Hooray! Obama Won!

Damn, I'm glad Obama won the US Election last night. It's not so much I hated McCain, mind you. I think he may be a decent human being. I felt sorry for him that he was kept as a POW and tortured during the Vietnam War. Aside from this, I really felt that he would dug us deeper into the wars over in Iraq and Afghanistan to the point where our military would never leave. Plus, I didn't agree with his economic policies, his perspective on how to deal with health care issues and more.

Fortunately, I live in one of the states that voted Democrat (blue). It's good to know I exist amongst those with at least a modicum of intelligence.

Unfortunately, we still have until January to put up with George W. Bush. Hopefully, he can keep out of trouble until then, but I doubt it. Perhaps we can stick him in an adult playpen until January. The "adult playpen" idea sounds kind of like jail. Actually, that's where Bush belongs.

However, let's focus on the positive. We have reason to celebrate and hope. Barack Obama will be our president. He may not be able to solve all the problems in this country but I believe he will actually try. With Obama as president, we'll be heading in the right direction.

I'll step off my soapbox now.
