our long national nightmare is over...or is it
So to echo the tone, we're not out of the woods yet. But it seems like there is an end to this dark and uncertain wood from which we previously could not see where the straight path lay. That's partly how a people get out of a mess like this, that they believe they can and will. But of course, we still have the descent through hell to account for as unemployment lags behind and carries along its blight of suffering. The spotted leopard to block our path as it were.

It comes into more popular use thanks to warcraft of all things. But I've always found it helpful to describe certain things that it's not actually capable of effecting.
