So..... Obama won.

It was a blow-out. I had expected as much. I feel weird though. Everyone else is celebrating in jubilation at the historic nature of this win. All I feel is relief. Shouldn't I be happier? I wanted this so badly. 8 years of Bush have numbed me so much that I feel as if we dodged a bullet tonight. And usually my response to something like that is to take a deep breath and thank the Lord for large favors.

I probably won't be able to fully appreciate what took place tonight until tomorrow morning. Until then, I want to thank everyone on my friends list who voted for Obama. We did it.

I didn't expect him to win by this much, but really, I think Bush killed a lot of my optimism. I should be thrilled, but like you, it's more like a relief. I'm too afraid to hope, but we need Obama to lead us now. Yeah, maybe when we wake up tomorrow, it'll be better (or at the very least, when he's sworn in in January).

The country is just so much of a mess right now. I don't envy Obama and I pray that he IS the leader we believe him to be. He is going to have to make some hard choices to fix this country and I have a bad feeling a good portion of the country isn't going to be happy about it.
