I’ve watched my fill of CNN and it’s time to go to bed. Undoubtedly, I’ll wake up to find that title of Mr. President has taken on whole new meaning, and hopefully, a whole new world. I think back as to where the Republicans went wrong and my opinion is that they were short-sighted and sent a 70-year old man on a wild goose chase. What Bush and friends never realized is that little people do eventually grow up! When they grow up, they don’t listen to their elders and they rebel. What Obama proved is that we had an American Revolution for change – a peaceful act - capped off with the ultimate screw you to The Administration.
Bush, Republican Senators and Congressmen (and women) failed ALL Americans for eight years straight. They did nothing but instill fear in all Americans, screwed up innocent lives with the Patriot Act (Obama, hint – hint) and made our lives miserable when traveling abroad.
Even our Freedom, which we all took for granted, was stymied at airport terminals. Blacks, Hispanics and anyone - who was not white - (I am) are subject to profiling. Neighbors began reporting their neighbors to Homeland Security (Obama, hint – hint) and we were all thrown into a melting pot of fear.
I’m not white, I’m Caucasian – you’re not black, you’re African American. I’ve been saying this to myself for years, as I simply did not care for the Black/White statement, as nothing is black or white. I believe that when I wake up in the morning - we are ALL simply “Americans”. We care about each other, we respect each other and we start helping each other. We don’t allow those with agendas to separate us from our goals nor pull us apart as a people. The world will view us ALL as winners (in the morning) and we will ALL collectively gain the respect we ALL deserve.
OK, time for bed. I know I have a dream waiting for me tonight and I’m just glad the nightmare is over.
Hi Gregg – Well at least we’ve got the results we wanted. I’m certain Obama is going to do a great job. I feel a whole lot more positive about the future of the world today. He’s shown us all that everything is possible, if we believe we can do it.
Well said. This was a pivotal election in American history. The people of the nation showed that we are all ready for change, no matter who the winner was.
I imagine we had the same great dreams last night. We did it! We did it! Paul and I are over the moon!
You did a great job designing the new sight…it looks terrific! And the content, though different, is excellent! Are you still interested in selling the site, or do you plan to continue? Blog Reviews, Political Commentary, Ann Rice…I thought that a teacher was buying bloggrrl, but it looks like we already have one here!
Please let me know if you’re still interested in selling…maybe we could do some sort of partnership?
I love your design, your content – everything…but I REALLY miss Rita
. (No offense, of course!) In her own way, she WAS a teacher, and I learned so much from her!

To Oktober5 -
I banned your IP address, as you’re spamming my blog with B.S. comments. You seem to like to make up usernames as well (the wife) etc.
I don’t what your problem is but, why don’t you simply go spend your time spamming someone else’s blog. You and your merry group of friends had enough fun over here for a while and now that fun is over.
BTW, you seem to have a personality disorder and you might want to get that checked out.
