One of my life's Great Days

Jan 20, 2009 12:30

Dear U.S. voters that exercised their right, no matter how you voted this 2008 election: thank you.

I am only 36 years old, and there's been far too much ugliness in those short years. )

obama is my president

A magnificent day. Just the hope he's inspiring, the renewed pride and determination is worth it, you know? <3

It is an amazing day. History in the making and all that. :-) But I can't help but feel a bit sorry for the man. Why, you ask? Because he has SOOO high expectations on him from all over the world... I wonder what happens when he can't live up to all those expectations? *ponders slightly* I am an optimist, but a careful one. ;-)

Congratulations on your new President. And I DO mean that with all off my viking heart!

Oh, sure - and I will say that he appears to know that the expectations are crazy high. But seeing as you're not here, I'll describe the energy racing through the country: people are hopeful, people are yearning for change, people want to act.

THAT is what will make the change. One man alone can't do it, but he sure can inspire the masses!

Thats true. :-) I truly hope he can continue to do that during all off his four years. :-)

You are a white woman who listens to the Roots. And we blacks are okay with you doing it. YOU'RE WELCOME STONEY.

There's a LOT to do, but I just feel that it's going to happen - that people are finally getting their heads out of their butts and looking beyond their own noses.

It's a GREAT day.

Oh, ♥, Stoney. This post was beautiful.

WTF, Barack Obama, is he going to make me cry EVERY DAY THIS WEEK? 3-0 in his favor, so far. >:|

OMG he's making me cry over and over!! I'm smiling while I'm doing it, but damn. I have such a crush on him, and his family, and the Bidens.
