"The real question Americans are asking is, “What has President Obama actually accomplished?” It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain — President Obama won’t be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action." - - Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele

Honestly, I would have been pleasantly shocked if the Republicans had shown even the slightest degree of graciousness. I wonder how many of the dwindling remainder of Americans registered as Republicans will finally follow the light out of the dark side.
