Look What We Did!

No matter your political affiliations, you cannot deny what an historic day this is for America. It honestly make me so proud to be an American, for like the first time in almost eight years. I almost came to tears listening to his amazing acceptance speech, no lie. What an amazing week, first the Phillies win the world series, and now Barack Obama is going to be our next president. So AMAZING. There are very few words that can describe this feeling.

If you missed his speech, here it is:

Thoughts on the day that was:

I waited in line for 2 and a half hours to exercise my civic duty. Totally worth it!

I was not prepared for the chilly weather, flip flops made my feet really cold.

The people in front of us were really fucking annoying.  Like the one girl was so needy and annoying, oh and her friends kept cutting in line.  So fucking annoying.

I did not get my free scoop of ice cream because by the time I had voted, they had, most likely, ran out of ice cream and left. So sad.

I voted to legalize prostitution is San Francisco and to rename a sewer plant after George W. Bush.

I also voted no on props 4 and 8 (abortion rights and gay marriage bans, respectively).

I voted for the bullet train in California. Get to LA in like 2 or 3 hours would be awesome. Day Trips!

When MSNBC projected Obama as the President-Elect like not even a minute after polls closed on the West Coast.

Was I the only one digging the electoral map on the ice rink in Rockefeller Plaza? I wish I could have been there to watch them fill it in.

What the fuck was Michelle Obama wearing?  It totally looked like she was 8 months pregnant and about to pop out a baby.

That's about it, what an amazing day for America.


I found this really amusing, Craig Ferguson's take on some of the California Props. Classic:
