LOL, that's ok, I can take some stabs (about me or anybody), as long as they're figurative and not literal.

I am really wondering what you mean by this, because I have heard other people say something similar to it. I heard Obama talk about Hope and Change, and I know what change is, but I never really understood the hope that he was talking about.

I like that I played a part in making history. I'm awed that I witnessed such an important day for this country. I feel hopeful again. I've missed that feeling. 11-04-2008

Why do you feel hopeful because Obama was elected? What does that really mean?

Well, feelings are pretty subjective, so what makes me hopeful may not make you (or anyone) feel the same. It's likely that what makes me hopeful is what concerns you. I feel hopeful because the election will bring in people and policies that more align with what I am concerned about and believe in. If the GOP had kept the executive office, I would likely have kept my deep concerns about the direction and future of the country.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
