All I can say is "Wow!"

I have just watched all the news accounts of Barack Obama being elected 44th President of the United States! I am just blown away by this historical precedent and so happy that Americans in droves have chosen a leader who I think will lead us down a better road.

People didn't fall for the near constant smears, innuendo, and outright lying from extreme right talk radio and TV pundits. They voted in their best interests, I believe.

For me, as a progressive Democrat, while I fully supported Obama it was with a little trepidation. While I may have sometimes felt Obama is definitely not, as the far right said, the "socialist" or "radical leftist", and actually a moderate and sometimes somewhat conservative Democrat on some issues, I still think Barack Obama will make a great President.
I am proud that my country has come together to elect a great person to lead our country and show all of us and other countries that the American people can come together for common good.
Phew! Sorry that sounds a little too "politician" for me but I mean it!

A surprise candidate!?

Gee! I am just blown away by this news! I had read on Grant Miller Media that Grant had taken his name off of lists for various awards. Well, it looks like Grant has decided to devote himself entirely to a run for the Presidency! I would be one to support Grant's bid for the White House. He would be a President who could make us laugh as he guided our country. We would laugh with him as he delivered speeches involving butt humor, we would giggle about his descriptions of different kinds of raunchy sex antics, and we would laugh about Milton Berle's whang! His speeches would be clear and concise-hell, contrary to the President now in office, he would actually be able to pronounce words from a speech!

Are these the really important issues!?

Hey, I know that some of this is the media's penchant for following the lowest common denominator, and finding dirt to kick up, but the candidates have got to try and get their campaigns back to talking about what is really important to the people-the war in Iraq, health care, the economy, jobs education. Barack is taking the high road I think, but he could get suckered into the type of mudslinging that Hillary is doing.

Otherwise, we might have to hear more of Glen Beck's irritating giggling and cackling!
