+12 million votes

Yes, Cube, today was a good day.

For the first time in the history of me voting, the people and proposals that I voted for actually won. Holy crap. Bring on the pot-smoking embryos, and lets see if the rock star can deliver on his promises of change. And so, today was a good day because:

1. I no longer have to hear McCain refer to the American people as "my friends." OMFG did he overdo that shit. Did his speech writers run out of ideas?!
   
2. The bleeding in my ears caused by Palin's voice will begin to subside.
   
3. Half-black, all black, Chinese, Vulcan, whatever Obama is, I don't care. What I do care about is this: for the first time, a U.S. president will NOT be an old, white-haired, white dude.
   
4. We will be given a short reprieve from the numerous and mostly FALSE attack ads that have plagued all facets of our main stream media for over a year now.
5. Should Obama actually do a "good job", baby-boomers will be confronted with another reason to overcome the closet-racism that their parents taught them so well.
6. The rest of the world (wait, you mean there are other countries on this planet?!), may hate us a little less now.
   
7. Savior and bringer of positive change or not, at least our president-to-be can form complete sentences... with real words.

I did my best to judge the character of two men who wanted to be the leaders of my country. I hope that you did the same, regardless of how you voted.
