the challenges ahead. His pundits will remain outspoken and will fight him all the way, even many in his own party. He must be strong and choose very experienced, intelligent and trustworthy advisors and cabinet members.

    God Bless America, President-Elect Barack Obama and his family!!
