Election is Over...YAY!

wow...finally we can stop hearing about the Election....
Compassion won over fear, so, for the first time in a long time, I am actually excited for what the next 4 years will bring....
However, this campaign was way too long and way too dirty for my tastes, hence the reason I am super excited that it is over. The rest of the world is breathing a sigh of relief, as is most of this country. The world recognized the importance of choosing Hope, Compassion, and Change over the same old fear-mongering tactics of the past 8 years. Finally the USA agreed with 99% of the world in this regard. Finally we had an undisputed Election. Finally we have an intelligent person as President. I have never been a Democrat because I do not like Party Politics, but I can say that I am proud to have Barack Obama as my President. He definitely is the 'breath of fresh air' this country has sorely needed for years. My only hope is that he does not get bogged down in all the of the crap of which this country has become part. His acceptance speech was magnificent and only gives us more Hope that he will deliver on at least MOST of the promises. It was an historic election for sure, but I found it phenomenal since Compassion ruled the day. No more fear mongering, no more hate speech, no more illegal wars. Yes, I said it; our war in Iraq is illegal when looking at the Geneva Convention and other World Law, but we skirted the legality and obviously have been paying the price for 8 years. Hopefully Barack will end it in a timely fashion (how about January 21st?).
I am finally NOT pissed off at our electorate. I am finally NOT pissed off at the Democrats for choosing such painfully terrible candidates (hello John Kerry and AL Gore!). I am hopeful for the future in this country now for the first time, possibly, ever.
