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?

I voted for Ralph Nader and I voted NO on 8. No one and no proposition I vote for ever wins. I agree with you on almost everything except the Polar Bears thing. I only wish Dad owned Anheiser Busch and I could inherit so much money. I certainly wouldn't be working two jobs now. I'm sorry you are so sad about it. I really didn't even know that you voted or were so political. The cost of Cindy's outfit for McCains first speech was more than my house. They are totally not in my league.
Kiss the kids and I can't wait to see you in a few weeks (if you're still coming). Love you!
I voted for Obama as did Zac. We were together when the victory was announced. I have been working up in Beverly Hills so my blogging has been limited.
I am totally thrilled that he won! Totally!!!
I am sure Allison is too!!!
I was spazzing out when I wrote this...Mom practically calls me to tell me who got kicked off Dancing with the Stars so I was expecting some sort of comment...I realized it comes down to abortion....even though abortions are performed everyday during a Republican presidency she is SO full of LOVE and false HOPE.....
Cant wait to see you all,too!
PS this is the first time I DIDN'T vote for Ralph Nader. Now THAT would truly be the day!
Without having read this post I saved the LA Times Nov. 5 edition that read:
"It's Obama" for you...
I'm slowly coming down.
I voted for Obama and watched the whole thing on tv that night too. Tears were coming down my face too. Nobody lost...this country won big time. People are finally coming together like true American should.
I am proud to be an American "by choice"
Wish I was in CA to see you guys.
