Democracy Prevails

Fuck me, friends, I am so happy.

What a historic moment. I am ecstatic to be alive right now. This is the moment I will be telling my grandchildren about. This is the day when America rised up out of rasicism, out of fear, out of doubt, to finally elect someone who can bring real change to Washington.

I believe in Obama. I believe he can take, not only the US, but the world out of these dark times, when it seems like we are heading towards disaster, when it seems like the worst days of our lives are ahead of us. I believe he can open the hearts and minds of Americans and move us towards a new era of progress.

You know, when I watched Obama's speech tonight, I had a few tears tug at my eyes. America has really dragged itself and the world through the meat grinder these past eight years. They plunged the world into another bloodbath, then pulled us all down into a recession with them.

I watched the election coverage four years ago. I was devastated when Kerry lost. Just devastated. After that, I lost all faith in democracy. All of my faith in the american political system was gone.

After that night, all republicans were evil, and no votes really mattered, because the republicans would just fudge them anyway. But this election has put my doubts to rest.

Tonight I believe in Democracy, I believe in Barack Obama, and I believe, for the first time in my life, in the judgement of the American people as a whole.

What a great night to be alive.

Christ, I am not thinking straight. I went to a really great Obama party tonight, and I am a little wasted as a write this. You could probably tell that much. Oh well, I don't care. I only have two readers.

I love you guys by the way.

This is the night where we pick ourselves up off the ground, and scream so everyone can here, despite all that has happened...

Yes we can.

Happy November Fourth everyone
