OBAMA WINS

[Lucifer]

so could you call me your leeeeeltle amulet from now on?

like Jon Stewart said, i look at him and i see a human. he said it jokingly but i know he meant it, and it was true. 99% of politicians are not human. i see Obama really cares, and he is an actual person. that's why i'm so excited, not just cuz he's black. he's someone whose integrity i trust.

i don't wanna sound corny but i think we've been given a gift here and we should drop the cynicism for once and just see what comes.

How do we know which "human"  OBAMA really is, though?

He is an undefined variable in an impossible equation.



(Don't get me wrong, I like him, but that also worries me.)

[Pyraxis]

Why not just see what he does and watch what results it has? I don't see the point of speculating about whether he's "human" or not - of course he's going to be hiding things, of course he's presenting a public appearance to his advantage. Anyone under that much scrutiny would be an idiot not to. But if he changes even a few of the right things, he'll be doing better than the last guy.

No, you will always be the aurorean beaming of luminous jestery, adorned of lucent wingedwitchiness*, radiating feminine prominence to all the dark places heavily gathered of boywood in the hopes of catching the glimpse of a single ray,  to me.

Amulets are too short-lived.




*be sure to pronounce that wing ED witchiness.

I plan to, but have you ever bought the latest and greatest most cool whatever toy/tool/enhancement and within days come down with a severe case of "buyer's remorse?"

I tend to make the opposite mistake and choke down on impulsive creativity until it's lost its explosive spark.  

Didn't stop me from lying awake late last night grinning though, completely surprised to suddenly feel hopeful about this country. At the moment I don't care if Obama turns out to be a letdown, it's still good to see a bit of heroics about our leadership.

I don't know enough about politics to be able to make any remotely accurate speculations at this point about what the future will bring.

i had the biggest grin on my face.

i had the biggest grin on my face.

I watched the election coverage on the edge of my seat until well past time to take my morning walk, the whole time terrified that something was going to fuck us up, again.

The politics in a nutshell:

Is he truly as centrist as he appears or have we elected a leftwing socialist like his late-to-the-table running mate. I still say that the most compelling reason for each candidate's choice of running mate was to ensure they would NOT be assassinated.

You think McCain would have been at enough risk of assassination that Palin's existence would have been an effective deterrent?

me too, i was pretty scared mccain would pull a surprise winzor attack at the last minute. i was crushed 4 years ago, couldn't be too optimistic this time until they spelled it out.

the reason that obama will be a great president is due to human nature....self interest.


obama has the chance to have history honour his birth as a national holiday.  is there a greater honour?  he has every motivation to try his best to right this ship called the US.  there is very little motivation to sell out to the corporqations like many presidents do.
