It’s been a while. Apparently there was some political fallout in my family after the election, and I was warned not to be too… cheery. In fact, my sister was informed that her Facebook status upset an aunt. But as far as I know, no older relatives check this site. And if that’s wrong… I hope those relatives realize, this isn’t about their misery, it’s about my happiness.
And I’m really happy. Firstly, because this is the first time the presidential candidate I voted for won. (Hopefully my average will stay above 1/2 from now on.) But mostly, because I feel America has a chance of getting her shit straight now. I may not agree with all of Obama’s policies, but I definitely have a ton more in common with him than I did with McCain. At least, the ‘08 McCain.
My parents talked about how a lot of Vietnamese Americans supported McCain because not only was he a war hero, but after he came back to America, he worked to allow so many Vietnamese to emigrate here. I told my parents, though… I appreciate that he’s done good things for our people in the past. But if elected, he, and Palin, after he dies in office, would definitely destroy our future.
But anyway, without further ado, here’s the meat of my post -
That second picture is particularly awesome. He’s got Pac-Man eating the Apple logo!
Just wanted to let you know that I, too, had more in common with the president elect! Looking for change. Take care.
