Canada <3s Obama

[meresy]

People are wearing buttons and cheering randomly downtown and talking about world politics on the bus and lamenting the stupidity of gay marriage bans and high-fiving each other and yay.

*feels a little happier*

Irrespective of some setbacks, I think things DO look sunnier today and it's not just the twenty degree weather. :D

ETA: Polls say

I'm very disappointed in California but I'm happy the people in Colorado showed some common sense: Colo. voters soundly defeat anti-abortion measure.

[meresy]

Yeah, the choice ballots didn't seem to do too badly. Thank goodness.

Like Michelle said, for the first time in a loooong time, I'm finally proud of my country.

Baffled by California, *glares at Arkansas* --but proud of my country.

[meresy]

It's a pretty big step in the right direction, I think. :D

Maybe we can finally put our "America Is Scary" shirts away. :P

I'm really bummed about the ban on gay marriage today, but still...OBAMA!!! I feel we have hope now which I hadn't had in years. I want the war to end and our country to mend it's fences with needed allies.

[meresy]

It is a major drag, yes. :(

But, you know, OBAMA. SOME things are changing. :D

*waits for Obama-Harper smackdown*

[meresy]

Ha. I wouldn't take a bet on that. :P

Our Robot Overlord is SEVERELY outclassed. SEVERELY.

Bonus: if the US adopts some kind of carbon trade system, we'll probably have to as well. :D

Our Robot Overlord is SEVERELY outclassed. SEVERELY.

Yes. Especially since our new Prez is neither Robotic nor Overlordly. I would pay a lot of money for a front row seat at their first meeting.

Bonus: if the US adopts some kind of carbon trade system, we'll probably have to as well. :D

Didn't the Liberals already try to sell something like that?

[meresy]

Yeah, the Liberals and the Greens did, but obviously it didn't fly. However, given the inextricable union between Canadian and American business, whither you go we shall probably follow.
