President Obama

i'm not terribly democratic or republican... or even political. i haven't suffered ill effects of the economy down slopping... not that i've noticed anyway. gas went down; that was beneficial. it's slowly climbing, however. so, i didn't attend an inaugural party yesterday or even watch it on tv. i played warcraft instead. i was aware of the day's events, though. i had little faith in GW Bush. especially because of his inability to speak and amazing ability to displace blame. he didn't make me excited to be an American. i did not vote for Obama. i did vote, however. so, i exercised my right to have an opinion, right? my opinion, my soap box, my stance... or whatever you want to call it, is hope. i want to really be proud to be American. this is the greatest empire to have ever been built. we have so many freedoms. things aren't perfect... but, i'm a woman. i'm entitled. i have rights. . . Obama isn't necessarily black.. but he is ethnic... and he's PRESIDENT. how insane is that? it's because this is America. disagree with him if you wish... that is your right... but know that anything is possible. and i have so much hope for us. my candidate didn't win, but change is coming and it's what we all need. despite his presidential style, i think Obama will help us all have faith in us again. i have so much confidence in this new beginning... for America, and for me.
