happy tears
Hey, I cried like a baby too. I’m slowly coming out of my euphoric dream state and starting to understand the reality of victory. Every five minutes I make another realization of what this means for every individual in this country, and on this planet. It’s almost like (and pardon my mommy analogy here) finding out you’re pregnant. I feel like I saw 47 pink plus signs last night, and there’s a 2 month gestation. I’m having some very minor “oh shit, this baby’s going to have to come out of my vagina” worries so far. For one, and this is very very minor, Dems are going to have to learn to take blame once again. It’s OK, I’m sure it’s like riding a bike. Second, and more serious, we’ve inherited one flaming hell of a mess. Third, and this will keep me awake at night for the next 4-8 years, what if some confused redneck or dismounted oil bigwig decides to do something stupid? Can we make Obama a little pope mobile? Think he’d go for that? What about like, an astronaut’s helmet? Those things are bullet proof, right?

such a good night. still crying. tired. crying.
bawled like a baby and happy as can be!
I felt the same way but didn’t want to say it. I have even been picturing the pope-mobile too. I just have to trust that his security detail has the same fears and the best intelligence and will keep him very safe. Did you see the bullet proof glass to his right and left during the acceptance speech? I pray that no one does anything stupid. The scary thing is that the people who hate Bush are normal, like you or me. The people that hate someone like Obama are NOT the normal ones.
PS- Hi, I’m a new reader of your blog!
Hahaha, oh boy, yes a big mess to take on, but he is the man to be in there working on it. Thank the good Lord he won.
