President Obama

WOW!

I don't know about you, but I am pretty darn excited today. Today represents so much to our country and to the world in ways that we cannot even fathom. Sure, we have a new president-elect, the first black president, and the first person who has ever inspired our country this way in our whole generation. But even moreso, today represents a crossroads for all of us, our country and the whole world. Our economy is changing drastically by the minute, the definition of capitalism is shifting, and people are taking notice that we deserve better and that we have potential to do ANYTHING we set our minds to. I hope you agree and help keep this momentum alive!

Now, nobody knows if Obama will be capable of doing every single thing he sets out to do, you can't please them all, ever, especially in politics. But, I really do like our chances, and I can honestly say that I have never been so excited to be an American. Seriously. Think about that, have you ever been? Is that cheesy to think about?
We all salute the flag from childhood on, but when are we ever filled with emotions, passion when we do so? Well, there is no reason we shouldn't. We live in the greatest country in the world, and I HOPE that our new direction will breed a new American feeling amongst us all.

When was the last time the USA had a political icon that the world was excited about? You can argue Reagan, maybe Clinton, but that's it. Our last 8 years have been pathetic, and I look forward to a bright future with someone at the helms that I for one am proud to have represent our country.

BACKWARDS THINKING and the deal with Prop 8

I am still in shock as many of you probably are, that Proposition 8 was passed making it illegal for gay & lesbian citizens to get married in California. I am shocked that more than half of our population would knowingly vote against something that has nothing to do with them. Is this world really that ignorant? Or do people really have a problem, something deep inside against this?

Either way, apparently the time is yet to come for gay and lesbian basic civil rights. It realy is mind-boggling that people can't accept other people for who they are.
