So now what??

Heres my recap.....

What does it boil down to?? Not much. I truly don't think that things are going to change THAT much. Especially not for a couple years. Like when it was the Clinton Era. Everyone knows that they are really bad as far as power hungry, immoral, and they probably did murder their way to the top.(I know Maddy is cracking up right now) OK but really the only harm they did that people can really remember is the fact that a lot of kids were exposed to some sexually graphic shenanigans going on in the White house because it was all so public and scandalous. I was a teenager then, but if I was a parent of kids my kids ages at the time I would have been freaking out. We all just thought it was funny. Yes, the economy was strong and everybody got richer, but in general our society took a big step down morally. Hmmmmm, interesting. That can't be good. ANYWAY my point is, Obama may have all these beliefs about aggressive abortion and wanting to tweak the constitution and redistribute wealth to lean us even more towards socialism, and all of this other horsecrap, but most presidents have all these high ideas, making them actually work is another story. Of course, now that the house and Senate are majority Democrat, he has more of a shot, but I don't think he can come in and just reform the country in a fowl swoop. He will have to compromise a lot. I realize that people think they are going to get a handout, and things will be more "fair" but we have an example of that. Its the Indian reservations. Yikes. If people don't work for what they get, they don't appreciate it. Easy come, easy go. I just have to have hope that there can be a happy medium, because things are obviously not working as they are. I am totally disgusted with how the Republicans have conducted themselves the last 8 years. It is all such a mess. Unfortunately this country's moral compass is shifting, and there is nothing we can do about it besides try to teach our kids and be prepared. If Obama wants to teach his daughter that if she makes a "mistake, she won't be 'punished' with a baby". Thats his perogative. I'm just glad he won't be teaching my kids. That gets to be my job. It just makes my job harder when the current I am trying to swim against gets stronger, but that dosen't mean I'm going to fail. Things are going to continue to go downhill, because these are the last days. No election is going to change that.

On the positive side, I am happy that so many people are enthusiastic about this election. It always really bothered me in the past when people just felt like "so what, I'm not even going to bother with it". That definetly hurts our country. We are Americans, if we don't care, who will? It was nice to see some energy in the whole process. I'm glad that people are happy, because just the positive energy alone will help all of us. We need some confidence back. And 102 passed, which is great news! We do still have a lot of say at the local levels, which is reassuring. Honestly, I would be a lot more bummed out had McCain won and 102 not passed, so I'm trying to see it as a positive election. I just have to keep doing my part.
