I would just like to add to the last blog I wrote about the election. I just hope Obama was picked for the right reasons. Although it is an historic event that an African American was elected president, I just hope that was not the reason a lot of people voted for him. There a lot more important reasons to elect someone to run our nation besides their skin color...

Election

I agree with Art when he said I'm glad the election was over. I wasn't sure how to react to the results though. I guess we wont find out until Obama is finally in office and we see these changes actually happen. I have to admit I did not vote myself. On top of the fact I wasn't registered in this state, I was on the fence about this decision and I wasn't really sure what would be the best choice. There is nothing I can do about it now, so I am just looking forward to see how Obama plans on improving our nation. I am going to stay optimistic about our nations decision and hope that only good comes out of it. There are a lot of scary things (war, economy) being handed over to someone else to deal with. I just hope the people in charge as of January will do the right thing.

Election

Well, I am glad that it is finally all over. Now we get to see what is going to happen. The promises are now over and now we get to see what Obama will do. As a supporter, I am very hopeful that this change will be real, and that our country will take a new course. The best thing about this election is that we finally know that Bush is on his way out. I hope that Obama will live up to his promises, and lead this country into a new era.

So today I finally got it.

When I heard about Obama even running for president I thought all the same "this will be historic" and all but I never understood what the big deal was until today. You see my father is exactly 40 years older than me, so he was actually my age when the Jim Crow laws were ruled unconstitutional. So really, in just one generation the African American race has gone from fighting for civil liberties to president. PRESIDENT in just one generation. I am really excited now to see how much people can change their thinking if you just give 'em a year or 40. Now, me coming from the generation where race really isn't an issue could not comprehend what kind of win this must be. I saw Jessie f'ing Jackson crying yesterday. It is very strange and I can't really comprehend the mindset of thinking that people are different but DIFFERENT - colored, black, or whatever. I am actually thankful that I did grow up in the generation where the mindset was much more open and accepting, and for the first time I think I am glad that I didn't understand something.

Now, I did not really care for either candidate until yesterday. When Obama won his attitude, demeanor, and the really f'ing scared look on his face just impressed me. He still didn't win me over until he said he was going to get his daughters a puppy to come live in the white house with them. Obama actually won me over not with his issues on the economy, healthcare, or anything else except the puppy. Knowing that he wasn't going to give me an ivy league bullshit answer about anything at that point in time, he just wanted to announce that his baby girls were getting their first puppy since he won. Knowing that he didn't get up there and make unrealistic promises to the country, himself or his family made me feel a little more sound on what he can accomplish for our country.

election day blues (!!)

Ask any of your grandparents if they recall the "West Side Story" movie. Lyrics from the song: "Tonight"
Tony singing:

Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light
Oh mooon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!

Abortions - yes or no?

Sarah Palin believes that if a father rapes his 15 year old daughter, she should keep the baby...




Too bad George died, I was thinking about writing him in lol. Yes George, Palin is anti woman.

"Black has nothing to do with the Arabs are trying to sneek this guy into our country!"

In times like this, people who spend way too much time on the internet run across videos that make them giggle. Everyone has the right to vote, but maybe they should give breathalysers in the booths too. I am glad to see this woman voted for Hillary... I think?
