“Blacks turning out in droves to support Obama also threw their support strongly behind Proposition 8, which would overturn the state Supreme Court decision allowing gay marriage.”
AP, “California exit poll highlights”
There is something so indescribably wrong about voting to remove the barriers of one injustice, while simultaneously voting to shore up the barriers of another.

“Racial Barrier Falls as Voters Embrace Call for Change”
The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia
Most exciting headline I’ve seen
“
I voted for John McCain because I admire him immensely as a person, and agree with him on many more issues than I do with Senator Obama. And I ask a rhetorical question: Can we McCain voters, without embarrassment, shed a tear of patriotic joy about the historic significance of what just happened? And I offer a short, rhetorical answer.
Yes, we can.
”Mike Potemra, conservative blogger at National Review Online. Yes you can.
(via election08)
Yes *WE* can. We’re in this together.
Barack Obama Wins Ohio

Say it with me now, “President Obama”.
YES. YES. YES. !!!!!YEAH! Thank you America, you done well!!

Brian Williams, NBC News, interviews Barack Obama. Obama makes it clear there isn’t going to be some huge lurch to the left. He handles the question about Supreme Court appointments well and gets in that he thinks the 2nd Amendment confers an individual right of own guns. It’s hard to square the guy in this interview with the terrorist-befriending socialist that John McCain keeps talking about.
I believed in Barack Obama before this interview. What he said about the Supreme Court, the right to privacy, and the 2nd amendment fully clenched that belief. This man thinks the way I think. We don’t reach all the same conclusions, but he thinks like me.
“So I’d be remiss if I didn’t take the time to point out that denying the right of marriage to any of us attacks and disrespects the institution of marriage for all of us.”

Vote NO! on California’s Prop 8. Racism has dwindled in this country but sexism (sexuality-ism?) is still going strong. It needs to end. This country was founded on the principals of equality for all. We got our shit together to end segregation and give women the right to vote. Lets get our shit together on this too.
