Shhh, History is Made

It made me sad yesterday that nobody in my family was celebrating Obama's win.
I sat and watched with tears flowing down, holding my half black baby with my niece in Kenya, such an important day and THANK GOD for the outcome. I'm left to assume that they wanted the other guy to win.
It makes me so perplexed to see people use the word Christian to justify voting for McCain. John McCain has cheated on all of his wives and slept with Anna Nicole Smith. He was born in 1936....a hundred years ago. Talk about unhip and uncool. In my family we shouldn't relate to that AT ALL. His wife Cindy inherited $100,000,000 when she was 18 and in my family we shouldn't relate to that either.
My true problem here is that I feel McCain supporters truly believe themselves to be morally superior to the rest of us who happen to include YOU in our hopes and dreams.
It's o.k. that you voted for McCain but it hurt me deep to have not one mention of this historic election mentioned to me at all by those that I love the most. And to think that my mom might have voted to keep old whitey in charge is insulting to everyone. She didn't say a word about it yesterday.
I cried tears of joy ALL DAY!!! Wish she could feel my pride.

Also, sources other than Fox news will quickly and scarily show you exactly what we would have gotten from another republican leader... what has George done that you are proud of? Did he keep any of his promises? Hasn't the past 8 years been the hardest ever?
There is no christianity in bombing those that you cant control with words.
There is no christianity in melting ice caps and drowning polar bears.
There is no christianity in the red states, only racists and weapons and fear that the past has left us in a huge pile of crap.

Hopefully you can be happy that the person I voted for ACTUALLY WON FOR THE FIRST TIME. I haven't rubbed in the fact that George stole a few elections just like I don't condemn republicans for wishing things were still holy and safe and predictable. My Jesus is not an elitist bastard and I'm pretty sure he wasn't white either.
Sometimes it's not enough to talk about the weather and sports.
I havent felt good about our country in 8 years. SUnny was born on GWBush's FIRST day in office. Holding Elijah and watching Obama make his speech was THE BEST DAY FOR MY FAMILY and I wish that meant something to everyone else.

I love all of you but need some help understanding what it is about White old guys that makes you feel safe? If you cant PROUDLY say you voted for whomever you voted for than maybe you're not proud of your choice.

Caribou Barbie didn't help. I have nothing in common with HER either.
And neither does ANYONE else I know.
I voted so that my kids can marry the person who loves them the most.
I voted because the planet has no voice and polar bears cant vote.A
I voted because we need to end the stupid wars already.
I voted for Obama because he has read all 7 Harry Potter novels to his kids and likes to go to the beach.
Because he admitted to doing drugs instead of just denying it like GW and friends.
Why did you vote for the guy you voted for?
