To preface this entry, I did not vote for Obama. I don't agree with his issues and I don't think he has enough experience to be our next president. However...
I was apathetic about this election as it came down to the last minute. I firmly and truly believe that whoever was named president was going to fuck something up. It just depended on which part of government or the well being of our country that was going to be screwed. And I still believe that. Neither candidate was well rounded or had enough requisite variety to govern completely, therefore, neither candidate was going to address all of the many major issues and illnesses that plague our country. And therefore, I see both candidates as wonting.
I am extremely concerned that the democratic party has taken both house and senate. That scares the shit out of me, honestly. I believe in a balance... and there is NO balance now. Honestly, I'm afraid of the implications of this.
However, I would like to also say that I am very interested in seeing what happens over the next four years. I am interested in seeing if all of the change actually takes place that has been promised...
...interlude...
Barack Obama is giving his speech right now... in Chicago... 100 miles away. History in the making... chills. My emotions are running... both at the gracious concession speech by McCain and the acceptance speech by Obama. Chills.
... okay, back to where I left off. We'll see what happens with national security and international relations under Obama's rule. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
But thank God we finally have someone in the presidency that is not a rich, white, male of privilege.
... Well, Here We Go.
