decision 08. the way i see it.

now that the election is over
i feel like talking about it
before, i was at too much of a loss
too conflicted...
who/what are we supposed to believe?
campaign promises?
smear tactics?
internet rumors?
it all seemed pointless to me.
i think it all came down to obama's composure
and confidence vs. mccain's deer-in-the headlights look and
his frustration over not being able to get his words out.
basically obama is a rockstar
mccain is a grandpa...
that's how it seemed to me.

did the right man win?
i honestly don't know.
it is impossible to know
because I can't see into the future.
i was totally freaked out at the thought of al gore
becoming president but i don't feel that way about obama.
afterall all i do not put my trust in man
but in a God who sees all things and is sovereign.

one thing is for sure...
i was proud to tell my children
that the first african american man was elected president
because that my friends is awesome.

issues aside,
i'm proud for the history that was made yesterday.

"we hold these truths to be self evident that all men were created equal..."

p.s. it was fun (and stressful but mostly fun)
to serve free coffee to all the voters yesterday.
I have NEVER been so non-stop busy at work the line was HUGE all day!
To steal michelle's word it was epic!
I enjoyed the high energy and excitement in the air,
it was like americans were awakened to what a privilege voting truly is.
I commend companies like starbucks, krispy-kreme, chick-fil-a
and ben & jerry's who gave away free stuff just for voting.
