Obama, The Best

It was amazing for me to view yesterday's historic moment and feel a sense of hope for this country again.

I have lived through a lot of Presidential administrations and have to say that Bush, in my opinion, is truly the worst of all--and I lived through the Reagan years, Nixon, and Bush the First. I have seen a sense of hopelessness creep into people's lives during this administration which is soul-and-life oppressing, and I hope that Obama's administration will create an infusion of hope--for I think he WILL get elected.

Oh, and not to play down the great historical significance of Sarah Palin as the Republican vice-presidential candidate, but she's not a good choice for McCain to draw in the "angry Hilary supporters," as was said somewhere in the news today. Palin is highly conservative, anti-abortion, anti-same sex marriage, and is not, in my opinion, qualified enough in terms of her political record to be a heartbeat away from the presidency in these horrifically troubled times (McCain is 72 years old and has had four bouts with cancer). So that's my humble opinion on the matter.
