Teary Eyed

I'm sure anybody who has spent, oh, ten minutes with me, knows I am a Democrat. I think that the husband tries to hide it from his work buddies, but he's not too successful at it. The point is yesterday was a very exciting day for me. I think it was also a very exciting one for the country. It's not just that Obama is in the political party I support or that he is the first African-American to hold the office. It's that he is somebody the country is excited about. He brought a passion back to politics, I believe. It reminds me of the way people saw Kennedy. I hope that he can make a difference in the country, as well. I mean, obviously I don't have a job, or a real one, so I've been hit with the whole economic problem, I guess you could say. And I also know that it is possible that the troop escalation could include my husband. But I have faith that he can do what is best for the country, and that he will be able to lead us through the hard times ahead.
