Cleaning
I spent the entire day drinking caffeine and cleaning the entirety of my apartment with Fox News on in the background. I mean the entire day. From 9 in the morning until right now. Obama had quite the big day. And the more I saw him BS'ing on there, the more angry I became, and thus, the more that got cleaned. I even scrubbed down the bird cage and got the crevaces that I usually don't bother with.. and I threw the birds in the shower!
I just get so upset about the whole thing because I care about politics. I don't know every single name or face, but Scott and I watch O'Reilly every night and I read the paper and listen to the radio. Most people I know don't really understand the issues and don't quite "get" what things like universal healthcare are - they just know that they sure sound good! They see someone like Obama on the screen.. he's young, he's articulate, and he doesn't have that southern drawl that made so many people think that Bush was "stupid". So they say hey, this guy is promising CHANGE! He's going to fix my problems. The government is going to take over and take care of me so that I can forego personal reponsibility!
It all just makes me feel ill, watching people who don't know anything get so easily sucked in by the media. I don't care what anyone says, 97% of the black population voted for him... BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! How did this not make the headlines? Is that not racist? Many black people voted for him because he's black, many gay people voted for him because he's more likely to break down and allow gay marriage than McCain would. These are not the most important issues to our country, and are not the sole reason people should be voting for a president, but hey, they are.
Needless to say, I should make every inauguration day of a Democratic president my psycho cleaning day, because damn.
