obama-love
the thing is, i keep going back and forth about whether i want to go downtown on tuesday or not. do i want to brave the crowds, live with the hassle of public transit, deal with the madness that is going to be the district of columbia on january 20th.
then i remember how i felt on election night, and i don't know how i could possibly not be there.
i've had my issues lately with the obama administration. it makes me sad every time i hear them sliding away from a progressive position to a middle of the road position - and i know that this is a center right country, and frankly i don't care. i don't know why it surprises me that good politicians sometimes act like good politicians and say the popular thing to get the votes, but it always does.
but i stand by what i've said all along. the man is less important than the movement. and so when i see the outpourings of joy and excitement, when i hear the way that people talk about change and hope, when i see how cool it has become to be politically responsible and engaged in your community, that's when i feel good about president obama.
