my thoughts on obama and a new tag-o-rama

For the record, I am disappointed with the outcome of the election, but not surprised. I wasn't crazy about either candidate, but I do think there was a lesser of two evils there. I found it frustrating how it was totally made out to be an election based on race rather than what the men had to say, their platform, their opinions, etc. What if a chinese american had run for president? Should we all vote him in just because he's different and we've never had a chinese american president before? Anyway, I'm sick of it all and will be glad to go back to the days without 8 hundred million political telemarketing calls all the live long day.

I congratulate the Obama platform and pray that they along with the Democratic House of Representatives will be responsible with our country. We've been told that the state of our government and country and world will get worse before it gets better, and I only fear that this is one more step toward our "constitution hanging on by a thread." (Joseph Smith) Let's pray not.

Now, on a lighter side, My friend Dahlene sent this survey to me via email, and since I am so sick to death of all the political talk, I thought I'd repost this and tag anyone interested.
