I was the Obama precinct captain for this area and every sign I put up was destroyed within 12 hours, this was over a 10 mile radius!!<BR/><BR/>The one black family in the area had their home burned to the ground. No one was ever caught. <BR/><BR/>But, yesterday I didn't wear any mascara! I still smile when I realize what this new reality is that we have achieved!Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563150483422859462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-49038645158483883272009-01-21T17:44:00.000-06:002009-01-21T17:44:00.000-06:00I read this post with the preceding two, and they ...I read this post with the preceding two, and they made a nice story all together. The prima donna star who decreed that no-one should look him in the eye and the woman who wouldn't talk to a waitress, compared to the President of the most powerful nation on earth who stops off for a hot dog and chats away with the guys serving him, and spares the feelings of the Judge who fluffed his lines, by hesitating and thus making it look as if he was fluffing them too, rather than proceeding word perfect and showing him up.<BR/><BR/>And then your uncertainty about your personal future, an uncertainty many of us share about our own, set against the optimism and hope that swept over the nation and even the world yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Wow. Someone should pay me to do this stuff. And I love the description of your home town.

I swear, these are the most politically idiotic people in the country. I was born here, so I can say that. I had a delivery man in my home this morning and I made some sort of reference to the inauguration. He wasted no time in telling me he voted for the other guy and he was afraid for the country. I couldn't get him out of my house fast enough.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655321325607087357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-70397147358246511092009-01-21T04:43:00.000-06:002009-01-21T04:43:00.000-06:00Great - and how come you kept that t-shirt slogan ...Great - and how come you kept that t-shirt slogan to yourself until it's too late to use it?Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-84320928268920462472009-01-21T01:18:00.000-06:002009-01-21T01:18:00.000-06:00When we watched the news, it was amazing to see th...When we watched the news, it was amazing to see the streets of Washington DC packed shoulder to shoulder with supporters. It was obvious that it would be...... but just to see it was really amazing.<BR/><BR/>I hope that the new President Obama will be able to fulfill everyone's dreams and do something constructive about the Health system. England recently watched a programme about the poor in America who have no health Insurance.It was heart rending to see people with serious medical conditions who were doomed to die because of this. It was a real eye opener for me. So I really hope he will do something for these people.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-56351531202396479282009-01-20T23:52:00.000-06:002009-01-20T23:52:00.000-06:00History has definitely been made today!History has definitely been made today!That Janie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447630124016303483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-42536741727887117362009-01-20T23:27:00.000-06:002009-01-20T23:27:00.000-06:00I and the other people in the Netherlands, were gl...I and the other people in the Netherlands, were glued to their televisions and awe struck by the whole procedure.
