On another note, the election is finally over and Obama trumped McCain. I was happy to see this happen, as I believe McCain and Palin would have set America back 50 years. The important thing is there is a President-elect who has brought a majority of American voters together in these troubled times, when we desperately needed to start working together for our common good. It is no longer about political ideologies or stupid parties, it is about fixing what has gone horribly wrong. If our congress men and women would stop labeling themselves as republican, democrat, liberal, etc., and just sat down together and actually governed they could do a lot of good. It's time our country went back to the foundations it started on, where the government does what's best for the people, not what's best for their party. Everyone has different views about stuff such as the war in Iraq or abortion, but just because we may have a few things in common with others does not mean we should split ourselves apart and attack those with different views.
I think the only way for America to truly fix itself is to start off by getting rid of the electoral college. It has made the two-party system virtually indestructible, and is a major reason why there is so much tension between the two.
Anyways, these troubled times are looking up, with the Bush years soon to be a part of the past and an historic Presidency about to begin. While I did not vote for Obama or feel he should have been elected yet, this is definitely a time of change in our country, hopefully and most likely, change for the better. If not, Hillary Clinton 2012.
