What an election! What a night! What a time in history. Though my more republican readers may be a bit disgruntled, I am happy with what transpired on November 4, 2008. Mother would have been in her element! I liked McCain until he identified too closely with the current administration and chose "Paris Hilton" as his running mate. What was he thinking??? Pays to be true to yourself - win or lose. Hopefully this choice really is a President for all people and is sincere at reaching "across the aisle".
And the world saw how democracy works. We could have been republicans or democrats or we could be Americans. We could be subjects or citizens. I am so proud that we chose to be citizens who changed our government with ballots not guns. Where else in this world would this be a right and a privilege backed with law not weapons?
Was online live with the local paper and the other political and community contributors. At first it was fun and relevant, then it broke down into petty complaining and name-calling like any other chat room. Logged off about 9:30 as I was bored.
I think last night was summed up very crudely, yet eloquently today by two gentleman in a seminar I was evaluating. One said to the other "can't get any better than this- we have an African American as president and pot is legal!" Well guess it all comes down to bread and butter doesn't it? And we still haven't lost our sense of humor. We will be cracking jokes when the bomb drops...
Hooray for America!!!
