The 2008 election. What happened in my home.

When Obama was announced the winner at 9:04 pm I didn't feel any different. I know I should have felt something, disapointment, proud, anguish, something. But, no. Nothing. My Mom had the same reaction that I did. Nothing. She told me she usually felt this way after and election. Not excited, just happy that it was over with, like a thorn in your side that you finally pulled out. She never was so excited that she was jumping up and down saying "Oh, boy my candidate won!!!" I felt the same way. I didn't really like either of the candidate. But, my Step Dad was disappointed. He is a" flaming" conservative and voted for McCain. He didn't really like him, he was just the "lesser of two evils" as he put it. I would have to agree. If he didn't have Palin as a running mate I probably would have voted for him if I could have voted.

My fear for the future under Obama as a president would him going back on his word, like most politicians do. How do we know that he won't be like every other politician? The rest of the world is pretty happy that he became our president. I wonder if any country was upset. If so which countries?

I have heard a lot of people aying that Obama will get assasinated. I am kind of scared that that might come true. Even if I didn't support him he is still going to to be my president, I am afriad. People are crazy things, we can take someone's life with out any remorse. People like that make me angry. How can we be so heartless?
