Well, on Nov. 4 Ill. Sen. Barack Obama, became the 44th president of the United States and the Democrats dramatically improved their count on Capitol Hill.  Democrats are now controlling the House, the Senate and the White House for the first time since 1995, when Bill Clinton was president.  This will prove to be an interesting time not only as a country but also within our perspective market.  I'm somewhat ambivalent insofar while, this country obviously needed change, I wonder if the seeds of change are not more formidable from beneath the soil rather than on-top.  All metaphors aside, unarguably, this election has historical deferrals but the ramifications are not so easily gauged.  And while I, alongside many others, want and yearn for some change, I believe that in the foreseeable future, this change will occur in degrees and not in kind, as many in the media tend to exaggerate. Lets wait and see!!
