One word ...

Obama-rama.

That is all.

I'm not one to advertise my political views. Mostly because I'm not even sure what they are myself. However, I must admit that I was cheering for Obama. And therefore, I was very excited to see that he had pulled it off ... and not even by a slight margin - the Obama-Biden ticket STEAMROLLED the McCain-Palin camp.

Historically, I would not consider myself a democrat or a liberal, or whatever. I grew up in a very conservative family - dare I admit it? - my father pretty much worshipped the ground that Rush Limbaugh walked on. However, as I grew, I began to form my own opinions. When people find out that I'm catholic or Christian or whatever, they automatically assume that because I'm religious and Christian of some kind, I must be a conservative republican. I'd like to characterize myself as a liberal Catholic, if there is such a thing (I'm told there is).

Are there things I disagree with in Obama's politics? Sure. I am 99.9% sure that no one will EVER agree with an elected official 100% of the time. However, I do believe that Obama will bring great change to the US - and I also believe that change will be for the better.

The American people have spoken. To those who disagree with President-elect Obama, it's okay to disagree. However, give the man a chance. He hasn't even had his first day in office, and people are calling him the Anti-Christ. That's ... wow.

Give him a chance. You never know what will happen.

Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama and Vice-President Elect Joe Biden. Good luck!
