As you can see, this is regarding the election.

I spent most of Tuesday evening waiting in line to vote for the very first time. It was several lines actually. I never got my card, so I had to go through a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit. Anyway, I finally walked over to my voting machine (my dad was at the one next to me) and I voted. I voted straight democrat. In reality, my dad voted straight republican, and I knew our votes wouldn't count seeing as were voting opposite parties. What the hell did I just do all this for?

I realized what I had done when I saw the headline, "Barack Obama elected president". Even though I had cast one little vote, I was a part of this. I helped elect the first minority president. For months, I had said that Obama was only the lesser of two evils, but in reality, I think I did like him.

I felt very emotional. I nearly cried, like many of the other minorities in America. As a person of (half) colour, I feel an extreme sense of pride in this. Colour doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is the message, and hope.

I don't agree with everything Obama says, and I won't agree with what he will do some of the time, but after watching his victory speech, I feel a great sense of confidence in our President-elect. Somehow I feel that President-elect Obama actually cares to some degree, because look at the big pile of shit Bush left on his plate. Fuck, I wouldn't want that job.

I thought McCain's concession speech was very gracious, but WTF was with that crowd? Obama's crowd clapped for McCain when he was mentioned. Even though I didn't vote for the guy, I have a great deal of respect for Senator McCain. Seriously. Even though I don't like his policies, give the man some props.

This election has a been a rollercoaster, a long one. It's hard to believe that it's over. I'm ecstatic to have Mr. Barack Obama as our future president.
...But I still think Biden is a dingleberry...

You can disagree with me all you want, but as of right now, I stand behind him whether he is black, white, mixed, asian...or Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Athiest.

That's all I have to say.
Yes we can.
