As a Republican and as a conservative, I gave my all to elect Senator John McCain on November 4, 2008. And I daily fought against Barack Obama, the naivete of his foreign policy, and the liberalism of his domestic agenda.
But, starting this inaugural morning, I recognize President Obama as my President and as the Commander-in-Chief of our military. I know that his election will be seen worldwide as a symbol of American opportunity. And I hope and pray that he succeeds in fulfilling his commitment to our nation.
