chaya and i got to see barack obama speak in washington square park tonight. i had to go back to work, so now i am sitting here, thinking all about things. like for instance, what an amazing president barack obama would make. and, how strange it would be to feel proud of the person in the white house, instead of horrified and dismayed.
but i mean, i had all my hopes pinned on gore in 2000, and as we are aware that did not end well. then i was sure john kerry would beat bush, after all the vomitous stuff bush did in his first term. but no! the country preferred bush, because, um, he's not a flip-flopper?! ahhhhrrrgh! it makes me insane just thinking about it.
so this election, i had kind of planned on not caring. i was going to be all, "democratic, republican, whatever. i don't give a SHIT anymore." but now i am imagining that wonderful moment when the speaker gets on the podium and says, "i now pronounce you... THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, mr. barack obama!!"
ehh. it kind of sucks to have a candidate you desperately want to win!
