I had the extreme pleasure of getting to go see Avenue Q with one of my favorite people in the world this year. (I'm talking about Brian!) I think I was mostly excited that I would be one of the last audiences that got to hear the line..."GEORGE BUSH! is only for now" screamed out. I screamed and yelled and cried and was very happy. :) Now let me just say, I come from a group of very conservative minded friends, and although most of them would tell you that they don't really care for Mr. Bush either, they don't seem to fathom how much this means to me and how hurtful it feels sometimes when people make fun of liberals and basically my way of life. Now, I know we are all different, and I really try my hardest not to go crazy either way, but it's kind of a bohemian thing, you know? Freedom, Beauty, Truth and Love? I just find it sad that I try my absolute hardest not to make fun of things that I find to be absolutely horrifying, (the NRA, trying to take women's rights away, and taking the civil right of marriage away from human beings) but I don't flash it around and believe me, it would be really easy to. How easy would it be to scream about what an IDIOT George Bush is? The rest of the world does. They have the proof to back it up, is the sad thing. I could rant and rave about the "No Child Left Behind" piece of SHIT that has basically ruined so much of my future as an educator and the educations of many students who are currently going through the pubic school system....
But do I? No. I honestly don't feel that's the right way to act. George Bush is a human being. He makes mistakes, like the rest of us. He was man that wasn't qualified for the job, and that was proven, but it doesn't make him a bad person. What would you do if you were in those shoes?
I guess what I'm getting at, is that it just makes me sad to hear people making fun of Obama's positive campaign. Obviously at 12:01 tomorrow, I'm not going to have 3 million dollars in my hands. Obviously, world peace isn't going to happen, and the economy won't be instantly fixed. Why not give the man a chance to do what he says he wants to do before you criticize him?
I guess this is just a note to let myself remember how touched I've been by this election, and if you are really one of my friends, you know how involved I've been since the beginning. Barack Obama didn't swindle me or seduce me with his charm and big promises, I believed in him from the beginning, and you'd know that if you really knew me. If you really knew me, you'd know that I am very involved and active in my beliefs, and my biggest pet peeve is when people try to make me feel like I'm ignorant. Also, being a sane adult, I know that there will always be differing opinions. I know this, and I respect those of the people that I love, it would just be nice to get that a little bit in return.
So, in short.
GEORGE BUSH! is only for
I still believe in Barack Obama, and I know that he will make mistakes just like President Bush.
I am super stoked to be a part of the positive movement in this nation.
I leave you with this.
I love the part when Obama says he was abducted by aliens, and the parts when John McCain is just walking around. :)

First, may I say that I am glad you started and ended such a serious post with hilarity.
Second, I hope that I really don't offend you with my jokes against liberalism. The jokes aren't meant to be real stabs, but more of the playful way I've been interacting with those who are typically more liberal than I for a long time. lol, if it really offends you, I'll try to stop, but I think it would be easier for you just know that its all in fun! :-D
Thirdly, coming from a person who is more conservative than most, yet more liberal than most conservatives (if that made sense), I agree that we should be focusing on the positives of this next President, that even conservatives should be looking at this Presidency with some amount of hope. Obama has plans that are backed by more than just the a simple statement and an all but "you'll see if you elect me" policy, such that was sported by John Kerry. What we need right now is a President who will improve the American home while also upholding the interests of our partner nations and those nations who, though may not like or agree with us, look up to us and depend on us. President Obama may be the right man for the job, but he has a lot of proving to do to the American people.
Here's hoping that he can uphold those promises and help us turn back toward a brighter America.
