ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf I know many people that feel this way, and I do hope that Obama uses this new found trust and hope wisely. Maybe seeing some harsh things in my life, politically, business and personal, has turned me into a pessimist or something. I don't know but I just find it strange that people are loopy over him. Almost like Obama was King of this country (similar to how people get loopy over royalty). quote:
ORIGINAL: GreedyTop I'm not "worshipping' Obama/.... but as I've said in a couple of threads already... I feel a sense of hope and optimism that I have NOT EVER felt in all the years I've been eligible to vote. And based on what I've seen and heard, I'm NOT the only one who feels that way. He'll doubtless make errors. He is only human. But the fact that a large portion of the population seems to be feeling energized and hopeful with his election makes me think that some good change is in the air... Well, as much as I would love to make a long, intelligent addition to this/these post/s, I really can't. All I can say is "Ditto." And that one word you used a couple of times, that strikes me a lot, and I've said the same thing a lot. "Hope." You can see it in peoples eyes again, it's something I've seen very little of for quite a long time. Admittedly though, I am exhausted today. Was up at 5am to start watching the coverage yesterday, and was up late partying. ;)
