"After a long campaign, this is now a time for Americans to come together. It is a long tradition among Latter-day Saints to pray for our national leaders in our personal prayers and in our congregations. We invite Americans everywhere, whatever their political persuasion, to pray for the President, for his administration and the new Congress as they lead us through difficult and turbulent times. May our national leaders reflect the best in wisdom and judgment as they fulfill the great trust afforded to them by the American people.
"We also commend Governor Romney for engaging at the highest level of our democratic process which, by its nature, demands so much of those who offer themselves for public service. We wish him and his family every success in their future endeavors."

Thanks to the First Presidency & Apostles for being gracious and reminding us that our leaders need God's help. I hope to follow their counsel.

@liberal ted
Shoved down our throats? He was just reelected by the majority of Americans. the right really needs to find some new rhetoric or better yet drop the rhetoric and join the conversation of trying to find reasonable solutions.
