Obama is President

So I know that this blog is supposed to be strictly sports. However I figure on a day like today I must comment on the election.

First, I just want to say that I did not register to vote. So maybe my opinion does not matter. I have to right to complain about either candidate. But this isn't about McCain or Obama. This is about their supporters.

As soon as Obama was elected president, Facebook was littered with status changes. Some people have it in their heads that electing Obama will some how start the end of the world. Seriously people? Are we that ignorant?

"Obama is the Antichrist," seems to be the consensus.

Wow. That is a serious accusation. How can we be so narrow-minded? Mainly supposed "Christians." We aren't supposed to vote for him because his party supports abortions. But John McCain is OK even though he still wants to send men and women to Iraq?

With people threatening to leave the U.S., I think the best status of the night was from a friend of mine who is currently serving in Iraq. He said, "If you want to leave so bad, Iraq is nice. I will gladly switch with you."

I really think we are in good hands with Obama. I think he knows what is best for this country. I think he realizes it is time for a change.

On the plus side, if Facebook's counter is correct over 5 million people that are on Facebook did vote. I was not one of those people.
