The election is over; President Barack Obama was re-elected for the next four years. Probably if some American people would watch two old movies "Australia" and "The Blind Side," sometimes when visually seen you can relate better.

Maybe they would change their minds, hearts and have a conscience of good judgment, harmony and bipartisan behavior. If we don't get along with each other we could have people bombing America again. How can we help other countries when we have racism, scandals, deceitfulness, lack of unity on our own American soil? The pot can't talk about the kettle. Trust me, they are watching our behavior.

Probably some people are still bitter and angry and can't accept defeat. But President Obama continues to speak out and fight for the economy, health care and the American people -- even the people who did not vote for him.
