I voted yesterday.
He voted yesterday. 
Even she voted yesterday.
We voted for him.
He lost.

Does John do funny things with his hands when he talks? Yes. Does he make my heart race with excitement? Not really. Is he George Bush? I really don't think so. Would he have been a strong Commander and Chief? Without a doubt.

This is my new President Elect.

Did he make history last night? You bet. Is he a brilliant public speaker/campaigner? Yep. Does he have a unique and interesting background/story? Ya. Can he possibly deliver on all of his world changing promises? Probably not.

I will support my new leader. I want to believe that he has the American people's best interest at heart. I want to believe he will not jeopardize our freedoms. I admire his accomplishment. I want to trust him.

So why does my stomach start to knot when I'm watching his acceptance speech (on my only fuzzy channel 6) and he starts promising people around the world "in forgotten corners" that we hear them? Why am I so anxious about his save the world policy? Why did I lose so much sleep last night?

Oh, yea. Because change is here.

My stomach is in nots too. But what has happened has happened, and hopefully it will all be ok. Ross has already called me this morning to go and buy shells for his guns. HAHA
Hey, you forgot about abortion and same-sex marriages...it should be interesting. Didn't he say he would pull out of Iraq if put in office? All hell's going to break lose, hopefully he is smarter than that. If nothing else, maybe, he will lead, really lead. He is a much better speaker, better looking and hopefully he can help everyone out with the economy. I am happy for afican americans but hope race had nothing to do with it. I can't blame everyone for voting for him. Where the H is George Bush?
so intertesting huh? i told eric last night, i knew he was going to win but why am i so sad that he actually did?
i also want to know what has america come to when we start electing celebrities as our leaders? i guess that could be what is wrong with the good old USofA, we let celebrities rule our country.
i too as well am very interested in seeing what happens to our economy, iraq, our health care and so on.
like dad says, we should support our leaders whether we agree or not with them.
so here is to obama, lets just pray he doesn't screw us up to much.
Amen to addies comment. I almost posted a whole post about it but I thought it wouldnt be so supportive of him. Oh well. Im nervous as hell. Especially getting my self into a large debt store. Oh well. I will pray for him. I expected it but really I am a nervous wreck and my husband and I both lost some sleep last night. I was literally sick...and so was he. I hope I am all wrong about the guy.
Great post. I totally agree with everything you said. The only thing that helped me sleep was knowing that WE voted and that was all we could do. Amen to Jessica's comment too. I'll pray that our President proves me wrong with the worries I have. I am mostly just sad about how many morals this country is apparently missing.
thanks for that. i've thinking of what to say. then i read yours and caitlin's posts this morning and AMEN! i did a post that links back to yours. i hope you don't mind. and amen to all your sisters comments too! i think it's great he is the first african american president. but it's not about that. it's what he stands for, what he plans to do, who he associates with. we're a bit uneasy with it all too..
You and your sisters always say it so well! I too am so scared, and especially thinking of bringing one more little spirit into this world of choas. I think we all need to pray for him and for all of us, and I know that no matter what the Lord knows we are here. I liked what President Packer said on Sunday at Stake Conference about how things are going to change drastically, but it doesn't mean that we still can't have happy families. I'm going to try to hold onto that while my stomach is in knots too!
(I'm so glad you guys are in our ward to! Your kids are SO cute and sweet. We will miss Kirsten so much but you are a good one to take her place!)
loved your blog...as usual... got a question... can you ask your sister (kirsten if i can read her blog :) would be cool to hear how she is doing) if not thats cool. but if I can, my email is bethable@yahoo.com
So True...I just really don't want to know what things would of been like if all of those people that voted for him didn't get their way...can you imagine? H really would of broke loose. By the way I love it that you can cuss on your blog. Let's just hope that his term is not long enough to really {change} all that he thinks he can. How come you can write so gooder than Me? Do you Have some type of education that I didn't. Is it because I went to Pinedale and you don't??
