Best Day EVER

I don't consider myself too into politics despite the fact I work a few blocks from the actual White House. Although I have my opinions, I didn't think I cared that much. However, this morning when I found out for absolute certainty that Obama won by an indisputable landslide and the Republicans weren't suing, claiming hanging chads, whining about the popular vote....well that just brought tears to my eyes. I have a new restored faith in our system of Democracy. The people have spoken, and really been heard.

I have previously expressed frustration over everything being so neck and neck that I was really preparing myself for the worst. I was pretty sure after the last election that it did NOT matter what way I voted that you really could buy your way in. I can not express my relief that not only was there a clear winner, but no one is disputing it. Thank you Republicans for sucking it up. You really owe us all one anyways.

I"m amazed at how happy I feel. Like maybe, just maybe, there is an actual light at the end of this tunnel. Maybe someone with actual brains is going to work for this country (not take endless vacations and ignore everything). I have something I haven't had in 8 years, hope! Oh glorious day, I have drank the Obama kool-aid and it tastes GOOD! To top off my dancing in the streets political joy -and I really may just hang out by the White house now instead of contemplating t.p.-ing it from the gate- there was an actual breakfast in the office this morning. Like eggs and meat and cheese omlet along with the bagles and cakey things. OH HAPPY DAY. OH BEST DAY EVER!!
