Change For Change's Sake

This guy better be good. We've elected a man with hardly any experience, no background, and a Senate voting record that does not reach "across the aisle". In the presidential race and the senate race here in Kentucky, the theme I heard over and over again was,"We need change".

What does that mean?

I didn't hear anything negative about John McCain except that he's associated with George Bush. That's it. One commentator said that there was no way he could've won last night, simply because he's a Republican. If that's true, we are a truly narrow-minded, stupid nation. Jesus and John the Baptist would've lost too (if they were Republicans). Have we come down to labels and associations? Have we gotten away from the issues completely? Do we throw 'em all out because of a few bad ones? This isn't a football team in need of a new coach! This is our freaking President! He will be making decisions that effect us all (and the world).

This is a horrible way to elect a President.

I think this election will go down in history not just because Obama is our first black president, but because this was truly a popularity contest. Student Council elections aren't that much different. Who's cooler? We don't like the current student council pres, and he's friends with this other guy, so we'll vote for the cool guy.

Regardless, I will do my best to put this stupid election behind me and hope for the best. I really do hope that Obama sees that he only won 52-46 percent. I hope he doesn't forget the South and Midwest states he completely ignored. I hope he considers the 55 million that did not vote for him. I hope he lives up to all the hype and becomes a good President.

Actually, I hope he does better than our current president.

Here's another perspective of the election. He puts it much better...
