When I went to bed on election night after reading that Obama was elected, I have to admit that my eyes welled up in a mix of emotions. It wasn't so much that I was sad that McCain lost the election because I don't think he would of made a good President to begin with. After taking a couple of days to sort through my emotions, I find that I'm bewildered, mad, and distraught.
I'm bewildered because after tens of thousands of US servicemen died and were wounded fighting so that other countries would be safe from Marxists, we put one in the White House.
I'm mad that people would put race ahead of reason and would completely shirk their responsibility to vet a candidate, especially after blaming McCain for not vetting his running mate.
I'm distraught because the people of this country just decided that the grand experiment that Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Adams, etc... started is over. We're throwing all that genius away and now we're going to follow somebody who has never led in a direction that no other country has has any success at - all on the promise of a buzzword that nobody can explain.
