I think that Dems and liberals (and Obama supporters who don't fall into those categories) are being really hypocritical. Many of these people were talking about moving to Canada when Bush was elected/reelected and never stopped criticizing Bush. It can be said that the Bush presidency wouldn't have been as bad if everyone had worked together and JUST GOTTEN WITH IT. But that wasn't enough to get people to get over these stupid Repub, Dem, liberal, conservative divides.** So folks shouldn't act brand new now as if an Obama presidency suddenly means nonpartisanism and a unified America. What change people are waiting for doesn't happen so quickly.

I heart you. That is exactly what I've been feeling for the past couple of days. Many of the same people who have Bush-bashed for 8 years are now crying foul because others are disappointed with the election results. I myself said that I wasn't going to watch any news for months because I couldn't stand all the Obama ass-kissing. That lasted 24 hours. I got over my pity party and am interested to see what will happen. Not excited - interested. But maybe in a few months I can be excited. I definitely don't want him to fail. And it's actually Pelosi and Reid that I fear more than Obama.
