I don’t care what anyone says, America loves a good O!
Or, at least I do. Watching this speech, I fell in love with my president all over again. I’ve posted President Barack Obama’s victory speech here, just in case you missed it last night just like I did. Enjoy!
I woke this morning to the good news. President Obama had one a hard fought, long battle to stay in the White House for four more years. I cannot stay up late, I have to man my post at work very early, so the news came as a pleasant start to my day.
As someone who believes in good sportsmanship, I refrained from crowing my pleasure, only giving in to one positive tweet:
ceceliamorgan Woke up to my preferred president! Color me optimistic!
After all the ups and downs, dog-whistles, and ridiculousness of the GOP Primary, and horribly divisive Romney campaign filled with fact averse statements, and the most pumped up media coverage of a presidential race to date, America chose to stay the course. Continue reading
November 6, 2012 is finally here.
Election day at last!!! Like a good little citizen, I went to my local polling place, waited in line, got my ballot, made my selection, and exercised my civic duty and precious right to vote. The whole process took less than twenty minutes to my surprise, perhaps due to the fact my district enjoyed a short ballot this year. I hope your experience was as pleasant! Now all that’s left to do is wait for the results, the continuation of the Obama administration, or a less clear path under Mitt Romney.
I really got a kick out of the people from other nations, whose curiosity about the way Americans vote, made me think about the whole process in a new way.
In the words of Vice President Joe Biden, election 2012 is shaping up to be a big f@#$ing deal!!! Even the creative types who work on popular animated television shows know this election is so very important!
In an effort to entertain and be informative I have found a digital video treat for you, kids. Enjoy this Pro-President Obama campaign ad, see what you think, and drop me a line, ok?

Wonder what the campaign of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, will have to say about the casual way Pat Robertson of the 700 Club advises a fellow with a “rebellious” wife to move to Saudi Arabia, so he can “stand” up to her. Nah, that doesn’t sound misogynist, racist, or Anti-Islamic at all…..
I’m sure Whipsaw Willard found the minister’s attempt at humor hilarious, but wife beating went out of vogue decades ago. I’m no political strategist, but, I am pretty sure that is not the way to show women you “love” them, care about what matters to them, and ultimately get their votes come November. Continue reading
Please review the some semi good news I got in my Inbox just the other day! I was born in Pennsylvania, and have tons of family living there, so I am particularly interested in the efforts of Republicans to tamper with the right to vote of so many.

I absolutely loved the speech Michelle Obama gave last night at the Democratic National Convention. I found it to be positive, passionate, and effective at inspiring hope for the future of this country. She was an excellent surrogate for her husband’s bid for reelection, but, I have to admit, I watched the speech more than once, also to admire the first lady’s buff and beautiful shoulders! The clip of the President Barack Obama and their daughters watching her speak to the DNC audience on his behalf was amazing. He has a lot to be thankful for, she looked and communicated at her absolute best.

Insulting whole nations is not an appropriate activity for someone who wants to be President of the United States. Staging cheesy speeches to garner Jewish and Catholic votes at the expense of this country’s reputation is crazy…. Okay, not that crazy, given the state of the modern Republican party’s unprecedented love of greedy, self interested attitudes, dog whistle sound bytes, and blind devotion to staying on message, even when the message is stupid.
