Thank Goodness The Elections Are Over!
I have never felt such relief that an election cycle is over!
Mind you, not one person i voted for won, but i am glad that it is all over.
While i acknowledge that the election of Barack Obama is historic- he is the first person that has ancectors from an area of the world other than Europe elected to the office of President. That is significant, especially given that the US is a deeply racist country.
I also am aware that many people supported him because they believe that he will bring about significant change to the US, but, at the risk of busting bubbles, i don’t think that that will happen. To get elected he had to pander to the center and the right (inside and outside of the “Democratic” Party). All on has to do to is look at the people he has announced that will be part of his administration. None of them are close to “liberal” even, much less “leftist”!
Obama has talked a good talk. Now let’s see if he walks the walk.
