Like Buzzflash, I’ve long admired Steve Chapman, an old-style, true conservative. He’s got a great column today on the faith that the President-Elect had to have in the people of America:

His decision to run last year was revealing, and not just about his ambition. His most vociferous detractors portrayed him as a closet radical with anti-American friends and a socialist agenda. But it would be hard to find anyone who has placed greater confidence in the decency of his fellow citizens and the potency of American democracy.

To imagine that the nation would entrust the most powerful job on Earth to a young black-skinned man with a Kenyan father, a Muslim heritage and a name that sounds like it comes off a terrorist watch list—that was an act of supreme faith.
