All I can say tonight, maliwane has said better. I'd link to her post, but I don't know how.

And I must say I didn't get the hatred she did, seeing as I was too afraid to admit that I was happy with the turn of events. Too afraid to get the kind of hatred that was spewed at her. But I hope those of you who are so happy don't receive any, although I am ( Read more... )

It's true that I would have been disappointed if McCain had won but at the same time I understand that the president is not the country, the president is not a king or a dictator, and there is a system of checks and balances that usually works quite well. I was sad, truly heartbroken, really, in 2004, but I didn't have hatred for anyone who supported Bush and I still don't. That's part of the beauty of the US, that we can have a peaceful transfer of executive power every 4 to 8 years, and I trust that I'll live a long life and it won't always be the outcome that I'd prefer, but sometimes it will, and most of the time that's good enough for me.

Speaking of your SOP, haven't heard from you in a while regarding the family situation. I've got the holidays on the braaaain and I came accross the letter you sent me last year in a box of Christmas cards. It made me think of you guys and I hope you're doing better this year...

As I have said, I am expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. And as a couple of days have passed, I'm not as bummed as I was. I have always had great hope and pride in this country and I'm going to keep that regardless of who leads us. I refuse to be like some who said of Bush, "He's not my president!!" Obama is president of my country, so he is my president and I am going to support him and pray for him everyday and hopes he makes decisions that are good for the entire nation ( ... )
