History in the making

Whew! It's been awhile since I have posted. I have been so busy and that is so refreshing to say. It's currently a few hours after the 44th President of the United States has just been announced and I must say that I am excited, and that's coming from a registered Republican. Whether you like it or not, history was made tonight again for this generation. I am so proud to live in a country that is breaking barriers everyday.

A few things that I want to touch on. I was listening to the radio on my way home tonight and SEVERAL people called in saying how scared, terrified, pissed off they were that Obama was leading the race. The common theme of all those callers was that they were all Republicans, and had NO SUBSTANCE what so ever. They reminded me a lot of McCain in the earlier presidential debates. All they could say was that they were scared for our country, but not why. I have a theory as to why people are nervous about Obama being the next president.

1) People are afraid of a man with the name Barack Hussein Obama and they are afraid to say it. You don't want to sound racist, but being the red-blooded American that you are, its nerve racking.

Tough shit. The election is over and whats done is done. You might as well embrace it or at least try to be optimistic, because;

2)People are tired of the same old shit. People are tired of the Bush administration. People are tired of the last 8 years. They want change. Any change is good at this point and in my opinion Obama is the lesser of two evils. The Bush administration has tarnished the face of the Republican reputation and that is why Obama is our new president.


Ok enough preaching. I am getting married in 5 months and 1 week and still have not found a dress. Time to start panicking! Anyway, I am tired. I am going to bed.


Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow!
