Holla back for CHANGE!

So the election. Wow. Thats all I can say. Reading other people's blog about the election is what actually inspired me to voice my opinion about the situation. But you know what? I am constantly told that I voice my opinion way too much and I usually come off the wrong way. So now I'm a little unsure if I should really say what I wanted to say about Obama.

I honestly was never crazy about Obama or McCain in the beginning. Actually, I never really got into politics all that much until this year for whatever reason. The first time I really got interested in who was running was when me and a friend got into an argument about why she was going to vote for Obama. When I asked her why, she simply said "Because he's black. There doesn't need to be any other reason." And she was dead serious. Thats when I realized that this year, people's decisions were probably going to be based on a lot of things other than policies. To me, people are just people, right? I live in a state where in some areas, white might be the minority, and thats fine with me. I have a million and one friends who are black, in fact, one of my very best friends is black, so race is like whatev to me.

I don't agree with Barack Obama on a number of things. I also don't think McCain's plan was all that brillant either. But to me, it seemed pretty obvious who was the better choice. I was shocked that Obama won. I'm not sure how the next four years will go, but Obama's what we have, so what can you do? I do agree that it's great we have our first African American President. In all of history, I'm on the earth to witness that, so it's cool. I just kinda wish it had been an African American with better policies and experience than Obama. But am I an Obama hater? NO. He won. I'm giving him full support. We're all living in this country, so we all need to get it together as one, you know? What good is hating a president going to do for anyone?...Exactly.
