It doesn't matter, now.
... who you voted for, who you wanted to win, what your race, what your moral standings... it doesn't matter now.
Why? Because the election is over. The country has spoken (minus about 10,000 absentee ballots due to VA's huge-mongous screw-up), and they've elected a President. So it doesn't matter what you think.
It's time to start praying for President-elect Barack Obama, his family, and our country.
It's time to start respecting him. It doesn't matter if you voted for him, or even if you like him. He is going to be our leader. And, like it or not, he deserves our respect for that very reason. So let it go if you're upset, and take a chill pill if you're overly excited - Because none of that matters now.
You may be curious who I voted for. Does it matter? I'll tell you, but it doesn't matter. Even though I live in a very liberal state, I still voted conservative - I voted for Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. But like I said, it doesn't matter. They didn't win the elction, and I'm not crying. It's time to be proud of my country, not add to it's division.
America has spoken. And they said they wanted President-elect Obama. So now we've got him. And it's time that we all started to give him our respect. So here's to you, sir. May God lead and guide you in the way that you run this country. May you earn respect with foreign leaders and diplomats, and may you do all that you can to bring pride back to the hearts of all Americans.
*raises glass* "Cheers." *Takes a sip*
So, since like ALLL of the headlines seem to be about having an African American President-elect for the first time in the history of the United States of America, I figured I'd add to it, just for fun.
I won't lie and call this "Wordless Wednesday", (I mean look at all of the words!), but just for jollies, this is pretty much what our New History books will look like. I'm sure they'll be hitting the presses ANY day, now.
Whether or not color should matter, sometimes, to some people, it does.
Happy Hump Day!

Fabulous post, Sarah. It's refreshing to hear someone who didn't vote for Obama saying something positive.
Word.
Just posted the same picture - love it!
Politics aside, this is a great moment in our history and I cried along with the African-American's for their struggle, for our past and with great hope for our future.
