Yes We Can!

As I sit here, with tears on my face, listening to President-Elect Obama making his speech, I am amazed and thrilled that he won. I did not think it possible, that the people of the United States of America would elect an African-American President. I guess I should have had more faith.

I never thought the election results would affect me so much that as they are announced I would cry in joy. It amazes me how much pride I feel in America right now. Listening to the African-American commentators and news people speak from their hearts about how they felt was so touching and heartfelt.

It is so wonderful to listen to our leader speak and be proud that what he is saying makes sense and brings respect back the the United States.

You better believe it. Yes We Can!

Undecided

The race for the presidency of the United States has been going on for over two years and over a billion dollars has been spent. There is still a rather large percentage of people who say they are undecided. How is that possible? What the heck do they want to know and is it possible they will learn it in the next 48 hours?

Perhaps they should just stay home and start studying up for the next election in 2012.

It's almost over

In less than 60 hours we will have a new President and the campaigning will be put on hold for another two years. I cannot wait, I'm so tired of all the negativity.

It's just crazy, in my opinion, to spend this amount of time and money to elect our leaders. Imagine what we could do for the uninsured and under insured with all that money. Imagine how much research we could pay for; cancer, heart disease, stroke, autism, downs syndrome, could become things of the past.

Bellatrix day four

I finished the leg and I must admit the pattern is getting easier and the rounds are getting completed quicker. Unfortunately, the dogs are starting to feel the stress of being ignored and last night were both trying to climb into my lap while I was knitting. 150 pounds of dog makes knitting even more difficult, let me tell you.

I really like the yarn I chose for my socks, I'm not sure that I like the pattern though. If I knit fast enough, I may frog it and pick the other pattern.

Watching the debate while I knit and blog, sure am glad that I don't have to vote for any of the people who are on the screen right now.
