President Elect Obama!

So Obama won!!! I didn't actually vote for Obama, but I'm actually really excited he won... Although it's getting pretty annoying hearing all of my friends comment on how he won and how my guy lost, I'm really happy to see him as our new President. I think I'm actually more excited to see what he'll do. To see how he'll make sense out of all of this. Another thing I'm waiting to see is if he'll keep to his platform and if he'll actually do what he said he would. Now, that he's going to be President and the majority in Congress is Democrat, if nothing gets done or passed, all the blame goes to them. At the same time, when, if* change occurs, they get all the glory.

I Hate Lines...

Is the voting system outdated. In reading the post someone wrote about Recount and with the election coming up, it makes you wonder how the whole process works. I saw the movie as well and found myself getting really upset as to why they couldnt just count every vote again. The way the whole system is organized is basically that its not organized. When I went to vote, the lines were ridiculous and so you'd think there would be organization when so many people were involved. They had it by last names and of course I was stuck in the longest line. They then started to split the lines and at one point there were like 5 lines, so meanwhile while i was waiting for 2 hours, someone who had just shown up 15 minutes prior got in just because their last name started with an "H". I know it seems petty, but little things like that discourage people, especially people who have things to do like go to class or work...
