Not So Happy Turkey Day

I feel sorry for Obama. He is inheriting a broken country and I don't think anything he does will be good enough in a lot of Americans eyes. I was reading in the Daily Sentinel and it said constantly that no one is impressed with Obama's cabinet choices and in the "You Said It" column people are all ready blaming him for our horrible economy .....

Al-Qaeda had apparently vowed to hurt "Obamas US." The members of Al-Qaeda believe Obama is a "house slave" to American and that he has betrayed his Muslim roots.
" You were born to a Muslim father , but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews."

Obama's Weekly Address, Nov. 15th

11/12

I was reading in the Daily Sentinel before I left for school and it said that 87% of Americans believe that Obama will help out our economy, that's good to hear.

Gas by my house was a $1.96 today I was pretty excited. My dad predicted it would go up after the election ended but it hasn't yet. I love it thought because no seems to care that the gas has gone down in price. Americans only complain, we are rarely positive. Just an observation.

Withdrawls

I honestly don't know what to do with myself now that the elections is over. Almost everyday I would into Forward Colorado for a few hours and phonebank. I learned a lot while working for the Democrats. I learned that you need stand up for yourself, you will encounter people that are rude and you just need to shrug it off. I'm more comfortable in leardership positions and I feel like I can manage stress more easily. I'm not sure politics is something I want to go into for a career but I'm glad I got to be part of the historic election.

I feel bad for Obama. Americans are pessimists about our country. Very few believe we are going in the right path. Last night I was flipping channels and I stopped on a religious channel because in big bold letters on the screen it said "Worlds End" on the show they were discussing that Obama getting elected president is a sign of the end of the world. oh what news. Honestly people, calm down.

So Obama has apparently chosen his chief of staff. It will be U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel worked for the Clinton Administration and now is the 4th- ranking Democrat in the House.

They think Obama chose Rahm Emanuel because he has experience and has a strong personal relationship with Obama.

Chemistry was rough today. There were three students in my class that were so over dramatic about McCain losing. One wore black because she was mourning and the two others just kept on saying how Obama was going to shot anyway . Okay I know I would have been sad if McCain would have won but come on, hoping for assassination is very morbid and strange. Obama is our president now, whether or not you voted for him.

I'm very said Dan Robison and Bernie Buescher lost, they are two great guys. Mesa Country loves Republicans and hates taxes I think that was evident last night.

McCain's speech last night was very good last night BUT not as good as Obama's. My dad got chills when he was speeching and my mom started crying.

I know these next 4 yrs are going to rough, no matter the president but I believe there will be more progress with Obama in office.

The first election I was able to vote in and I chose the winner. I know this won't always happen so I am savoring it.

SHWEEET

OBAMA WON !!!
UDALL WON !!!

Salazar, I'm not sure yet but I hope he does.
I'm very sad Bernie might not win =( everyday he would come into our office and thank us for our hard work.

Today I clocked in an 11 hr work day and it was totally worth it.
COLORADO WENT BLUEEEE !!!

thanks hillary for going and canvassing with me, you're awesome.

=(

It is very sad that Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham died just a few days before the election. I'm very glad Obama took time out of this campaign to go visit her in Hawaii. I'm also glad that McCain acknowledged Obama's loss. It's nice to see that even though they are opponents they are still humans who have feelings.

7 am it begins

I am so nervous .... Tomorrow I am working all day at Forward Colorado. We are still phone banking and canvassing making sure that our supporters are going to the polls or are turning in their mail in ballots. My mom bought me a t-shirt that says "Change 08". I'll be rocking it tomorrow.

John Salazar and I .....
