I Can't Believe It

I cried last night when they called it for Obama, and when they showed all the ecstatic people, and when he was giving his speech. I didn't think I would; I really wanted him to win, but I'm not one of the people who thinks he's The Chosen One. But I started thinking about the last eight years, and how the Constitution has been turned into toilet paper by those in charge, and how the rest of the world thinks we're a bunch of ignorant bullies thanks to Bush and his Dr. Strangelovian Go Fuck Yourself foreign policy, and how depressing it was in 2004 to see that that seemed to be what a lot of Americans wanted, and I cried because I finally, finally saw that coming to an end.
