My country, 'tis of thee,Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee i sing...
No matter what your views on politics are, today has been a day that will be remembered for years and years to come. It is amazing to say I actually saw something that most thought would never happen. This is something my grandparents probably NEVER believed would actually happen. I could not be more proud right now.
It is obvious that our country is in a state of distress, panic, and chaos. As a soon-to-be graduate, I would be lying to say that I'm not nervous at all. If our nation is really going to change things, the divide needs to end. Barack Obama is our president no matter what. It doesn't matter if you are conservative, moderate, or liberal. The election is over, and we are still all Americans. This segregation needs to end. Obama has really instilled a sense of hope and future progress. It's not going to be an easy fix, but it is going to take a true shift in morale for things to get better. People need to start believing that our country will get past these difficult times.
I've supported Obama since I saw him speak over two years ago in Austin, and today just made it all seem that much more real.
P.S. - will you people stop with your gah damn facebook statuses about socialism and how awesome Bush is? Get over it/yourself.
