Democredemption

At my watch party, Obama’s victory was ushered in with applause and sighs of relief that “the other guy” didn’t win. That’s about it. No crying. No chanting. No screaming or hugging. While I didn’t believe in Obama’s ability to change the US in 2008, at least change was what people wanted. This country desperately wanted change and people were ecstatic at the possibility that it was on its way. Now we need drastic changes even more desperately, but it seems everyone has given up. Sitting in a room full of Obama supporters, I found myself saddened by their reactions to his victory. Why are we still electing individuals who we no longer believe in? At least Romney supporters believed in his ability to do something, anything. What are Obama supporters looking forward to with his election? It seems that the only thing the Democrats desired this time around was a defeat of Romney. Okay, you got it, Democrats. Now what are we going to do for the next four years?
