Have you ever seen an election year remotely close to the excitement of this year?

Some said Obama needed to wait until he "seasons" a little more, hell, I even admit, I found myself early on asking this, but as I look back over the last two years since Obama announced he was running for President, I see how a "perfect storm" was simmering just below the surface. His vision for the future of our country could not wait four more years and that to me resonates more than anything that is happening now. For him to make the bold move to run at that time, knowing the odds that were against him, surely now must remove any doubt that he is someone who can lead this country. I don't think anyone could have predicted how all these "events" could have come together at the perfect time, but this is what HISTORY making is all about--and I for one, am so glad to be able to witness it front and center:D

I know we have three, long, tumultuous weeks--and the attacks will get worse, as well as the concern of the so-called, "October surprise"--but I am seeing the light at the end of this long eight years in the tunnel.

Like many of you, I am going to bust my ass doing what I can for an Obama win and will remain CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC, since we have lived and seen all too well, the shenanigans the repubs pull when backed against the wall--and they are indeed cornered now.

So, in the spirit of hope and getting our country back, here's to three weeks of working our asses off:toast:

4. Trial by fire.

Forced to do what no other candidate has EVER had to do in the 231 year history of this country (under the Constitution).

This year, and this whole election cycle, has been AN UGLY UGLY DISGRACE.

6. It's definitely not the Same ol'/same ol' crap..

Every time I get freaked and upset by the news certain (BY MARRIAGE) family members of mine try to tell me that the same stuff happens over and over, like I'm just being silly caring about big stuff happening in the world.
From now on that is NOT the case, not with anything in the world, and definitely not with America. If Obama wins I might start remembering what hope feels like again :bounce:

7. I get the same crap from my family and co-workers, too...I feel your pain

Keep hope alive! :~)
