I must say I am more than pleased with the presidential outcome. Even though it was evident that there was a cogent chance of Barack taking John by a landslide, I was still anxious to know the results. I wonder if anyone else noticed the look of defeat on Palin's face. I'm sure that was a classic moment for most people to observe since she's always under a tremendous amount of scrutiny for being a dumb ass. I think Palin was affected by the outcome more so than McCain because she knew her presidency would be an inevitability once McCain croaked two weeks into office had he been elected.

As much as I admire the fact that this country is willing to accept diversity into office, I kind of think this campaign arose out of shock value. Clinton, Palin, Obama, cancer- where does one even begin to decide? You've to start somewhere, I guess, and this was definitely a considerable start. Clearly these decisions are made mostly out of liberty, favor, and even indulgence over politics, but each of those elements have been successful in contributing someone worth a damn into office.

Thank you, Half of America.

*Edit-

And for most of you Republicans who are worried about Barack and his religious views- you can always (hopefully) remember back to high school when you were (hopefully) introduced to the "separation of church and state" doctrine.

And remember, "Hussein" is not a denomination given specifically to terrorists.
