So, we have a new president elect. Not the one I wanted, but I guess we’ll just see how he does and hope for the best. What else can we do? No, I did not vote…for the first time in 16 years. We had a slight bit of confusion here. I sent my registration out, and never got it back. Or so I thought. About 8:30 last night I found out I did get my card. Crapsticks.

Next time I guess. I feel kind of crappy for not voting, but this could have happened to anyone. And I don’t CARE what anyone says, I still have EVERY right to complain. I’m so sick of hearing that if you don’t vote you have no right to complain. Who are these people to SHAME people who didn’t vote for one reason or another? What gives THEM that right?  But as long as my husband’s work attire includes camo and combat boots, I have every right in the world to my opinions. Other people complain about their husbands boss, my husband’s boss just happens to be the President.

Frankly I don’t HAVE any opinions yet. Both candidates had good ideas and bad, both occasionally needed shoe horns to pry their feet out of their mouths, both sides had lack of experience working against them (Palin, and Obama) and had experience working for them (McCain and Biden). I think Obama is an eloquent speaker, and can only hope the conviction behind his words is real. I whole heartedly agree it was time for a change. My only wish for the future is that we look at the PERSON not the PARTY when making a decision. Too many people have said “we need republicans/democrats out”. That’s not true. We need irresponsible, selfish, agenda climbing, corrupt PEOPLE out.
