Landslide? I think not.

I have struggled for the past two days on how to approach my post election blog entry. I still don't have a "theme" as I normally do. My emotions are all over the place and hard to get from my head and heart onto the page. Since I only have about 45 more minutes until it's officially WTF Friday I guess I will just jump in and start typing. If I start to ramble, just click away to something else and visit again next week.
Hint: Any future references to the media will now be Omedia. They have earned this title one hundred fold. I will continue now.
The Omedia keeps referring to the Democratic win as a landslide. I am sure that the 57 million people who voted against the Democrats take offense to that statement. I do. I don't think a difference of 5% equals a landslide. So, even though not a landslide, I am thankful that there was a clear winner. The reason why this matters you ask? Because of the "lets come together and unite" message.
This country has been torn apart these past 8 years and it began with the 2000 election. Bush did win that election, fair and square, but the other side just couldn't live with it. They ridiculed the man from before day one. Even a terror attack on our soil couldn't shut them up. Where was all the unity then? Why is it so important now, but wasn't then? If unity is all we needed to make America great why wasn't everyone holding hands and singing?
I hated the Bush bashing and Obama will be my President without any unwarranted abuse. I will, however, continue to watch him like a hawk. He does not represent my views and hopes for us as a people and a country and I will bitch loudly regarding anything I don't agree with.
I have a feeling that there will be some buyer's remorse from some who chose a Socialist over someone who I think genuinely wanted to try to clean up the mess in Washington. I have a great feeling of uneasiness on several fronts but just don't have the energy to address these things now. I really haven't been sleeping well. I hope that this uneasiness subsides as I wean myself from all the political crap. I will continue to pay attention to my gut feeling that there is just something not quite right about Mr. Obama.
He made history as the first MIXED RACED Amercian. No one will ever take that distinction from him. The fact that he is half-white seems to have been ignored. He ran a smart and brilliant campaign and won because of it and the Omedia failing or refusing to research him. I can understand why black Amercians are excited. I only wish that I could have been a supporter of this historic achievement but I chose to base my vote on issues instead of color.
Finally, I can honestly say that I am very happy that my boys are learning safely at home with me and not in the government school system that will most certainly not improve and may actually get further radicalized under a radical Socialist regime. Think I'm nuts? You research what he did in the Chicago area regarding schools, who he did it with and who he has in mind to help him in his administration in the education arena. If you get scared I have lots of homeschool resources I will gladly share.
That's it for now. I will get back to some fun WTF posts as next week. Send some suggestions!
PS: I came across this comment from some lovely person regarding the First Dog biting a member of the Omedia (way to go Barney!). The idiocy, grammer and typos were copied directly.

Today, at approximately 11am, Fox News reporter John Decker was walking across the White House lawn. He saw George W. Bush's dog, Barney, walking across the lawn. John leaned over to pet Barney, and Barney bit his index finger. This is rediculous! He had to be treated by the White House doctor.George W. Bush should be ashamed of himself for having his dog attack a reporter just because he lost the presidential race. What ever happend to losing gracefully? Thank God for Barack Obama! I heard he will be giving his daughters a new dog to have in the White House. Although, unlike with George Bush, reporters will be able to access the White House without fear of being attacked by the president's dog. We all know Obama will teach his dog some manners! It's about time we had some change after 8 terms of Republican rule! They are not smart enough to be running this country. Under this new president, we will know longer have these terrible incidents. I hope Mr. Decker sews George W. Bush for all he is worth. Every penny of his oil fortune he's made while in the White House. George W. Bush is a terrible man, and this is just further evidence. No decent person has there dog attack someone.
