Yes, a post about politics ::ducks::

I think regardless of what anyone's affiliation is, this week, the buzz revolves around politics. I have been a mix of emotions, running on elation but at the same time such disheartenment.

I am happy that it is just over. No more campaigning for a couple years. I am looking forward to the change in power, I can't deny it. The current administration has had more of an impact on our family than I would like. And more than anything, I look forward to a time to heal our international imagine and work on our domestic issues.

At the same time, I am upset about many of the comments I have seen. I can understand to a point McCain supporters being bitter- it was a feeling driven by the campaign. The last election I felt the same way. However, the amount of racism coming from people I never expected it, the judgement before he even steps into office, is perhaps something I expected, but never wished to see. From text messages to forum posts, I have heard everything from Obama is the Anti-Christ to all white people should report to the cotton fields for training. A fatalistic attitude that breeds more hate. We have come so far, but when we feel we fail- this is what it comes down to?

I in no way shape or form think this is a good representation of the majority of McCain supporters. The most extreme comments and attitudes are often the ones we spend the most time reflection upon.

I clinge to the hope that as we move forward, that those who are so set on hatred will be dragged along with it. Right now, regardless of who our president is, is not the time to be divided. We have too much to do.
