I'm pretty proud of a good chunk of America right now. I have faith in Obama and I am so happy to have that feeling. The faith that I have in him combined with the happiness I have for finally having faith in a president again has periodically made me stop what I'm doing and cry for a second. The idea that I can look to our president as a role model is comforting. Besides that I feel he has the best interests of the world at heart, not just America.
It's weird how he's compared to Lincoln and Kennedy for a few reasons. Besides that they were both... I don't even want to say it. But besides that they both were so exteme. I mean Lincoln caused the civil war, and Kennedy invaded the Bay of Pigs. But then Lincoln ended Slavery and Kennedy averted the missile crisis and a million other incredble things. Just kind of weird that he is already being compared to people who did great and awful things and people who had an end I don't even want to think about.
I'm also pretty pissed at McCain's people right now. Not at McCain, he's alright I think. But McCain's people make me angry. With all this coming out from McCain's aides about how stupid Sarah Palin was, why did they pick her to be vice president? If they knew as they say they did, that she was so terrible, why did they try to convince us (unconvincingly but still) that she was great for the job? That is just plain dangerous for America. Why would they flat out lie and try to conceal that fact that she was pretty terrible?
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt most of the time. So I say, "well, McCain thinks his way is best for America" But trying to give us Sarah Palin when they apparenntly knew she was absolutely terrible for the job, that is not wanting what's best for America. McCain's aides coming out with these remarks is not covering their asses, it's making them look even worse and even more selfish than I thought they could ever be. They were really trying to feed us a candidate they knew was terrible. WTF?
