Congratulations to Obama.He is a fine and intelligent man and may be what the world needs right now.Everybody should hope that his term is successful and that his decisions are good ones.But.Why did James Martin choose those two words from the statement of Archbishop Wuerl to act as headline?.Simply we rejoice!No word of caution.No thought for those with no direct say in the election .Those who depend on us to speak up for them.No ,not a word.They (the unborn) are what Mother Teresa called the "little ones" and are voiceless.So those on the margins feel they now have a voice and I hope it is so.Archbishop Wuerl allowed himself a lot more room for reflection than simply "We Rejoice".He spoke of those who most certainly have no friend in the new White House or perhaps in the offices of America.The "little ones" who have never been a cause celebre.Who have nobody but "right wing lunatics" to fight their corner.God Bless Obama and God Bless America,but I feel that blessing will be slow in coming if they both continue to ignore the cry of the least of His brothers.

David Power said it so well. There is no need to say anything more.
