I'm excited Obama will be our next president!!! I'm excited at the prospect of change for Americans and of change for America as a member of the world's nations. I'm also happy that prop 8 passed in CA- kind of a miracle actually. A lot of people are happy and a lot of people are unhappy. I read offensive and defensive and hurtful comments from people on both sides of the issue, and I was disappointed about that. It's a sticky and complicated topic. As I read people's comments about the outcome of the California election results, maybe I shouldn't have been, but I was kind of amazed that everyone on both sides of the argument assumed that if one supported Prop 8 then one also voted for McCain. Guess I'm a little weird... but I also thought that since Obama won in CA and prop 8 won in CA, that can't be true.
Anyway
YAY OBAMA!!

yeehaw! it's a new day. I'm proud of America for electing Obama. maybe I am completely reading into it, but when I walk through my neighborhood (in which I, as a white person, am definitely in the minority) I feel like there's this new sense of pride and possibility. it makes me happy.
I am also excited about the election results. Being at BYU-I, I have heard lots of positive commentary on Prop 8 which is a give-in. BUT I have heard constant negativity about Obama. People (and I'm talking about the young Mormon culture here in Idaho) are ignorant and rude. First of all, they assume every Mormon is pro-McCain. Not so my little darlings. Second of all, they are extremely racist. Who could believe it? Ugh ... anyway, I'm excited and I'm pleased with who our new President is.
Yea! for Obama and Yea! for America. I am also hopeful that this will start a new era of foreign policy... or foreign politness :) I might be quite a minority here in Shasta County, but I'm happy on both outcomes!
