| | Tomorrow is going to be one of the most historic days in history: a black man is officially going to become the president of the United States. I am so excited and relieved at the same time. From the time the primaries began, I found Obama's views relating a lot to my own, and his economic plans were so appealing and revolutionary compared to any other candidate. The speeches he gave were very uplifting and gave me hope about my future and the future my country. I am going to be staring at my television all day tomorrow watching the inaguration, so if you need me, you'll know where I'll be ;) Tomorrow is also a very special day for a different reason: Bush's last official day in office. He has put the economy in such debt and in such pain that it will take years upon years to get out of this crisis. How our country could elect such an idiot into presidency, I have no clue. We will hopefully be rid of him forever after tomorrow and we can be relieved of some of the stress in our everyday lives. It is a hard fact in life, having to wake up every morning and wonder, "What has that crazy s.o.b. done today?" Without him in office, maybe I can actually afford a car. Maybe I can afford to go to college and get a decent education. Maybe the use of fossil fuels will be eliminated completely, helping the air and environment grow out of its current situation. Maybe one day my children will live a life with more possibilities and more aspiration than I could even dream of. And maybe, just maybe, one day I could live in the house with the white picket fence, children running and laughing along with my husband and I. Maybe one of these days, I could afford to "live the American dream". |
